God speaks to me and all of us if we take the time to look through the author and know that it is inspired by God! In my doubt, God has confirmed His Word in this class! ”

The Bible classes I've taken have spurred me into a deep relationship with the Lord, further solidifying my calling into the missions field as a pilot. For me, this lifestyle wouldn't be possible without donors like you. May God bless you and draw you closer to Him.”

I haven't been this excited about how God is working since my youth group days…
“Without the help of Moody donors, I would not have been able to attend class this spring and start the program. I have had spiritual growth and great personal encouragement through the classes and people I have met. I am an adult learner (47 years old) and haven't been this excited about how God is working since my youth group days and look forward to seeing what He has planned for me. Thank you! ”

I have learned so much here and gained tools to help me continue to divide the Word rightly…
“Before coming to Moody, I prayed that I could better understand the Bible, so that my ministry would be true and effectual. Then the Spirit inspired me to attend Moody, and I was rewarded with an answer to my plea. I have learned so much here and gained tools to help me continue to divide the Word rightly, as I continue in ministry. God Bless Moody Institute and Thank You.”

The love of Christ has been shown through the actions of the Moody family…
“I have been an online student at Moody for 3 and a half years. While being a student at Moody, every semester I have faced major health challenges. I appreciate my professors walking alongside me and the other staff members because of their love for Jesus. John 13:35 states, “Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples” (NLT). The love of Christ has been shown through the actions of the Moody family. Thank you for being examples of Gods character.”

The professors at Moody make spiritual development such an central point of the curriculum…
“During my time at Moody, God has taught me much about the dangers of idolatry and the weight of our sinful and undeserving natures. It is easy to be distracted by academics and ministry, but the professors at Moody make spiritual development such an central point of the curriculum that one is hard pressed to not grow in their faith when attending here.”

I had the incredible opportunity to go to Israel during Spring Break and see the beautiful, broken holy land…
“The greatest highlight of my time here at Moody has been going to Study Abroad. I had the incredible opportunity to go to Israel during Spring Break and see the beautiful, broken holy land that Jesus and so many other Bible characters walked and lived in. I actually know where cities are. I know what the land looks like. It ranges from desert to city, to sea, to the greenest hills I've ever seen in my whole life! Scripture is never going to be the same again for me, and I wouldn't have been able to go while I'm still young if it wasn't for Moody Study Abroad.”

I praise God for everyone who continues to bless Moody…
“When the pandemic came upon us, my wife had a wonderful suggestion, 'Why don’t you go back to school and finish the degree you always wanted.' No words could possibly convey the depths of my gratitude for my time at Moody. I began my journey with four children and we now have six and the Lord continues to faithfully carry me every step of the way. The exceptional professors and fellow classmates, combined with unparalleled wisdom in the ways of the Lord, and the generosity of others, have all helped to make this season the best one yet. I praise God for everyone who continues to bless Moody to flourish for His glory!”

“God has worked in wonderful ways in my time here at Moody, as an international student I have the honor and privilege to be studying abroad doing a degree I love here at Moody, which I know would not have been possible without the grace and provision of God but also those who donate to MBI helping keep costs for students low and affordable. God has shown me that even through the struggles of finance that he is my helper in time of need, he is my comforter in time of need. So thank you to all that donate to MBI, I truly appreciate it!!”

There's a lot of aviators in my family and I now have a chance to honor them by carrying on their legacy…
“God took what was once a sad empty shell of a man and revived my soul. I used to be consumed with doubt and fear that I was the weak link in the family and that I would never amount to anything. He took that doubt and fear and gave me the hope and sense of purpose I desperately needed. There's a lot of aviators in my family and I now have a chance to honor them by carrying on their legacy. I can't think of a more meaningful career path than flying for people who do the Lord's work. He genuinely gives me joy and excitement just anticipating where He will send me. Since I feel the power of the Spirit dwelling within my heart I have no fear of the many dangers that await me. Just as Jesus lifted Peter out of the water when he sank, He lifts me out of my doubt and fear also.”

Thanks to the generosity of many who make it possible for leaders like me to be empowered for ministry…
“I have seen God at work in my life through the advancement of knowledge and skills that he as enabled me to acquire in pastoral ministry and leadership throughout my time at Moody. In addition to that, the invaluable friendships and ministry connections with faculty and students that God has enabled me to build has been one of the clearest signs of Him equipping and resourcing me for Kingdom impact beyond the classroom. God has also been working in my heart to clearly refine the Restore Africa Network Ministries’ vision that he has laid on my heart so much so that it is clearer now than when i first came to Moody. Thanks to the generosity of many Moody Alumni and friends who make it possible for leaders like me to be empowered for ministry through Moody Education experience. May God bless you always!”

