"My oldest brother Will, an Evangelical Christian, had always been interested in attending seminary, but never thought it was his true calling. For some reason he felt he needed to follow in the footsteps of our father and grandfather and make a career in business. He attended a four year university and received his Bachelor's degree in Marketing, then earned his Master's Degree immediately after. Six years of schooling, two degrees, a family, and several thousand dollars in financial aid debt later, he felt more lost than ever before. Unsure of where to turn, he looked to God for answers.
"He got more involved each week at church and after some time he was ordained a deacon. With the fire of God raging inside, Will began toying with the idea of attending the seminary, but was still burdened with the financial debt he accumulated from his schooling. After spending many hours in prayer and consulting with the pastor of his church, Will decided that he was going to start attending evening and weekend seminary classes. He decided to enroll in one course the next semester and began preaching about once a month at his Protestant church.
"Meanwhile, our grandfather, the business man, received a message from God while in prayer. He was having some issues with his current church, and felt God telling him to accumulate his tithe for a special purpose. Two weeks later our family got together on a Saturday for my mother's birthday. The following day, Sunday, my brother was to preach at his church, so the entire family decided to attend and give him our support. That morning while watching and hearing Will preach, our grandfather heard God again. This was what he had been saving up for. Not knowing about Will's interest in the seminary, that morning our grandfather felt God pushing him to help Will get through his seminary classes. After talking with the church's pastor, he donated $5,000 to help pay for Will's seminary classes.
"My brother just finished his first seminary course, and is enrolled in two more classes that will be starting in the next few weeks. I am so happy that God is using my brother to share His Word."
