What better way to start off the new year than by reflecting on all the Lord did in the last? Through YOUR donations and God’s faithful provision, 2016 was a fruitful year of growth for SGU.
“I often looked at the pictures of Fiona and Sarah, hanging in my office; I’d smile and throw up a prayer for them. I would pray for them every morning, for all of SGU.

We were able to see the planes and learn about the science and the history that goes into the Aviation Academy. Quite a few of our students want to be pilots so this was an extremely exciting trip for us!

Instantly my stomach dropped as I felt that queasy nauseating feeling you get when you are suspended in air on a roller coaster and you don’t know when it will stop. I decided to write right after reading this email.
