When Peggy Harmann was thir-teen, she realized there was more to life. She asked her

grandparents to take her to church with them. She became a Christian at a little country church, and the church became her spiritual family. She began working for a Fortune 500 company while in high school and continued there for 32 years. During that time, she was blessed with a wonderful husband, Jeff, and kids (now adults) Joey and Elizabeth. She received her bachelor’s degree and advanced in the company through various roles,

travelling the world and gaining a variety of skills.

Peggy started attending the Seminary with online classes and driving to classes once a week and was finding it to be a ful-filling experience—a lifelong dream. One day she and Jeff realized God was calling them to some changes from their long-time corporate jobs. To make some deci-sions about specific ministries in which to be involved, they drove to Niagra Falls on a retreat and studied the book, 48 Days to Work You Love. God spoke to

Greetings alumni and friends:

You and I are painfully aware of the economic situation our country has been in for an extended season now. Has the seminary gone unscathed by the economic downturn? No. Has the seminary good news to share during this difficult time? Yes.

Just as Charles Dickens in his famous Tale of Two Cities said, “It was the best of times; it was the worst of times. . .” We have good news, and we have profound challenges.

GOOD NEWS

*The seminary continues to proclaim the Wes-leyan Pentecostal message without compromise.

*While other seminaries have seen hundreds of thousands of dollars of loss (and some have experienced the loss of millions) in their endow-ments, we have not lost one cent, and to the con-trary, our endowments have grown.

*We continue to hear stirring stories about our graduates making a difference in the United States and around the world. This newsletter shares one such story on the cover page.

*We just finished an accreditation process with the national and regional accrediting bodies that review us in detail. They were very complimen-tary about our work and something very rare hap-pened. There were no findings/notations against us after their thorough review.

*The Holy Spirit is moving deeply in our cha-pel services. I invite you to visit our web site at www.ptseminary.edu and hear highlights of some of our chapel services.

*We continue to have effective, dedicated long-term professors in the classroom.

*With sacrifice and great care, we have bal-anced our budget every year for many years.

*The Church of God of Prophecy has recently named us as their official seminary.

*We continue to meet enrollment goals.

*Each year, we provide more scholarships than the year before.

PROFOUND CHALLENGES

*Due to reduction in funds sent to Church of God World Missions by local churches, we have been informed that it is necessary for World

Missions to phase out sponsorship of students brought to the Seminary from around the world. This year, we will lose $44,416.00 in funding which means one less student is here this year and fur-ther reductions of students from around the world will take place over the next four years. Read the story on page 14 of the student who would have come this year to the seminary if the funding had not been cut back. In addition, there is a waiting list of potential global leaders who need financial assistance to attend the Seminary in the future.

*A number of students from across the U.S. looked forward to starting their educational jour-ney at the seminary this semester, but even with the scholarships we could give them, they had to delay their education in order to raise additional funds.

*Because of the reduction in funds sent to de-nominational headquarters by our churches, we have seen a gradual cut in monies provided to us by the denomination in the amount of $415,000.00 over the last two years. This has meant we have had to do more with less, and at times, even less with less.

LOOKING AHEAD WITH FAITH

Each student that comes to the seminary is better grounded in Pentecostal theology. Each student that graduates from the seminary is mak-ing a difference where God sends them. THAT IS GOOD NEWS! We are doing a good work, and we are thankful to God that we can rely upon his promise in 2 Corinthians 9:8:

And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that ye, always have all suf-ficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.

I firmly believe that no student should be pre-vented from coming to the seminary because of finances. That is a goal of mine. Some people tell me it is unrealistic, but I believe you and I want to make a difference, and we will join together to make it a reality through our giving. With a ma-jor reduction in denominational funding over the last few years, and the potential for more to come, we rely even more upon you as our partner in the significant work of our seminary.

Has the seminary

good news to share during this difficult

time? Yes!

Want to Sharpen Your

Leadership Gifts?

“The Doctor of Ministry pro-gram at the Pentecostal Seminary is a 30-hour program that offers the opportunity to receive doc-toral level training in the practice of ministry. Students have focused their DMin via their electives, proj-ect, dissertation and other work in areas in pastoral ministry, coun-seling, chaplaincy, administration, missions, ministry education, dis-cipleship and Christian formation, and other areas.

