I would be extremely grateful if you would prayerfully consider partnering with me in my goal of serving the Church through my academic ministry. At this point in my program, I have completed all my coursework and am slugging my way through my dissertation, which is about 3/4 completed. My area of focus is gender and sexuality in the New Testament, and I will be publishing a book on the subject of LGBT and Christian identity and sanctification with Zondervan next year.

But this is where I need your help. As you might imagine, it is extraordinarily difficult to focus enough time and energy on this goal while also working a full-time job (or in our case, several part-time jobs strung together...) to pay the bills so we can get through this phase of graduate school. Would you prayerfully consider supporting us through a one-time gift that will go directly toward our tuition and living expenses for this last phase of my PhD program?
