Hello, everyone. Thank you for visiting my giving page. I’m Lindsey, and today I’m going to tell you a story.

There was once a young woman who felt like she missed out on God’s call on her life.

Circumstances and external influences led her to a profession that paid the bills, but she never felt like her vocation aligned with the dreams and visions she was given from God. Though she completed all her work unto the Lord and tried to make a difference in her place of employment, she couldn’t help but feel that there was a deeper passion He was stirring in her.

It was a passion for His Church, the Body of Christ. She yearned to give all her hours to serve Him in His House. Her heart burned for His people and desired to see everyone join His flock. She longed to equip the saints for ministry like Paul in the New Testament.

She realized she wanted to make ministry her vocation, but she was afraid that she was too old and too busy with “real life” to obtain the education and experience needed to make this a reality.

But...there was hope. She soon learned about Radiant School of Ministry LAUNCH. A program that might be able to fit into her busy life, allowing her to attend school while also working full-time and being a mom.

The RSM LAUNCH Program is for working adults across the United States who feel called to vocational ministry. These students might not have the time or resources to attend a traditional ministry school program, but through LAUNCH they can obtain the education, training, and practical ministry experience they will need to pursue God’s call on their life. Classes are primarily online, which makes it a good fit for students in any season of life or location. RSM LAUNCH also partners with local churches and pastors in the student’s community to equip these future leaders with real-world ministry experience and opportunities to put what they are learning into practice.

As you may have guessed by now: the woman in the story is me. My husband and I both had the immense privilege to attend and graduate from the Radiant School of Ministry LAUNCH program. Without LAUNCH, I would never have had the opportunity to attend ministry school. I am forever grateful for the years that I have been able to work in ministry as my vocation because of the knowledge, experience, and relationships that I gained through this program.

And now it is my chance to give back! I will be serving on the RSM LAUNCH team to help students and pastors thrive in this program. Specifically, I will be highly involved in facilitation of weekly discussion groups, curating topics and questions that will help the students apply what they are learning to their ministry.

RSM LAUNCH is raising up the future leaders and pastors in the Church. Will you partner with me to equip the saints?