The DMin emphasizes academic and ministry work in the student’s ministry context, with two-weeks in October each year on the main campus for three years. Students represent various parts of the Unit-ed States and several parts of the World. Core work includes Theol-ogy, Bible, Administration, Con-flict Resolution, and other areas.”

them about specific ministries in which to pour their gifts and talents; two of those were Native American ministries and local food ministry. They retired in December 2008 to move into these ar-eas of service.

Peggy serves as Children’s Pastor at East Sparta Church of God. Peggy researched the demographics of their local community and found that ap-proximately 50% of the local children were on free or reduced lunch. She also discovered that teachers were hav-ing to provide clothing and food for many children, sending food home in their backpacks on Fridays. Peggy and Jeff initiated a program of feeding hot meals at their church to approximately 200 people each week. Now, not only are community children being served on Wednesday evenings at the church, but church members are interacting and ministering to the families as well thanks to a great team of volunteers and a caring local church! A plan has been drafted to expand the meal ministry, potentially with various partners.

In 2008, Peggy and Jeff met Johnny Hughes and Indian Ministries North America (IMNA) which is a multi-de-nominational ministry that also receives support from the Church of God. This ministry has a youth mentoring and leadership program. The last two years, IMNA took a group of First Americans youth ministering across America. This summer one stop was the Pine Ridge, South Dakota reservation, one of the poorest areas in the USA, where there were many child/teen suicides each week.

Into this area where there is no hope, INMA carried the message of hope. They held concerts and worked in street ministry. They worked on providing a culturally relevant message, and devel-oping Christian leaders from the youth participating in the mentoring program. Among her summer ministry experi-ences, Peggy and Jeff spent two weeks in Arizona and New Mexico ministering in service at Southwest Indian Ministry of the Church of God. They helped with youth and kids camps, did some teach-ing, and helped with food preparation.

Peggy’s desire is to see the First Americans youth appreciating their culture while embracing the hope of Christ.

“I am thankful for a seminary that guides

those who are listening for His voice and

prepares those who hear to do His will.”Just as many students who come to

PTS, Peggy has a heart of compassion for the lost and those whose lives feel destitute and hopeless. By attending the Seminary and participating in the com-munity of faith on the campus, Peggy was supported and encouraged by fac-ulty and students to continue to pursue her call to ministry. Peggy shared: “The faces of Native American children who live in extreme poverty will not leave my mind. Remembering the smiles of those who have accepted Jesus Christ encour-ages me as I have asked God to lead me into how I am to continue to minister to the needy children and to Native Amer-icans. I know I will continue making a difference, and the seminary has played a crucial role in preparing me for effec-tive ministry. I am thankful for a semi-nary that guides those who are listen-ing for His voice and prepares those who hear His voice to do His will.”

There are many others who, like Peggy, have a dream of giving hope to the hopeless, but they are not able to attend the Seminary due to finan-cial need. Others have to take a break from their studies while they find a way to finance another semester at the seminary. Your gifts to support minis-terial training at the seminary pave the way for students to step onto a path of providing hope to the hopeless and into a life of making a significant difference in the lives of others.

Ken Davis Joins the Administration

Ken Davis has just joined the seminary as Vice President for Institutional Advancement. Ken is a graduate of Kent State Uni-versity and Duke Law School. He practiced law for 20 years in Akron, Ohio, before God called him into the ministry as associ-ate pastor at Canton Temple of

Praise in Canton, Ohio. He served in that role for four years before being appointed as Assistant Di-rector of Stewardship Ministries for the Church of God. After three years in that position, he was appointed Director of Stewardship Ministries and served in that position for six years before he ac-cepted the offer of the seminary to work here.

Ken served on the seminary board for four years and has had a connection with the seminary for over 20 years (he served for many years on the Steward-ship Commission). He has been a friend to many of our professors and staff for many years, and we are enjoying having him with us and laboring with us.

When asked about his new position, Ken related, “I want to be responsive to God’s will for my life. The decision to come here was made after much prayer and fasting. The seminary is one of the best things happening in the Church of God. I have been a big fan from the first time I visited the seminary over 20 years ago. The seminary is crucial to the work of the Church of God. I am honored and humbled by the opportunity to help the seminary as it teaches and guides those called into ministry. It is my goal to establish long-term relationships and partnerships with our students, alumni, donors, faculty and staff.”

Ken’s wife, Debbie, is the administrative assis-tant to Dr. Lamar Vest who is the president of the American Bible Society. Ken and Debbie have been married for 31 years and have a son, Daniel, who is studying at Ohio State to be a teacher.

