GRANTS CASE STUDY: MILES TRADEWELL
In this edition of Ichthus we hear from an
upcoming minister Miles who received a grant
from LWPT this year. Hear from Miles the
impact the grant has had on his life.
Thank you so much for supporting me
financially during this academic year. Receiving
confirmation that I had been awarded a
grant was hugely significant for me. It really
encouraged me to keep pursuing further study.
Practically speaking, this would not have been
a realistic option for me at this stage without your grant. That is why I’m so
grateful for your generous support.
I have now completed the first semester of a Masters of Letters (MLitt) in
“Bible and the Contemporary World” at the University of St Andrews. So
far, the course has been extremely beneficial to me and has influenced my
preaching and teaching in all kinds of ways. The main focus of the first
module was the book of Revelation, which was stretching and inspiring in
equal measure!
However, I’m very excited about starting back in September, when we’ll be
focusing on Theology and the Arts. I’m hoping to explore the way that poetry,
narrative and storytelling can play a part in preaching and teaching. The
artistry of homiletics has been an interest of mine for a number of years and
I’m looking forward to delving into this theme further.
Shenara takes care of our growing Membership
base and is responsible for managing and growing
the scheme and ensuring members receive the
upmost level of care and support. From January 2019 I’ll be focusing on my dissertation. In fact, I found the
first semester so engaging that I’m seriously considering taking a deeper dive
into one of the themes from the book of Revelation for my thesis. My current
grade average is at distinction level (which has been a pleasant surprise!) and
I hope to continue at this standard through to the end of my studies.
Shenara is the main point of contact for LWPT members, so if you have any
queries at all, please don’t hestitate to call Shenara on 01923231811 or email her
at [email protected]. Please note Shenara works Mondays and
Tuesdays only. Again, thank you so much for your kind support. Taking up the opportunity
to study this year really has felt like God’s timing and your grant has been
instrumental in making it happen. §
