My name is Noah Richards. After I graduate High School in June, I plan on attending Bodenseehof Bible School in Friedrichshafen, Germany.  


While in high school, I played basketball, both on my school team and on a traveling club team. Receiving a college scholarship for basketball has been a possibility these last few years. However, as I considered my post-high school plans, I felt the Lord had a different plan for my life than continuing to pursue basketball. I had been interested in attending Bodenseehof since I first heard about the school from my brother-in-law, Philip, who attended Bodenseehof in 2010-2011. As graduation approached, it became clear that I should choose to attend Bodenseehof the following year and focus on learning about my Savior Jesus Christ in a life-changing, transforming and radical way. I am excited to be immersed in biblical teaching while working out my faith in a Christ-centered counter-cultural community. 


I have been working at Trader Joe's since I was 16 and have been saving money, but this incredible opportunity at Bodenseehof is expensive. In lieu of any graduation gifts, I would appreciate your consideration in helping financially. The total tuition is $8,177. The airfare to and from Germany will be around $2,000. Therefore I am trying to raise $10,000.
