It was a God-sized goal.<\/strong> Over the past several months, hundreds of people have stepped forward to support an affirmation of NCU\u2019s mission and former President Gordon Anderson\u2019s service to the school with gifts to the Acts 13 Scholarship<\/a>\u2014for the next generation of Spirit-empowered leaders<\/em>. We\u2019re pleased to announce that $1 million was raised for this initiative.<\/p>\n

When Anderson announced his retirement, many who knew him well realized that the best parting gift would be something that would advance the cause of NCU students. So the Acts 13 Scholarship was launched in summer 2016 with the ambitious $ 1 million goal for student scholarships and NCU\u2019s long-term endowment. Raising this amount in less than one year was more than double the typical annual fundraising goal; it is a testimony to the support of the extended NCU family and God\u2019s gracious provision.<\/p>\n

North Central students are the ones who benefit greatly from the generous giving that made Acts 13 success possible.<\/h6>\n

Yannin Dominguez<\/a> is studying business. She\u2019s excited about her future and believes that North Central is the perfect place to prepare for it. \u201cComing to North Central has allowed me to believe that no matter what I do, I can make an impact,\u201d Dominguez said. \u201cMy professors pour into my mind with hearts of leadership and with hearts of pastors and shepherds.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saorsa Enget plans to serve as a missionary in Asia one day. Her Spirit-empowered education is fueled by daily time in chapel. \u201cIt\u2019s every day, and the center of our day is spending time with God,\u201d Enget explained, noting that the worship and speakers \u201ckeep us awake and alive for Jesus!\u201d<\/p>\n

Special thanks goes to all who contributed to the Acts 13 Scholarship. We couldn\u2019t have done it without you!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
