  1. My wife and I are so thankful to the Lord and Asbury Seminary for the Shepherd’s Fund. We’ve been blessed to utilize the fund for the last couple years to cover numerous medical expenses that out-of-pocket we simply could not afford. As an Asbury Seminary graduate and in small cross-cultural ministries over the last 51 years, we’ve never been able to gain any savings, though the Lord has always provided one way or another. The Shepherd’s Fund has been His means of helping us especially with medical expenses that we had no means to pay. We are so thankful that Asbury provides such help! Thank you, Asbury – for a tremendous education and training and then helping us in our latter years.

I know it is by word of mouth that more and more alums hear about this tremendous offering. Thank you for helping to spread the word. May God continue to bless the generous donor who makes this possible for us!
