The Growing Edge Spring 2022

Blessed to Bless Others The Crandall University community is a special place to us. I know that sounds cliché, but it’s true and here’s why. It’s where we met and developed meaningful friendships with faculty, staff and fellow students that continue to this day. Crandall University values people on their academic journey and unites people over generations. What an impact! We’ve always been impressed with the faculty’s willingness to support students beyond important academic work. Because we’ve been cared for means that we need to care-forward. We never make progress without the help of others. We’re deceived if we believe we succeed all on our own. We remember the early days of studying and working part-time/full-time jobs to keep costs as low as possible. I personally remember the surprise of receiving a bursary, and that made a big difference for me. Juggling academic and work lives was challenging; however, it helped us to develop a strong work ethic that has helped us to find success. I’m so thankful that Crandall saw me and supported me through bursaries to lighten my financial burden so that I could focus on my studies.

We firmly believe that we are blessed to bless others and so that’s why we’ve decided to give back. The Trevor and Wanda Jones Scholarship Fund is “endowed in the spirit of someone who shows great initiative to contribute to a positive learning and working environment. It shall be granted to a student in their second year or higher of study and who is enrolled in full-time studies within the Business or Education faculties.” It is a joy to cheer students on as they continue their academic work! – Wanda Jones

THANK YOU

Douglas, NB | Cameroon, Africa Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies Bachelor of Theology As the daughter of missionaries, I grew up surrounded by amazing Christian leaders. Through years of watching the dedication of these people and seeing the impact that God’s Word can have on entire communities, God laid it on my heart to pursue cross-cultural mission work. I have a deep desire to serve God and my neighbors with the resources that God has given me. I have plans to return to Cameroon shortly after graduation to do Scripture Engagement work. Thank you sincerely for your investment in God’s Kingdom!
