Help Manny finish his degree in Germany

You may know that I began my Masters of Divinity degree at Beeson Divinity School (Samford University) in Birmingham, AL during the pandemic. I'm now nearly finished with my degree and set to graduate in December of this year. Before I graduate, however, I must travel abroad to experience Christianity in a cross-cultural context. Beeson has partnered with several individuals and organizations to accomplish this goal, and I have the pleasure of learning from a church plant in Berlin, Germany. I will learn about house churches in post-Christian Europe and have the opportunity to visit State-sponsored and Free churches. I will also learn from parachurch organizations that seek to help women in prostitution. During my unscheduled time, I hope to travel to several sites of German Christian significance—Wittenberg, where Martin Luther ministered, for example.

I am excited to have this opportunity to learn from the past and from the present, and I pray that my experience helps prepare me for further ministry.

I will be gone for a little over 2 weeks, but the expenses for my trip are primarily out-of-pocket.

When I return, I will have a few more classes this fall, but come December, Beeson will confer a Master of Divinity degree upon me.

Will you help me as I round the final bend in my graduate education, jump the last few hurdles, and sprint toward the finish line? It's the cheers and support of so many of you already that have ushered me into this education and life path for so long. I would be honored by your continued encouragement.