Moody is an institute of caring, sharing, love and grace…
“I am elated to speak on behalf of Moody Bible Institute. I desire to tell the world that Moody Bible Institute is an establishment you would love to attend. It is an institute full of knowledge to share, with love and grace abound. After listening to Moody radio on 89.1 Forest, Mississippi, I decided I would like to attend Moody Bible Institute. It had been over twenty years since I attended a year of college in a trade program. Moody provided everything I needed to make this transition as simple and easy as possible. My instructors were awesome. If the funds become available, I will continue to take classes at Moody. Moody is an institute of caring, sharing, love and grace. Sincerely, Josette.”

God has been faithful in delivering me and loving me and supporting me…
“First, God put me in Moody Theological Seminary. It is such a privilege to study here and to be trained academically, to study God’s word, to be encouraged in faith and in ministries leadership development. This is where God has been equipping me to do. I don’t know what more God is using me for, but he is using me now to build a community at Moody and at my church. Secondly, God is growing my faith in different circumstances. Some of them are challenging and some of them are sad and hurtful, no matter what circumstances are, God has been faithful in delivering me and loving me and supporting me in my growth spiritually, emotionally, socially and academically.”

I have seen God‘s work in me during my time at Moody through my classes…
“I have seen God‘s work in me during my time at Moody through my classes. Last semester I took Spiritual Life in Community and that class gave me a few new tips for how to get more out of my personal Bible time. This semester I’m taking Hermeneutics where I’m learning how to interpret the Bible. I recently read, Jeremiah 17:7-8 'But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.' I was looking up at the stars and I was amazed by our great creator. I know that I can trust him.”

God finally revealed to me that I was good enough and that to him I am worthy…
“Since first applying to Moody God has revealed to me that I have been underestimating myself. I originally enrolled to earn a BS Theology in Cultural Engagement degree. I thought that doing mission work abroad was what God was asking of me. I figured that this field would help me to better engage with a wide range of people from different cultures. Deep down I actually felt led to do ministry. The only problem is that I didn't feel qualified. I didn't feel that I was worthy of doing ministry. After much praying and study of the scripture God finally revealed to me that I was good enough and that to him I am worthy. So, I changed my major to ministry leadership. One day I hope to do street ministry so I can share Christ with people who are going through the same trials that I once went through.”

Preservation of the word of God, the levels of teaching the word of God and the building of up of legacy tools for sharing the word of God are deeply developed at Moody. I'm excited about this education and want to share the program with leaders in my team building projects. The impact that one person can make for humanity is profound when care and compassion are expressed, thank you to all the partners who are helping raise funds towards tuition. God Bless You.”

It is a blessing to be equipped with Biblical teaching to serve the Church and the lost…
“God has grown me so much over my time at Moody! Being able to learn more about Him through the courses at Moody has further developed my faith and opened my eyes to see more of who God truly is, and not what I want Him to be. Some of my favorite classes so far have been Hermeneutics, Human Development, and Making and Leading Disciples. In each one, my faith was stretched and I have loved learning how to love God more and obey Him by better loving others. Through the highs and lows of life at Moody, the Lord has faithfully preserved me and brought people into my life to love and shepherd me. Thank you for making it possible for me to attend Moody Bible Institute. It is a blessing to be equipped with Biblical teaching to serve the Church and the lost.”

God has used this time to strengthen my faith…
“As I worked in MTS Student Council as an event coordinator, God has used this time to strengthen my faith. I've learned to acknowledge what I can control and what I can't. It becomes an opportunity for me to turn my concern into a conversation with God. Instead of following my plan and control everything to be what I want. This role teach me to seek what God wants and let Him take the lead. I prayed that God will bring the exact people that needs to be at the event to the event. In testimony night event, I prayed that every story that needed to be told, be told. I let God be my schedule and agenda. Each event becomes an exercise to loose a need to control and let God take control.”

I also now have at my fingertips a great number of resources to keep in my files and help me along in my seminary journey.

My time at Moody thus far has been short but the fruit of it will last forever!
“I have seen God's hand woven through my entire time here at Moody. From the first phone conversation with the advisor in helping me choose the right program, to the reading and written assignments in class that by no coincidence align with what God is speaking to me in my personal life. The hand of God has been revealed as I have learned the why's behind the beliefs of my life-long faith and learned to how to know the Bible within its own context. My time at Moody thus far has been short but the fruit of it will last forever! I can sincerely say that the training I've received at Moody is better equpping me to do the work God has set before me, and I could not be more grateful!”

I would not be at Moody if God did not provide so bountifully through the donors…
“It is amazing to me how each class that I take, whether directly related to God's word or not specifically related, teaches me so much about God and his character. I have loved every class I have been able to take, as the information I am given is of eternal importance. I can see that this education is equipping me to serve and love others well in work and in ministry, but also that God is using it to change me deeply and draw me nearer to him every hour that I am here. I am so thankful for those who donate to pay for my education here. I would not be at Moody if God did not provide so bountifully through the donors, and I am amazed by the obedience and trust they have that the money will go towards helping others serve the Lord.”

