"My
educational experience at SAGU was one that will benefit me the rest of
my life. SAGU helped me establish a strong foundation for ministry through
its tremendous biblical training and the opportunity to be involved in
hands on ministry."
Dyran Deer, Master's Commission Director, Crossroads of Life, Duncanville, TX , 1999, Pastoral Ministries
"Southwestern
gave me the opportunity to focus and learn the specific calling God placed
on my life. I gained a great balance between academic excellence and spiritual
formation, which prepared me to enter Graduate School. During my time
at SAGU, and with the encouragement of Dr. Carmen, I learned how to believe
in myself and the abilities God has given me - giving me the courage to
pursue my doctoral degree."
Kara Ophus, Student Psy. D, Regent University, 2000, Counseling Psychology
"I'm
thankful for Southwestern. The training I received from this institution
has been immeasurably valuable to me in what God has called me to do.
I don't consider the professors to be merely educators, they are mentors.
Some of my most "educational" moments took place outside of
the classroom, just talking to the faculty in a casual setting. Going
into full-time ministry demanded that I get credible, relevant training;
and Southwestern provided me with that."
DeWayne Adcock, Music Minister, 1st A/G, West Memphis AR, 1999, Vocal Performance
"As
the children's pastor at Calvary Church at the Fountains in Stafford Texas,
I have found that my degree in elementary education has helped me tremendously
in my current position, primarily with management in the classroom, and
secondarily with all of the Sunday School work!!! The children's ministry
classes that I took really helped me understand the importance of this
ministry. I am also able to go to schools easily as a substitute teacher
or volunteer because I have a teaching certificate. My degree in elementary
education not only provided me with the opportunity to teach, but also
the training I needed to be an effective Children's Pastor."
Kendra Davis, Children's Pastor, Calvary Church, Stafford, TX, 1999, Elementary Education
"Southwestern
Assemblies of God University was a part of my life for four years. I entered
as an elementary education major and thankfully finished the same. I am
currently teaching in the public school system of Waxahachie, Texas. SAGU
taught me the importance of everything being a ministry, even if it's
not in the traditional definition of the word. I come into contact with
students and adults from many different backgrounds. The training I received
from Southwestern laid the foundation of seeing beyond behavior, appearance,
and social standing to the hearts that are in need of 'Jesus with skin
on.'"
Portia L. Butler, Teacher, Waxahachie ISD, 2000, Elementary Education
"Having
a business degree from Southwestern has opened many doors. But most of
all, it has taught me how to be a businessman with integrity. As a financial
planner for Edward Jones Investments, having integrity is key."
Anson Sobers, Financial Planner, Edward Jones Investments, 2001, Business
