I cannot imagine the joy the disciples experienced in Acts 4:32-35; in recent months, I experienced a glimpse. Last August I wrote “Blessing Multitudes through Scholarships” to share the process and challenges the scholarship board faces when electing students. I asked those interested in investing in students to please contact me.

Today is a great pleasure and honor to thank the Sosa Family. They immediately called me to learn how they could support more students after publishing that article. They already had a scholarship but wanted to make it available to more students throughout the annual conference. Due to the generosity of the Sosa family, one more scholarship is open to students who are going to college or a trade school. Mrs. Sonia Sosa—Member of Emanuel UMC Austin—mentioned that many of her family members were plumbers and electricians. A good way to honor their gifts and labor is to help students reach their dreams.

I celebrate the Sosa family's generosity and invite students to apply for the 2025 Scholarship Nomination application. For more details, please go to the application, fill it out, and submit it before the April 1 due date. I encourage you to pray for students and invest in them.
