 I'm Deb Coates, and I am a Masters of Divinity Connect student at AMBS. I live in Brush Prairie, Washington, and I attend Portland Mennonite Church in Portland, Oregon. And it's there that I serve on the leadership table, and I'm the Worship Elder. And I'm Dave Johnson. I'm also a Masters of Divinity Connect student at AMBS, and I live in the Rockwood neighborhood of Portland, Oregon. I'm also the Chair-Elect on the leadership table at Portland Mennonite Church. I have needed AMBS and seminary because it's helped me understand truly that I have a place. I have a place in God's greater story. And it has helped me look inside myself and understand and connect more clearly with the spirit within. And I have found that to be a wonderful surprise. I can't imagine being on the leadership table right now at PMC and not being also in seminary AMBS. Like those two things feed into each other in a way that it's just been really, really, has been essential for me to provide the kind of leadership that is being asked of me right now. Please consider giving today. Anything you give today through December 1st will be matched up to $50,000. Thank you for the support of AMBS. Thank you. Rooted in the Word. Growing in Christ.
