Grants update : Cathy Madavan

Studying for a master ’ s degree in theology after many years of ministry has been refreshing , empowering , and invigorating . I feel as though my preaching , teaching and leading have been given a new lease of life ; and I have discovered deeper wells of theology to draw on every day .
I am so grateful for the support from LWPT that enabled me to study and deepen my theological understanding . It really did make all the difference .
An update
Cathy Madavan
I have just completed the dissertation stage of my master ’ s degree in theology , which stretched and blessed me in equal measure . I hope and pray the research undertaken will continue to underpin future ministry as I teach , write , minister and support other leaders in different ways .
