How can my gift go further?

With a little creativity and effort, your gift can go further than you may have thought possible!

  • Create a Scholarship

    • Every April, ABC celebrates the grace of God in an Awards Chapel. Over thirty students are surprised with scholarships that answer their prayers, build their faith, and allow them to continue ministry training the next year. The problem is that there are more worthy students than there are scholarships.

    • Fill out the form below if you are interested in creating a scholarship with ABC and we will contact you with further information.

Meaghan
The Lord’s provision was a lesson I learned from a very young age, but this lesson was going to be put to the test as I embarked on my college journey. As an international student there are many unknowns; one of the greatest unknowns for me was finances. I was starting college with the knowledge that I would have to trust God for every last penny. The Lord has provided through many different ways, the biggest being scholarships through people giving to ABC! I am so thankful for the Lord's provision through people I have never met. It is amazing how he works through so many different people!

-Meaghan, 2020 Scholarship Recipient

Kevin Gullion
Over the course of my service at ABC, I have been able to personally witness the generosity of God’s people and am blessed and humbled by their faithful giving. I have also felt a sense of connection as I communicate about what God is doing here on campus and as I sometimes receive prayer requests and praises in return! Whether from a church or an individual, large or small, each donation makes a difference.

-Kevin Gullion, ABF missionary since 2015

Zach
Receiving the scholarship during chapel was a massive blessing to me! Going into my junior year, I was unsure of how I would provide the funds for my college tuition; however, God reassured me early on that He would make a path for me to return to ABC, if it was in His will.

-Zach, 2019 Scholarship Recipient

Karisa Clark
Our ministry's supporters provide a continual reminder to me: this is God's work! He provides for it and he brings fruit from it. I truly look forward to the day when we gather in his presence and rejoice together over the harvest, like John 4:36 says. Thank you to everyone who gives generously!

-Karisa Clark, ABF missionary since 2015

Dave Holloway
We are sincerely grateful for the many donors that have partnered with us and our mission of impacting lives for the glory of God through camp ministry. The impact of donations has been instrumental for Alpine Ministries to provide the best experience for our campers in adventure recreation. Alpine through the years has literally seen hundreds of young people come to Christ. What better way to invest in the next generation as your donated dollars return eternal benefits?
