Golf-a-thon 2006 - Student Testimonies “To have received this gift of money has truly meant a great deal. I have been blessed with a wonderful job this semester, but to be completely honest, this scholarship really grabbed my heart. I am extremely grateful for the work and effort you have put into the Golf-a-thon. The time spent putting the event together has proved itself worthy. God has once again astounded me with His gracious providing. I am thankful for your generosity and concern for the students here at BBC&S.” Cassie Setter, a senior in the Pre-Counseling program from Eastpointe, MI “I am extremely grateful to have received the Golf-a-thon scholarship! I have spent a lot of time praying this year, and it’s amazing to see God answering in this manner. I’m extremely excited to see where God will lead me and in what capacity I will be able to serve Him! Thank you for your generosity and love for the Lord and college students. It has been an awesome encouragement to me!” Stacie Grafton, a sophomore in the Health & Physical Education (K-12) program from Valparaiso, IN “I was so overwhelmed when receiving my scholarship. I am eternally grateful for how you have allowed God to use you to bless me. Receiving the Golf-a-thon scholarship is such an encouragement to me. Anytime I start to doubt that I am supposed to be at BBC, God gives me a special reminder of His sovereignty. He does answer prayer, and He does provide. Thank you so much for all you’ve done—I will continue to study here at BBC and serve in His name. May God bless you! Many thanks.” Julia Kreider, a freshman in the Communication Ministries: Drama program from Liberty, KY “I want to express to you how truly grateful I am to have received the Golf-a-thon Scholarship.

“It was such a tremendous help to me to receive a scholarship from the Golf-a-thon. My parents are missionaries in Portugal, and they can’t really afford to help me with my college bill. I will be graduating this year and would like to go back to the mission field some day. This award will help me get back there more quickly since I won’t have to work as much to pay off my school bill. My future goals are to work in a church office or Christian school, and eventually serve on a global mission field. My ministry at BBC this year is singing in the BBC Concert Chorale. We
travel to churches on some weekends and go on a week-long spring
tour to minister in different parts of the country.” 
“Receiving an award from the Golf-a-thon is one way the Lord is supplying what I need to live out His plan for my life. Without help like this, it would be impossible to attend college and meet the needs of my family. I’m looking forward to serving God with my family in global youth ministry.”
“Toward the end of my freshman year I was discouraged with working so much and yet still facing the possibility of not being able to come back to BBC next fall because of my school bill. When I received the award, it was a huge encouragement to me and an affirmation from God that this is where He wants me! After I graduate, I want to serve God by working with teens in camp ministries.”
