Giving Day Campaign

 

 

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

I have made you a light for the Gentiles, 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.

Together, let’s Send the Light!
