"What better place to be apart of than a place that values your spiritual life. One of my favorite things about Nelson is their emphasis on the importance of worship and being led by the Spirit."
“I have learned that missions is not about what you do so much as it’s about who you are. We are all on mission by God to share His love to a world that needs it. This school showed me that mission can be in my backyard or 9,000 miles away. The important thing is that our words and lives are an active reflection of the heart of God for others.”
“The business department taught me how to build relationships and network. I consistently catch up with my professors, and ask for advice on how I can progress in not only my career, but also as a Christian in the work place.”
