Seminary Ministry

Here are some encouraging words from those that were blessed by the Seminary Shopping Spree:

"It really means a lot to everyone that you guys care so much. When I watched the DVD It was very moving emotionally to hear your pastor's message. You see we have made many sacrifices to follow God's path for our lives, and to see that someone else cared so deeply about that really means a lot. I was very encouraged by the event and cannot thank you enough for having it."
In Christ's Service,
Jonathan Sharp


"I am ecstatic! What a wonderful and sacrificial investment of the caring congregation at FBC Euless! What vision and commitment to meeting needs! Words just don’t say thank you enough from me!"
-Dorothy Patterson

"I wanted to say thank you for all the time y'all put into making Saturday such a blessing. I am thankful for the coffee table I was able to bring home to my apartment! I hope that this event was a blessing to everyone who gave time and items to make it successful! Thank you again!"
-Kelly Jones

"I wanted to take a few minutes and just thank you for the way you brought God's glory Saturday morning. We have witnessed first hand accounts of God working in so many ways that we would have otherwise missed. And I'm telling you, brother, one of those accounts took place Saturday. When we decided to attend the event at Euless, we really didn't know what to expect. God revealed Himself to her in a huge way!! I talked to Ralph, the guy who won the basket of goodies. When we first met him, He had just moved here from Germany, didn't have a car at the time, and seemed to really be having a hard time. When I talked him on the way out Saturday, he was just beaming with excitement over having won something. And finally, talking to a guy in my class who told me about a student whose washing machine just went on the blink last week... the student was there and he now has a washing machine! I can tell you personally that we all came away with a heightened awareness of the importance of showing love."
In Christ alone,

"I wanted to thank the church for all of the donations given at the Seminary giveaway this past Saturday and everyone who was involved with it. We are very appreciative of your thoughts, prayers, and support as we study here at Southwestern. The donations were a large blessing to us! Thank you!"
Love in Christ,
Mandy Alexander


"We are in our first term at Southwestern and are seeing day by day God's faithfulness to provide for our family. We have two children in college and a high schooler at home and are trying to go to school fulltime. So it was a great gift to us to receive a much-needed bookcase and get some of our books off the floor and out of boxes! We are so grateful that your church has a heart to encourage seminary students. Some of our friends were able to take home a bedframe, mattress and boxsprings so they now can have their parents visit! We were so impressed that First Euliss had thought of so many of the extra details to be helpful: the beds came with new sheets, pillows, even mattress pads, the new minivan had had the taxes prepaid on them, laundry and cleaning supplies were provided--all the stuff of everyday life that can be quite burdensome to families on a small income. Please thank your members for surrendering their time, their possessions, their hearts for God to use them to build up families like ours. We thank God for you and ask His blessing on your church and the community in which you minister."
In His love,
Hubert and Shawndee Edenfield