Little did I know choosing to share my testimony would impact and encourage so many lives…
“I just got back from our Spring tour to Indiana and Michigan with Moody Chorale. Over our tour, I had the privilege of sharing my testimony with several churches. Public speaking terrifies me but I trusted God that He would help guide me in this challenge. Little did I know choosing to share my testimony would impact and encourage so many lives. God clearly not only worked through me though but also many of the other students that were a part of the tour. There were several of us that shared our testimonies. I also head from many of how the music encouraged them and spoke to them. It was so encouraging. This is only one of many ways God has been working in my life since I’ve been at Moody.”

I pray that such benevolence will be afforded to other deserving students in the future…
“During my Moody tenure, I've developed theologically and spiritually. My professors' tutelage has benefitted me as a Christian and clergyman. I'm grateful for the opportunity to have gained a theological education, and I appreciate the benefactors who've made it possible. The scholarships that I received helped to minimize my out-of-pocket expense, thus allowing me to focus on my studies with peace of mind (I earned a 3.8 GPA). I pray that such benevolence will be afforded to other deserving students in the future. I plan to contribute on Giving Day 2023 and hope you will consider doing so as well.

“I have seen God work through people here at Moody. I have been in times of doubt and confusion in my faith here at Moody, and the one consistent thing I have seen God work through is people. My professors speak life into my classmates and I through their lectures that is being given my friends encourage me and are there for me to talk to in times of trouble. The life group executive team I am a part of that inspires me and helps remind me of the truth of who God is. My floormates who offer up wisdom and humor in time of need as well as in the monotony of everday life. My PCM where I work with children in the church who are difficult and wonderful to work with. I have seen people work in others lives to bring them closer to God and teach them new things here at Moody. I am truly blessed to be here and experience all the Moody has to offer.”

I had the wonderful opportunity to go to a remote school in the Himalayas and help lead a creative workshop for them…
“It’s been such a blessed time to be a part of Moody Aviation. I’ve been able to grow more in my Knowledge of God and have a closer relationship with him. I’ve been really benefited by the classes at Moody, it helps me understand the scriptures better and has given me a better ability to deal with my conflicts. It has also helped me open to people and has helped me share God’s word to people. I feel my time here at Moody would be a fruitful time where I get to serve the people in need. I had the wonderful opportunity to go to a remote school in the Himalayas and help lead a creative workshop for them. The school is run by a missionary family and their goal is to provide quality education in some of the remotest parts where education is not as accessible. At the same time, I was also able to share the gospel with the students. I pray that God would use me in many ways for the advancement of His Kingdom.”

I have seen God work more in the last year of my life than in the rest of my whole life…
“There is way too much to talk about in just 200 words. I have seen God work more in the last year of my life than in the rest of my whole life. God made a miracle happen for me to come to Moody. A lot of bad things happened this year: my mom got hit by a car and is still in physical therapy, my brothers were in a school shooting, I got hit by a car on my skateboard, and the most impactful thing... My healthy Father passed away in December 2022 during my exam week (age 42), leaving behind my mother and us 4 siblings between ages 11 and 19. This spring semester has been difficult, to say the least. Despite all that has happened to me, God has made his presence in my life very clear. Since December, there have been 8 kids saved in our youth group. God has allowed me to share the gospel every week with people who are "randomly" placed in my life. Without God working through Moody, my life would not be the same. Thank you to all at Moody and elsewhere who have been praying for us. It's the most effective thing that you can do.”

Moody has equipped me with how to bring the love of Christ to everyone I come in contact with…
“Hello! I am a senior in the Elementary Education program at Moody Bible Institute and am currently serving in the Dominican Republic for my student teaching practicum. It wasn't until after being off campus and in the missions field that I came to truly understand the significance of the education and spiritual formation I received at Moody. At Moody, I learned more than I ever could imagine about God, theology, and the Bible. But the most important thing that Moody has equipped me with is how to bring the love of Christ to everyone I come in contact with. As a student teacher, I have been able to teach my students about God and the Bible, but I also get to be the light and love of Christ to them. It has been beautiful to see how much they have grown to know the Lord through the classes that are taught through a biblical perspective, and the conversations we have about the Lord. By having this modeled to me at Moody by professors and friends I am encouraged and reminded that Christ will work through me for the good of my students. So thank you for your sincere generosity which has enabled me to step into the call God has placed on my life.”

