Send the Light
Moody Bible Institute Giving Day | April 29, 2025

I have made you a light for the nations, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth. —Acts 13:47

This year’s Giving Day theme is Send the Light—a call to equip Christ-centered leaders to share the light of Jesus with a world in darkness.

Your Giving Day support helps fund critical tuition needs so students can prepare for ministry without the burden of debt. Join us for a day of gratitude and worship, featuring student-led praise and a special message from Dr. Mark Jobe.

Your generosity will help us meet our $650,000 Giving Day need, empowering future graduates to step into ministry and share the hope of Christ worldwide.

‘Giving to Moody Is a Joy’ Chicago alum is giving back to her alma mater for the training and education that prepared her for the mission field.

Dr. Elizabeth Lightbody ’63 considers it a joy to give back to Moody Bible Institute, which prepared her for 25 years as a missionary in the Philippines and then 25 years as professor of missions at Moody. Ironically, she said a decisive “No” to both places at first.

“I sensed God’s call upon my life for missions before I went to Moody,” says Elizabeth, who double-majored in Christian Education and Music. “My training [at Moody] really prepared me for when I went to Michigan State to finish my Elementary Education degree and then a master’s in Education Curriculum Design.”
