The Alex Steddom International Student Fund was originally conceived to support the financial needs of as many as four seminarians annually from theologically famished regions of the world at our Minneapolis campus.

We have entered a new phase of this endeavor. A sufficient number of prior years’ grantees have now returned or plan to return to their home countries soon such that the fund’s future use will support Bethlehem Seminary education in-country.

A larger portion of generous gifts will now go directly to the instruction of more students, on the ground, where they live, activating immediate gospel ministry where it’s needed, without gifts being diluted by the substantial expenses of international travel and U.S. costs-of-living.

“Taking this Big God theology that we highly treasure to India is also key to countering the false hope offered by the prosperity gospel. A concerted effort toward developing reformed theological education in India is a dream, which, in God’s time, will slowly shape into a vision as it is prayed for and supported.”

Bethlehem College and Seminary is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit institution. Contributions are tax-deductible. The Alex Steddom International Student Fund is a temporarily restricted fund that permits Bethlehem College and Seminary to borrow from it for other purposes, if necessary, at a market rate of interest.
