Please consider how you can help a student receive a
Grace College education. Your gift could change a student’s life!
From The President
by Ronald E. Manahan, Th.D.
Why Grace? What is a Grace education about? Questions I’m asked often.
Here is my answer. Grace is very intentional about educating students.
Stirring their passion for a life of noble
character, doing what is right again and
again, and living out the traits of love,
joy, peace, patience, kindness, and other
such habits. Stirring their passion for a life
of learning and competence by thinking
critically, working hard, sharpening skills,
growing their value to employers, families,
communities, and churches. Stirring their
passion for service to God and others, that
is living with less self-interest and more
concern for God and others.
Making this educational experience available
to students requires scholarships that enable
attendance. Grace is committed to raising
scholarship help for students, especially
during these challenging economic times
for families, regions, states, and country. We
ask you seriously to consider contributing
to our $4 million campaign to raise money
for student scholarships. Please partner with
us to help students and our world. A Grace
education is needed now more than ever.
Thank you for your consideration.
Such education is desperately needed, honors
God, and multiplies good for others.
Ronald E. Manahan, Th.D.
President

A Capital Campaign for Grace College and Seminary Students
by John R. Boal
The 10-year comprehensive capital campaign for
Grace College and Seminary—“Invest in Leadership…
Impact the Future”—has come to a successful close.
The campaign included a campus face lift with the addition of
three new buildings—Indiana Hall, the Robert and Francis Gordon
Student Recreation Center, and the Orthopaedic Capital Center—
with a total investment of $16 million. In addition, the school
received $12.5 million in unrestricted gifts to the Grace Fund and
the endowing of Grace’s first chair with a gift from Dr. Dane and
Mary Louise Miller. Total giving for the campaign was just under
$30 million! God has blessed Grace and we are thankful for His
goodness to us.
This also allows us to say thank you for your faithful giving
to campus.
I believe that it is healthy to look back and reflect on God’s
providential work in our lives, both personally and institutionally.
But I also hear the voice of Coach “K” in my head as he impressed
the words of the apostle Paul from Philippians 3:13–14 on our
hearts: “… forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what
lies ahead, I press on toward the goal…” (NASB).
So today Grace is ready to press on and is launching a new capital
campaign. “ONWARD” is a student-focused campaign at Grace
College and Seminary. The goal of “ONWARD” is to raise $4
million for student scholarships over the next two and one-half years.
I invite you to prayerfully consider what role God has for you in the
lives of our students as we launch this new endeavor.

What does a scholarship mean
in the life of a Grace student?
Meet two students who have been helped
by scholarships and encouraged by donors
who made giving to Grace a priority.
Jacque (Peters) Proctor is in her final year at Grace College. The senior
from Wilmington, Ohio, will graduate in May 2010, with an elementary
education degree.
“I knew I wanted to attend a Christian
college,” she said. “My original plan was
not to attend Grace. I looked into a few
other schools and had my heart set on one.
But God had another plan. I am paying
for college on my own and needed a good
financial aid package and had not heard
from the other college.
“I decided to drive up to Grace. I took a tour
and loved the campus and the atmosphere.
In the end, Grace was able to offer me a
better financial aid package, and I have loved
it here!”
Jacque received the Dane A. and Mary
Louise Miller Merit Scholarship and a Grace
Grant, plus she is a work-study with America
Reads. “My financial aid package was a very
important part of my college decision,”
she said. “Coming to Grace has changed
my life in so many ways. If it were not for
the generous people who give to Grace, I
wouldn’t have been able to attend.”
Jacque’s husband, Shea (BS 07), whom
she met at Grace, is a teacher in Warsaw.
Jacque is looking forward to her own
teaching career soon. Currently, she is
student teaching under Grace alumnus
Pam (Osborn, BS 68) Shipley at Jefferson
Elementary School in Winona Lake. “I have
always wanted to be a teacher,” she said.
“I wanted a Christian education and my
parents were not able to contribute. But
because of generous people, I was able to
come to Grace.”

“Receiving any financial aid
is always a huge blessing.”
Josh Neuhart, a Grace College junior from Avon, Indiana, sees sports as
an opportunity to serve God. Josh is pursuing a double major in journalism
and biblical studies “to make an eternal impact,” he said, through athletics.
“I’m definitely still open to the Lord’s
leading for the future,” he said. “but for right
now, I feel God directing me toward either
sports ministry or sports journalism.”
Josh is getting some valuable experience in
this area right now as a student. “Since my
freshman year,” he explained, “I have worked
with Athletic Director Chad Briscoe and
6
KL 19513 AnReport.indd 6
9/21/09 1:45 PM
my roommate Steve Copeland in the Sports
Information Department keeping stats and
maintaining and updating the athletic Web
site. I’m constantly thanking God for the
chance to get involved in Grace Athletics
with a guy who has the same heart for sports
and for God that I have.”
“When I found out (through a Grace
Magazine article) that Mrs. Grossman had
been instrumental in the foundation of
the journalism program at Grace,” he said,
“I was excited to be associated with the
scholarship. To be given an award in Mrs.
Grossman’s honor means a lot to me.
Josh says he came to Grace because he loved
the campus and the spiritual environment.
He has been a Growth Group Leader and
leads a basketball outreach serve team. He is
also a recipient of the Elener R. Grossman
Journalism Scholarship.
“Receiving any financial aid is always a
huge blessing. I think donations help
build relationships between alumni and
current students.”
Meet The donor
Gilbert G. Grossman of Jonesborough, Tennessee, believes in sharing
God’s blessings with others. And he is especially enthusiastic about sharing
those blessings with Grace students.
Grossman’s late wife, Elener (Norris, BA
58, S 63) taught English and journalism at
Grace College from 1959–1963. Her high
standards and encouraging words are wellremembered by her students.
“Ellie” married Grossman and they operated
an agricultural business in Westville,
Indiana. “After 16 years at our business, we
retired so we could do some overseas shortterm missions trips,” said Grossman. “Ellie
fought cancer for 31 years, but she never let
it hinder in serving the Lord.” She served on
24 trips, mostly in literature and bookstore
ministries, before the Lord called her home
in March 2005 at age 68.
Grossman wanted to honor Ellie’s life,
so he established an endowed journalism
scholarship in her name at Grace College.
He explained: “We as Christians need to
support our Christian colleges and provide
help to students who want to attend, but
do not have the financial means.
“With the economic downturn, finances
have become more critical for many
students. God abundantly blessed our
marriage…so I want to share some of
those blessings with others. I have found
that the more you let blessings flow
through you first, the more the Lord
blesses.”

Legacies involve teamwork—people reaching together toward forward
and onward momentum.
Like the passing of the baton in a relay race,
gaining optimal momentum and achieving
the ultimate goal is reliant upon synergistic
collaboration. The race cannot be run alone.
A relay is dependent upon the passing of the
baton—the reaching, the grasping, and the
receiving with a firm, steady, and supportive
grip. The runner pursues the goal with
onward momentum toward the finish line.
Help advance the legacy of Grace. By
supporting a student, you can be a team
participant toward future Grace impact, one
student at a time.
Here’s how:
• Send your kids—pass the baton.
What better place than Grace!
• Be a conduit—encourage youth within
your sphere of influence to consider Grace.
What better place than Grace!
• Bless through a monetary gift—make an
investment in kingdom impact.
What better place than Grace!
Support the “Onward” Grace Alumni
Scholarship Fund and help pass the tradition
of educational excellence “Onward.”