Coming to Moody has been a dream come true for me…
“Coming to Moody has been a dream come true for me growing up in Chicago. I am a prodigal son of some sort, growing up in the evangelical church of Melrose Park IL. I left the church at a young age of fourteen got heavily involved in Chicago street gangs for many years. I moved up the ranks quickly and got into leardership positions using the gifts God gave me for evil. Long story short, I had a supernatural encounter sixteen years ago and within twenty-four hours decided I needed to serve the Lord. Since then, I went back to the church I grew up in and began attending mes's studies and prayer groups. By God's grace I began to start teaching the Bible to high school students and over time became the youth pastor at my church. Since then I have wanted to sharpen my skills and become better at the calling the Lord has put on my life. Moody has given me the opportunity to do that with fantastic teachers and staff and just recently God has made another dream of mine come true by visiting the Holy Land of Israel through the study abroad student course. I consider myself very blessed an honored to be studying at Moody and one day becoming a Senior Pastor to shepherd hard a flock. Thank You to MBI and it's staff for your amazing accomplishment of keeping this school running and moving forward.”

Moody was exactly where I needed to be to survive this catastrophe…
“I am currently a freshman at Moody Bible Institute, and during my first semester, my father was brutally murdered. It was beyond my understanding, and beyond my ability to even process. It was truly crippling. The only thing that brought me through my grief, was the miraculous mercy and healing of the Lord. Moody was exactly where I needed to be to survive this catastrophe. Because of my community and the immersive experience of living out faith alongside of other strong Christians at Moody, my life was changed. I grew in the Lord throughout that season of life, experienced the love of professors and students pouring into me, and I even experienced the physical healing of the Holy Spirit inside of Torrey Grey auditorium during worship. The Lord has taught me so much through these circumstances and through my professors, I wish that all could experience the intimacy in the Lord through when attending a bible school like Moody. I’m so thankful for the men on my floor and the women on my sister floor, when I leave Moody I was share the same thing I experienced here with people around the world. I desire to leave Moody being equipped to fulfill full-time ministry in whatever field the Lord places me in. Submission and Sacrifice is the theme of my life right now, and I look forward to my coming years here at Moody.”

In just a few months of being a student at Moody, I founded Mount-Up Aviation Club in Nigeria…
“I am a Nigerian who never knew Moody existed until 2020 when I received a call into missionary aviation in a mountainous region in the northern part of my country. I spent six months researching missionary aviation, and among the schools I found, Moody stood out with great promises. Since starting classes in August 2022, Moody has not only lived up to its promises, but it has also exceeded my expectations. I have grown in my walk with the Lord, and many of the academic resources used at Moody are unprecedented in my educational journey. Amazingly, in just a few months of being a student at Moody, I founded Mount-Up Aviation Club in Nigeria, a global aviation club with charter members from the USA, Tanzania, Indonesia, Nigeria, and South Africa. The club continues to have significant impacts on students of aviation and many believers in other fields. This affirms that Moody is a place where visions are birthed. I am currently in my second semester, and my life has been greatly impacted. In the first semester, Moody gave me the highest amount I have ever received in my life as a scholarship. I would have dropped out of school if not for that generous donation, as my family could not afford the educational costs. Supporting Moody is significant as it contributes to my journey and that of other students. The generosity of Moody's donors enables us to pursue our calling, make a positive impact in the world, and birth new visions that are changing industries. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from seasoned instructors at Moody and look forward to a fulfilled ministry. Thank you!”

God is remaking me every day…
“Lead like Jesus, love like Jesus, forgive like Jesus, have a passion like Jesus, have faith like Jesus, and well a million other things. Jesus was the greatest person of all these things and still is. It didn't always make him happy or wanted by people, which is what most people want in life. I will always lose people, I won't ever be loved by everyone or even liked. but being okay with that was the first step I had to take to look more like Jesus. It won't get easier, whether it's losing a family member because you don’t agree with the way they are making choices, forgiving a brother who abused you most of your life, forgiving yourself for not stopping it, or a big one to choose God over yourself. The biggest step I am taking this year to look more like Jesus is to stop hurrying through life. Jesus was so self-disciplined in everything he did. He took so much time to pray and be in solitude with God, Jesus was at peace, He knew he would be okay no matter how many people would persecute him. He was confident in who he was and to whom he belonged to. So if I had to say the biggest thing I have learned in life would be that I am a loved child of God. I am so weak and broken without him by my side. I am not strong, not without God. I don't have to be afraid of the future or my past because I have confidence in him and who he is. I want to give Him all of me, including my weaknesses. God is remaking me every day. I will never be perfect with that and I have learned to be okay with that. My relationship with Him is growing. My fears and my trials can be a gift from God because they can test my faith and see how I love God even in the hardest of times. These times when temptation taunts me and the enemies lurk in my mind, will I turn to God. Trials will sometimes break me and I think that’s okay because I know my faith in God will remake me. I have learned God is good in everything.”
