Three young people (two from Siena Leone and one from Mexico) graduated from Lutheran South and North in late May and are headed to college in the fall. Two of those graduates have been involved at Timothy Hawa, who has been receiving support from CFNA since her seventh grade at Word of Life, is heading to the University of Memphis to study health care administration. She’s looking forward to her July Freshman Orientation, even while she is working this summer as a party host at Incredible Pizza. Among other things she appreciated about her years at Lutheran South was that the environment helped her stay true to her faith. That continues to be her goal for her future.
Canyon University, a Christian college. He will be studying business and marketing. He chose Grand Canyon because it will support his continued growth in his faith. This summer he is working for a landscaping firm as well as running a small lawn-mowing business with his friend. The most important memory he will have of Lutheran South is the many connections he made with both students and faculty.
The three eighth grade graduates are all heading to Lutheran High Schools. Billy who was born in Uganda, has had support since fourth grade at Grace Chapel, while Rene (from India) and Esther (from Congo) have been supported for just one year at Word of Life.
Cyrille, who was a member at Timothy for a number of years, has just graduated from the University of Toledo. He played Division 1 football for two years, building on his experience at Lutheran South.