Reaffirmation of Accreditation

Oliver McMahanVice President for Ministry Formation

The Pentecostal Theological Seminary has recently been recommended for 10-year reaffirmation by both the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools-Commis-sion on Colleges (SACS) and the Association of Theologi-cal Schools in the United States and Canada (ATS). The

reaffirmation from SACS came in December, 2009 and the ATS reaf-firmation came in June, 2010.

Accreditation by both SACS and ATS represent the most recognized forms of accreditation for Seminar-ies in the United States. SACS ac-creditation represents reaffirmation as a graduate education institution.

ATS accreditation represents reaffirmation as a graduate level institution training persons in ministry.

All of the doctoral and masters degrees of the Semi-nary were reaffirmed with commendation. The Seminary offers the Doctor of Ministry, Masters of Divinity, Mas-ters in Discipleship and Christian Formation, Master of Arts in Church Ministry and Masters in Counseling.

ATS decided to use the Seminary’s Self-Study entitled, Transitioning for Global Missional Leadership: An In-stitutional Self-Study, as an example for ATS’s ongoing training of other institutions currently in the self-study process.

The online program of the Seminary was reaffirmed for use in all of the Seminary’s master’s programs. Commen-dations during the accreditation process included both faculty achievements, administrative stability and gradu-ate academic and ministry placements.

Graduates from the Seminary, with accredited degrees, for decades have:

advanced to ministry and leadership positions, pastorates and staff positions around the world

completed PhD’s at major universities and published in peer review articles and texts

been placed in teaching and educational leadership positions around the world

served as military, institutional and community chaplains throughout the globe

Colombian Overseer Awaits Seminary Study Opportunity

Arturo Mendieta is an experienced pastor and church leader in his native country of Colom-bia. During his busy ministry over 32 years,

he has attended Bible school, completed a university degree in philosophy, served as a pastor, taught in the national Bible institute, and advanced to become ter-ritorial overseer of Northern Colombia.

One of Mendieta’s goals is to complete a Master of Divinity degree at the Pentecostal Theological Semi-nary. World Missions attempts to identify and bring to the Seminary early- to mid-career church leaders for the purpose of enhancing and enriching their minis-tries. Most will have a teaching ministry in connection with whatever future assignment they fulfill. Mend-ieta has explained “throughout my life I have carried out two main functions: Pastor and Educator. I hope to spend the rest of my life in the training, selecting, preparing, and empowering of new leaders.” In his application letter, Mendieta wrote, “I believe the time has come to equip myself for greater service. One of my principal tasks as an overseer is the ongoing training of our pastors, and I will be limited in accomplishing the work until I study these courses and earn the degree.” The church leader’s former Field Director, Víctor Pagán, identified him as a gifted and dedicated leader whose ministry has been productive and fruitful. Pagán says, “It is es-sential to have a national with the academic credentials to strengthen the ministerial training program. Arturo Medieta is that person.”

He will have to fulfill his dream in the future; at the present time, he is next on the waiting list for a World Missions-assisted scholarship to attend the seminary. He would have come to the seminary in the fall of 2010, but because World Missions needed to reduce their budget this year, World Missions had to significantly cut the amount of funding they were able to send to the seminary this year for international students. World Missions had been funding five international students

at the seminary each year. The difficult news is that

World Missions reports it will have to further cut the

monies sent to the seminary for international students

over the next four years. Fewer international students

coming to the seminary has a ripple effect that affects

the church for many years to come.

“We need to find ways for more international students to come, and we cannot accept a state in

which fewer international students come to the seminary.”

President Land responded to Mendieta’s situation

by saying that it is admirable Mendieta says he will pa-

tiently await his chance to attend the

seminary. Land continued, “However,

I do not know if we can be patient.

Fewer students weakens the interna-

tional bonds of faith and fellowship that

binds us together globally. Friendships

formed at the seminary between stu-

dents and church leaders endure for a

lifetime. It is good for international stu-

dents and good for American pastors

to spend time together at the seminary.

We must find ways to continue to fund international

students coming to the seminary. We do not need to re-

duce the numbers; we need to increase them. We need

leaders like Brother Mendieta who have such passion

and dedication to the Kingdom to continue to come to

the seminary. We need to find ways for more interna-

tional students to come, and we cannot accept a state in

which fewer international students come to the semi-

nary.”

If you would like to contribute to the funds necessary

to continue bringing international students to the sem-

inary, use the enclosed envelope. If you attend a Church

of God, provide the name of your church, and World

Missions will give your church World Missions credit.
