Introducing the Class of 2021
Last week we kicked off the 22nd academic year of the Sovereign Grace Pastors College. As you might imagine, we’ve spent a great deal of time making program adjustments and contingency plans in the face of the remarkable season in which we find ourselves. Yet, none of that dampened the joy and anticipation we experienced last week. We are marveling yet again at the quality of students and their families sent to us by our churches. Thank you for investing in these families, and for entrusting them to us for the next 10 months. They are truly an expression of God’s goodness to Sovereign Grace and a tremendous encouragement to us as we consider our future as a family of churches.
This year, we have 10 students, ranging in age from 23-41. They hail from 6 different churches in 3 states, with one international student from Juarez, Mexico. Some come from full-time ministry, some from the marketplace, and some from academic settings. But they have all arrived obviously eager to maximize the opportunities this year will afford for learning and growth.
Let me introduce you to the class of 2021.
Back row: Ethan Montesinos – Louisville, KY • Reid Williamson – Louisville, KY • Josh Varnedoe – Knoxville, TN • Kevin Busch – Middletown, PA • Nick Kidwell – Glen Mills, PA
Front row: Taylor Hollingsworth – Athens, TN • Andrew Maples – Louisville, KY • Austin Jones – Louisville, KY • Jake Cronin – Knoxville, TN • Edgar Flores – Juarez, MX
All of our labors and good intentions profit nothing without the Lord’s hand of blessing. Would you please join us as we pray for our students and their families? We’re asking that:
A hunger for God and his word would be kindled and burn bright and continuous throughout the year
Marriages and families would be strengthened and find new life and joy and godliness
Minds would expand and grasp truth and its contours and relationships and implications
A passion and faith for God’s purposes in the local church would be galvanized
Gifts for ministry would be discovered and sharpened and empowered
Dimensions of God’s calling would be discerned and vision for ministry clarified and inflamed
Teachers would be strengthened and sharpened and graced to teach their courses like never before
In everything, every context and in every way, Christ would be magnified in every mind, heart, and life associated with the Pastors College
Thank you for your support.
