Thank You! ... from Zion’s own Charles Wallace

Katrina and Church before his vicarage interview

Chuck Wallace is now a Second-year Seminarian at Concordia St. Louis 
My journey to the seminary is one that could take hours to fully explain, filled with twists, challenges, and moments of deep discernment. But one thing is certain—it is a journey that has not been traveled alone. You have been a part of it. 

The rising cost of higher education made obtaining my undergraduate de-gree a significant financial challenge. While I have made it this far by the grace of God, the weight of that burden is still very real. That is why your generosity has meant so much. It has not only helped ease that financial strain, but it has also reaffirmed my calling and given me the opportunity to continue pursuing this path. Without you, I would not be here today. Your kind support has been a tangible expression of God’s provision in my life, and for that, I am profoundly grateful. My hope is that one day, I will be able to extend the same generosity to others that you have shown to me. 

The impact of your kindness is a reminder that God provides through His people and that no one walks this path alone. Thank you for believing in me, for investing in my calling, and for being a part of the work God is doing in my life. 

Next Up: Vicarage – On April 30th, I will receive my vicarage placement! Although this is a time of uncertainty for Katrina and me, as we do not yet know where we will be, we are nonetheless excited to see where God will place us to serve His Kingdom. Be on the lookout for my next newsletter in early May, where I will share our placement and the journey ahead!
