A SCHOLARSHIP FUND FOR STUDENTS AT NSA To those who graciously give to many of us at New Saint Andrews, There really isn’t a proper way to say thank you. You made NSA possible for me. Coming from a pastor’s family who had already put their older kids through expensive colleges, and who faced heavy medical expenses and the loss of my mom, we really needed you. I want you to know that God used your gracious generosity to invaluably bless my faith and my family (in many ways I don’t even know or understand right now), and my children (Lord willing) in years to come--because I got to live in this community and go to NSA. I am truly in awe at God’s work in bringing and keeping me here to NSA and Moscow. Thank you so much. God loves and abundantly rewards generosity and gospel-love to those in need. Thank you! Brianna Bratrud OUR STUDENTS DEPEND ON GIFTS LIKE YOURS TO FUND NSA SCHOLARSHIPS To protect our religious and aca- demic integrity, NSA accepts no (that’s right—zero) government funding to pay for the top-notch education our students receive. This means that we rely on private donations to provide scholarships to our students. Rather than ask- ing for large scholarship dona- tions from a few individuals, the Reservoir Fund is a grass-roots en- deavor to fill our students’ schol- arship needs through the modest donations of folks just like you. YOUR SMALL MONTHLY GIFT COULD MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE TO OUR SCHOLARSHIP FUND. Several recent graduates committed to donating each month, and their generosity has already funded one student’s scholarship. Please take a moment to consider giving to our monthly scholarship campaign. Spread the word! SPRING 2017 23
