I had been looking for a place where I might further my education for a number of years. I came to an open house to learn more about the seminary and was told about a course called Lifestyle Evangelism and Discipleship. That has been the focus of the work that I have been doing as a missionary and Christian teacher. I believe that I have now become part of a new family at the seminary. It has an important role in my life, the life of my family, and our community. I’m not just taking classes, but am enjoying the whole ministry of the seminary. My faith has been strengthened.

The Seminary has impacted my life by providing a sound biblical education within a loving and nurturing environment. Earning my Master of Christian Studies has fulfilled a life long educational goal and, more importantly, has taught me the value of loving and serving God and others with humility and gratitude. My time at the Seminary has been life-changing and truly defining in terms of personal and spiritual growth.

I have been impressed by the empathy, attitudes, and methodology of those affiliated with SLTS. I expect that my continued experience with these individuals will continue to shape and develop my approach to Christian spirituality and ministry. I believe the new intercultural studies program has the ability to educate and shape myself and others, equipping us educationally to apply the insights of cross-cultural missions both overseas and in the "Samaria" of Utah and the greater U.S.

I decided to sit in on Professor Wakefield’s class and was excited about the class and information presented. His teaching style, heart, knowledge, and experience were phenomenal. I was a sponge absorbing as much information as possible. I am convinced that SLTS is the place where I am supposed to be working toward my MDiv. I expect my relationship and knowledge in Christ to grow to new levels. I know that I will be given new tools that will enable me to lead people toward Christ.
