Letter To Wellesley College

After a car accident three years ago, God used the recovery period to hone my old skills and birth new. Over the course of the process, He repositioned me for a different journey. The new path led to a transition from a secular K-12 setting to Christian higher education; yet, still within the context of supporting a diverse student population. My purpose became preparing and teaching ministerial leadership in a

WAHOO! Another year has flown by, summer is creeping up on us, and this means that yet another life-changing experience is approaching me leaving my heart and mind ever so anxious. The 2018 mission trip will take place in Pine Ridge, South Dakota, and I couldn’t be more excited to add more fuel to my fire for Jesus that has been growing in my heart. In a few short weeks, I will have the opportunity to travel with the Marathon FCA group to the reservations to assist in building houses, work in the image and likeness of Jesus giving the people reasons to smile, and change the lives of many through simple, yet huge, acts of kindness. I have been involved in my FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) group ever since I was a freshman,

I am Jamral Dejohn Rease, From Greensboro, North Carolina, son of Sammuel Johnson and Karen Rease. Currently I attend the University of North Carolina at Pembroke seeking a Master degree in the field of social work. After graduating from Grimsley high school in Greensboro North Carolina, I enrolled in the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, with a scholarship to play football. After a career ending concussion my junior year, I decided to pursue a profession in human services. To be engaged in my community and its development is very important to me because the people I admire engage in the same responsibility on a professional and humane level. Moreover, they take personal responsibility by staying engaged in community. These are values and beliefs that I have integrated throughout every aspect of my life. Further, surrounding myself around more individuals that strive to continue these goals to aid in my development as a greater leader and mentor

Where did God fit inside the equation, and how would all these elements shape His Plan: my husband, my supervisor, my transformed ambition to enroll into college, my college professors, and my career job choices?

I am writing to you today to tell you about an exciting opportunity I have through my school, Liberty Christian. My senior class will be going on a mission trip to COSTA RICA from Saturday, May 6, 2017 to Friday, May 12th. During this time, we will be working with the mission agency SCORE International in order to serve God by serving the Costa Rican people. We will have opportunities to serve and minister to the people we meet through various service opportunities, such as: children’s ministry, preaching, drama, and humanitarian aid distribution.

It appears the Holy Spirit has graciously lead me into your midst for my required internship this academic year. As a student at United Theological Seminary for a second masters in Religious Leadership, I am writing to you today to tell you a little bit about myself.

I am writing this letter of appeal not because I believe Brooklyn college has made a mistake in their acceptance, but because I feel the need to give my priority school one more shot. Growing up a resident in the neighborhood of Flatbush I cherished my atmosphere and surroundings. Giving back to my community was always my priority. It was what made me feel successful. My everyday life consisted of me going to my neighborhood origination and volunteering with whatever they needed help with that day because, it was something I enjoyed. When I got to high school I was exposed to all the clubs and extracurricular my school had to offer. Lots of the clubs caught my interest. I felt like lots of them could use my help and so, I joined them. I joined

After recently moving to the University of Central Florida, I began to feel like a little fish who was swimming in an even bigger pond than before. As loneliness set it, I started to have second thoughts in regards to why I was in a place where I felt like I didn 't belong. Turning to prayer, I asked that God would surround me around college students who held the same beliefs as myself, allowing me feel apart of a family again. Fortunately, I was directed to Cru. Cru is an international ministry that is planted on college campuses all around the world. Their vision is to help individuals discover, build, and evangelize the gospel of Jesus Christ based on the principles of Faith, Growth and

Volunteerism and willingness to serve others are magnificent character traits to discover while growing up. If one is involved with such activities, they will be able to contribute to society as a whole and “leave a mark” on the world for the better. However, such activities would not be available without the assistance of an outreach coordinator. Such people prepare service projects for the community, non-profit organization, or church in hopes of spreading good will among those affected by these actions. They also must be available to offer support to individuals who walk in and require the outreach coordinator’s services. Jeanna-Mar Simmons, a family friend, generously allowed me to shadow her on April 24, 2014. This wonderful lady is the outreach coordinator for Christ United Methodist Church. During my shadow, I was able to discover the intricacies of the organization behind all the service projects I participate in on a regular basis as well as learn about her relationship with God and how it intertwines with her work and the environment at the church.

This summer, I got to see firsthand the way my liberal arts education impacts the way I share Christ. Along with ten other OBU students, I was given the privilege of serving through the North American Mission Board in Portland, Oregon. My job as a church-planting intern was to build relationships with unbelievers, share Christ with unbelievers, learn what it would be like to actually plant a church, and ultimately, learn to live life on mission.

My name is Caitlyn Mae Cairme and I am going to be a rising Sophomore next year at Marist College. I am in the search of a "work-study job" on campus for this coming fall semester and semesters to follow. I was referred by Naya Onyiuke and after speaking to her, I am extremely interested at working in the library.

Throughout my professional career in higher education, I have grown a strong interest in serving non-traditional and community college students. This unique population thrives when they have access to student support services and transformative educational opportunities. I have the desire to be in a position where I am able to dictate how these students are serviced and, or how accessible educational opportunities are to them. I received my Bachelor’s degree from East Carolina University in Family and Community Service with aspirations of being a social worker, but shortly after leaving the institution I gained employment in Thomasville City School system. There I had the chance to mentor and teach transferable life skills and soon realized

Ever since I was a little kid, I have been going to church. Over the years, I have felt like I have come closer and closer to God. Through God, the church has influenced me to become a better person. They put me on the right path, helping me find the light that lead me out of the darkness. God, and more specifically the church, has given me hope and strength. They molded me into a person who looks forward to the future, and what I can accomplish. It is hard to believe that I will be going off to college soon. It seems just like yesterday that I started High School. However, as scary as the real world will be, I know I’ll have my family and friends to help. I know when I begin my work as a Computer Scientist, I will have God at the helm guiding

This course has had a great impact on my walk with Christ as well as my witness for Christ. I pastor a church and teach two classes and for me I thought that I was doing plenty. However this course has helped rekindle my passion for sharing Jesus Christ with people through personal evangelism. This paper will demonstrate what I have learned throughout this course.

In examining my experience during the recent Cohort Intensives held at Payne Theological Seminary (PTS) in Wilberforce, Ohio; I was quite intrigued with how all of the scholars and guest speakers reinforced many of the initiatives I have already implemented in the context of my own ministry. Likewise, my time spent in class with my Cohort mentors Bishop Vashti Murphy McKenzie and Rev. Dr. Kenneth S. Robinson was both scholastically and spiritually invaluable. During the week-long Intensive class sessions with my mentors, I learned a number of new things about myself that I was not previously willing to address. In short, I had a moment of self-actualization that required some personal omissions on my part regarding my faith and yes some internalized oppression as labeled by author Gayraud S. Wilmore. Opening up in class and admitting a few of my own short-comings was nothing short of liberating. Suddenly, I felt as though I had an epiphany; that has given birth to a renewed zeal, mind, and spirit. For the first time in years I am certain that I am now moving closer to the apex of excellence where God intended me to be.
