This void led him to feel stuck, yearning for a deeper understanding of Scripture and pastoral practice.</p> <p> Morgan&rsquo;s journey took a significant turn when he was introduced to the Master of Arts in Pastoral Ministry program offered by the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary at Andrews University. &ldquo;I didn't want to leave ministry. I wanted something practical. I wanted to learn more,&rdquo; he explains. Encouraged by glowing reviews from acquaintances, he embarked on an educational odyssey, driven by a thirst for spiritual enrichment and practical ministry tools.</p> <p> His experience within the program has been nothing short of a divine blessing. Morgan highlights the program&rsquo;s unique approach, which not only delves into the theoretical aspects of Scripture and pastoral care but also provides practical training. &ldquo;It gives you hands-on practical understanding of how to work with people, how to apply our doctrines in a very appealing and practical way,&rdquo; he shares.</p> <p> &lt;&lt;&lt; Read the full story at the Lake Union Herald <a href="https://www.lakeunionherald.org/archive/articles/from-secular-education-to-spiritual-enrichment">site</a> &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;</p> Thu, 30 May 2024 15:16:13 +0000 http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/65275 <p> Growing up in Russia in a missionary family and as a daughter of a Seventh-day Adventist pastor, Sofiia Ialysheva always dreamed of attending an Adventist university.</p> <p> After living in the Philippines for five years, that dream expanded to finding an Adventist university in the U.S. When the time came, she applied and was accepted to Andrews University to study business administration with an emphasis in finance.</p> <p> Although she enjoyed her classes and the friendships she made, Ialysheva struggled to decide what she might do after graduation. Talking to friends who were upperclassmen, she heard about the AdventHealth internship program. &ldquo;One of my friends had just completed an internship at AdventHealth in Chicago,&rdquo; said Ialysheva. &ldquo;Seeing her photos and hearing her experience, it seemed like she had the best time ever.&rdquo;</p> <p> Propelled by the positive experience of her friends, she applied to the internship program when AdventHealth representatives came to visit. In hearing the representatives speak about the organization, Ialysheva felt a connection to what they shared.</p> <p> &lt;&lt;&lt; Read the full story at the Lake Union Herald <a href="https://www.lakeunionherald.org/archive/articles/seek-god-first">site</a> &gt;&gt;&gt;</p> Thu, 30 May 2024 15:15:29 +0000
