The following information was sent to me on Thursday, May 2, in response to my inquiry to find out how much has been given since the appeal I made following the two letters sent to me from Bishop Randell Drake in April. He responded immediately. I ask you to read this list and prayerfully consider what God will have you give to keep our university alive and to thrive in the education the students will receive from Spirit-filled teachers.
Dear Dr. Morgan,
Greetings.
We are working on the following items for Southwestern Christian University:
1. The Board of Trustees has voted to proceed forward with School Year 2024-25
2. We are still in need of funding. About $100,000 has been raised in hand with about $150,000 pledged (some stipulated the donation would only be given if SCU remained open.)
3. We need to complete the $370,000 Fundraising effort for the summer to begin the school year in August
4. A decision was made to interview for an Interim President who would lead in the fundraising efforts and assist with the restructuring of the university
5. We are making final decisions on the 2024-25 budget, making necessary adjustments to personnel, salaries, block tuition, room & board, insurance, etc. This should be in place by the end of May.
6. We are grateful for those who have contributed already and for those who will prayerfully consider being a donor for SCU.
Blessings to you and your readers,
Bishop Randell O. Drake
Chairman, SCU Board of Trustees
