Your Prayers Are Making A Difference!

I just returned from a trip to the Middle East and Arab Gulf region. I had the privilege of meeting with two of our graduates and their families. I saw them living far from home, far from the kids’ grandparents, far from another life they could have chosen. However, I saw them thriving in their […]

What I Said to Rick Segal

When Rick Segal was transitioning to his new post as Vice President for Advancement at Bethlehem College & Seminary, he made an appointment to see me.
