HELM awards second batch of Ministerial Student Grants
Three M.Div. students have received Ministerial Student Grants from HELM to support extra-curricular experiences that will enhance their ability to provide transformational leadership to congregations and other Disciples ministries.
Charisse Knorr: Looking forward
 As Charisse Knorr begins her final year in college, she feels her focus shifting. While school and jobs keep her busy, Charisse realizes her would could change a lot in the next year. She doesn't know where she'll end up, what her job will be, or which church community she'll call home. She knows, though that wherever she ends up, she's ready for the challenge — and she knows God will be at her side. 		Charisse Knorr
Alan Moore: Brother in Bharat
 Two months traveling and studying in India taught Alan Moore years' worth of classroom learning. But it was more than learning Hindi and seeing ancient cities. For a small-town Carolinian, homeless children begging on the streets, the crush of people, and an uncomfortable lack of privacy showed Alan a culture he hadn't seen. But he also saw where different cultures connect, whether it was a shared interest in Car and Driver or seeing familiar hymns in a basement church. 		Alan Moore
Aly Gideon: A summer unlike any other
 A church camper her whole life, Aly Gideon feels more at home at summer camp than anywhere else. This year, as an intern at Tennessee's Bethany Hills Camp and Conference Center, she's seen church camp from the other side. Though exhausted and a bit homesick, Aly cherishes the opportunity to help young campers — just like she used to be — strengthen their faith. It's no coincidence her faith is strengthening, too. 		Aly Gideon
Kiersten Hawes: My summer opportunity to change the world
 Earlier this summer Kiersten Hawes participated in a United Nations program addressing several of the world's toughest challenges: poverty, hunger, disease, lack of adequate shelter, discrimination, education, and sustainability. While these challenges engaged Kiersten's mind and imagination, she also learned a lot about how she can work with others despite differing opinions. 		Kiersten Hawes
Henry Brewer-Calvert: An ocean bridged
 Henry Brewer-Calvert has spent much of this summer overseas, first in Europe and more recently in southern Africa. Being so far from home, Henry finds himself missing the connection with his Disciples congregations back home, but he also finds himself in community with the strangers around him — in World Cup soccer matches, along the shores of the Indian Ocean, and in a larger family of faith. 		Henry Brewer-Calvert
Alexis Westerhausen: The universal language
 A three-week study trip in Egypt gave Alexis Westerhausen once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to see some of the world's best-known landmarks. But the moment that sticks in her memory is a surprise trip to a Nubian village, where she met families and children with whom she had nearly nothing in common. Unable to communicate through words, she remembered we all share a common greeting. 		Alexis Westerhausen
