As a supporter of LWPT you can change lives!
GRANTS CASE STUDY: Miles Tradewell
In this issue we hear from Miles Tradewell, a
student at the University of St Andrews, who
received a grant in 2018. He tells us how your
donations have changed his life.
For the past two years, LWPT has been extremely
generous in supporting me through my MLitt at
the University of St Andrews. I’m so grateful for the
support as, from a human point of view, it has made
these studies possible! I’ve just heard that I have
successfully completed the Masters degree, passing
with a distinction, which I’m thrilled about!
One of my greatest passions is teaching the Bible
to others. For several years I’d had a growing desire
to complete further study, in order to be better
equipped to preach and teach. But—as I’m sure
many people can relate to—the cost of formal
training always seemed like a massive hurdle. This
is where LWPT has made such a difference to me and
my family.
In the summer of 2017, I’d been accepted onto an
MLitt course at the University of St Andrews,
but it wasn’t at all clear how we’d manage to cover the cost of the fees. As we’d been praying
about this challenge, I discovered the LWPT grant scheme (literally on the last day that they were
receiving applications!). Amazingly, my application was accepted and they very kindly offered
me a grant. Of course, this made a massive difference from a practical point of view, but more
significantly, the incredible timing felt like God’s confirmation that this was the right path for me.
Over the past two years, the MLitt has been a fantastic experience and I’m happy to say that I’ll be
graduating this December. I’ve learnt so much and it’s had a huge impact on my preaching
and teaching.
I’m incredibly grateful to LWPT for their generous support. Studying God’s Word and sharing it with
others is an immense privilege and this recent period has helped to confirm my sense of calling to
this joyful work.
I just wanted to take this opportunity to convey my deep appreciation to the trustees and staff of
LWPT for their support. It really has made a huge difference.
Thank you LWPT for helping me!
