Help Luke Holland Continue His Ministry Studies

Update (12/16/2024): I have been given until the 5th of January to give the funds required to return next semester!

Hi, my name is Luke Holland. I am currently a non-traditional sophomore at Boise Bible College. I was recently told that I needed to reduce my school bill to at least under $1,000 before December 20th (I originally thought I had until next semester to reduce this bill). I currently owe $4,139.58 to the school. Another option aside from donating here on GoFundMe (they take 3% of the funds raised here), you can call Boise Bible College, 2083767731, and can make a direct payment to my student account just tell them it is to be put on Luke Holland's student bill (they are open 8am-4pm MST). Here's a little about why and what I want to use my schooling for, my story, and why I am trying to use GoFundMe to raise money for school:

I grew up going to a church camp called Great Adventure Camp. I started attending this camp when I was around 8 up to 18 and then worked as a counselor for the past 4 summers (2021-2024). Through this camp and other youth and children ministry volunteer services, I grew a passion and skill for it without knowing. I started to be encouraged by those around me that I worked well with youth and should think about full-time ministry. I had never thought about ministering to youth as a full-time job and loved the idea because I already loved doing it seasonally and volunteering. This led me to search for Bible colleges to get a theological degree and find Boise Bible College. I am currently in my second semester at Boise Bible College pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Christian Ministry, and my major is in Family and Youth Ministry. My goal is to use this degree to better minister to youth. The end goal is not yet decided, as I am allowing room for God to guide me where He wants me. Although I have my eyes set on being a Youth Pastor, this degree allows me to go into lots of different ministry professions (Youth Pastor, Youth Director, Youth Camp Director, etc.). I hope that through schooling I can create a safe space for youth, lead them in the right direction, and help them navigate today's and tomorrow's problems in a God-honoring and Biblical way.

I am using GoFundMe because I have been given eleven days to come up with $3,000. I am currently applying for as many scholarships as I can for the coming semesters. My hope is that through this I can come up with enough money to at least pay off most of my previous bills and start to stay on track.

All funds raised will go to my student bill, even if over the goal amount.
