UPDATE FROM MISSIO

April 21, 2020
Greetings!
 
I pray that you are doing well and practicing self-care during this season.

At Missio Seminary we care deeply for our students and all of those who are connected to our faith community. We want you to know that we are here for you and would like to provide you with a quick update on Missio. Also, at the bottom of the email are several highlights of our faculty and alumni serving during this time. We hope it is an encouragement to you.

On March 13 we were able to quickly respond to COVID-19 and move all of our classes online. Since then we have made the decision to finish the semester online, but have not yet finalized our plans for Fall 2020.

We are continuing to make adjustments and forge a path forward at the seminary. We have been blessed to be able to maintain full operations and not have to furlough or layoff any personnel. While this pandemic has caused challenges, the investments we made in technology over the past 5 years have allowed us to continue to educate and train students to follow Jesus in the the world. We are extremely proud how our faculty, staff, and students have stepped up during this unprecedented time. 

Please know that we care for you and our prayers go out for you.

If you have any questions or prayer requests please email us at admissions@missio.edu
Blessings,

Rev. Dr. Michael Heath

God is powerfully using Missio faculty, staff, alumni, and students throughout the world who are rising to the occasion and making a huge Kingdom impact in the midst of this crisis. Here are just a few examples happening right here in Philadelphia:




Vito Baldini (MDiv ‘14) is forming new partnerships, developing new distribution methods, and mobilizing an army of volunteers through EASTER OUTREACH, which provides food for the most vulnerable throughout the city of Philadelphia.

At the Crossroads Community Center, Juan Marrero (MDiv ’13) is leading an effort to care for those in the Fairhill section of Philadelphia.  Here is a video of Juan and the team at Crossroads working in partnership with the Sherriff’s office.

A number of Missio alums including Nes Espinosa (MDiv ’13), Gabriel Wang-Herrera (MDiv ’12), Natalie Martinez (MDiv ’14), Ryan Kellermeyer (MDiv ’15), Jeremy Chen (MDiv ’16), Rob Whitmire (MDiv ’12), and several others are mobilizing leaders in North Philadelphia to compile resources and information to support churches and ministries across the city in loving and providing for their neighbors through Operation Neighbor Care Philly
