“When I think about the teachers, the coaches, the mentors, and everyone who took a special interest in my success, I realize how important that support network is. I have decided that my life’s work beyond employment will be giving back to young people in underserved communities where the need is great, but the provisions are so limited, where “the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.” (Luke 10:2)
Thomas Hopson, CALIFORNIA
“I like to think of our own personal callings as specific expressions of the general mission of the body of Christ: to love God and love people (Mark 12:30-31). Even as I support a set of missionaries in different nations, I think we are all missionaries of God’s love among the unique people God has given us to reach. Alongside my central focus on giving resources, I’m learning how I can steward my story, especially with other young inheritors and women who live lifestyles of Gospel Patronage. I love to try to inspire people to see how joy, creativity, and community can flow from a generous mindset.”
Kate Gardner, TENNESSEE
“I want to bring glory to God by growing in my relationship with him and wisely stewarding the resources, challenges and opportunities he entrusts to me. My passion is to lead others to grow in their understanding and application of truth. The truth of the gospel is life changing and ought to touch every area of our lives. I desire that for those in my circle of influence so they can reach their potential for kingdom effectiveness to the glory of God.”
