Thanks to those of you who are graduates congregations, synods, and everyone else who sacrifices to and professional ministry “friends” who minister valiantly in make its mission in education possible. Thank YOU! often unheralded circumstances! We thank God for The three special stories herein highlighting the entrusting the development of such leaders to us, and for the ministries and giving of Romeo Dabee ’05; David Rowe proclamation they give to the faith by how they lead. Pr. ’81; and Dick Grove ’64, his spouse, Nancy, and our Rowe’s daughter, the Rev. Becky Resch, was one of our first devoted donor, Irma Wright, are self-explanatory. They scholars in the Theological Education with Youth (TEY) say a great deal about the challenges of ministry today in program. Her dad tells us that several weeks after her TEY different settings, and about what your generosity has summer was completed, she told her family that she had made possible in the preparation of our graduates and the decided to pursue pastoral ministry. She went on to attend difference they are making. LTSP and now serves as an associate pastor at Abiding As I read about Romeo’s diligent pastoral ministry to Presence Lutheran Church in Ewing Township, New Jersey. the scurrying passengers and busy employees at JFK Thanks to Irma Wright’s devotion and the devotion of Airport, regarded as a global gateway with its 42-million others, the Dr. Grover C. and Irma S.

A story in this report highlights that many graduates who have served all over the world. Our much of the most recent growth is due to a $13,000 gift new Dean, Dr. J.

Dick and Nancy have also contributed Rajashekar, who has served so well in that capacity and regular scholarship assistance to help seminarians with who decided to step down to pursue teaching and other children to better afford their training. Thanks to Dick, interests on our campus.

The seminary had a modest endowment and that, along with church support, made it possible not to charge our students tuition and keep other costs very low.

Donors like you, Philip D.W. Krey Dick and Nancy Grove, and Dave Rowe do much by their gifts to help to support our students, as you will read. Still, despite our best intentions for furnishing student financial aid, we cannot do as much as we want in these tough times. Consequently, many of our students graduate with significant debt, even though our tuition does not rival that of so many graduate schools. In addition, our wonderful students, who have sacrificed so much in order to serve our Lord, simply will not leave seminary with the earning power of many other graduate students entering the marketplace. The sad reality is that some of today’s seminary graduates may spend most if not all of their careers paying down their debt. From PHILANTHROPY
Dear friend, You are part of a remarkable story. This is the outline: somewhere in this world a pastor is serving because of you. A leader is guiding a special ministry of care because of you. A scholar is teaching, a musician is leading a congregation in song, a volunteer is serving food to hungry people, because of you. There is much more that could be told. Think of this: those actions are the result of the gifts of many people, including you. You have blessed the work of the seminary with your encouragement and support, and as a consequence, men and women have been prepared for service in the church and the world, to lead in the proclamation of the Gospel in word and deed. This annual report is a way of sending our thanks to you for your support, and we hope it also gives you a sense of the good that is accomplished through your contributions. As we send this report the campus has welcomed new and returning students, and we have begun the new academic year. Many of them are here only because you have helped through your generous gifts to the seminary. The impact of your gift, the “return on your investment,” is truly immeasurable. And so we thank you on behalf of the students and the people they will serve throughout their lives of ministry, because you are a part of this wonderful work of the Spirit to call and prepare leaders for the church. Please remember the seminary with generosity in prayer and support, and thank you for being a part of this life-giving story.
In Christ,
The Rev. John V. Puotinen Vice President for Philanthropy

Ms. Ann Johnson Mr. & Mrs. John H. Johnson, Jr. The following is an actual example of such an opportunity: Mr. Conway Johnson A retired pastor and his spouse had faithfully given modest gifts to the seminary Ms. Mia Johnson during his active ministry. In a recent conversation, he recalled his years at the The Rev. Lawrence Johnson seminary and how important the foundation he received at Philadelphia was to him as he served the Lord and his church. His wife had also reflected upon the important The Rev. Gwendolyn Johnson-Bond role that seminaries play for everyone who is interested in the future of the church. Ms. Nova S. Johnson-Derry The couple was introduced to an easy method of accomplishing their goals. A Mr. Walton Johnston & Mrs. Lois Johnston Charitable Gift Annuity is a simple exchange of an asset (such as cash, stock, or even Ms. Brenda Jones real estate) for regular income for the remainder of both of their lives. In this case, he Mr. Charles Jones & Mrs. Susan Jones was 77 and she was 79. Based on their ages, they could receive a 6.0 percent rate of Ms. Mary Smith Jones return! This was significantly more than they were getting from their CD, so they Ms. Nicole Jones decided to make their gift, and by doing so their income actually increased! They also The Rev. Alberta Jones received some attractive income tax advantages and were pleased that ultimately the Ms. Geraldine S. Jones seminary would receive what was left. The Rev. Dr. Randolph L. Jones The pastor and his wife were delighted because they increased their income Ms. Marjor ie L. Judd while helping their seminary. Mr. Robert E. Kaufmann & Mrs. Ellen F.
