Can you bring to mind a beloved teacher or mentor that helped shape your life and faith journey?
Jasper is a senior at Lancaster Mennonite, and he’s about to be the first in his family to graduate from high school.
Jasper’s journey from a refugee camp in Thailand to preparing for college is a powerful example of what Christ-centered education makes possible.
He had people who wanted to help him grow as a disciple of Jesus, learn English, make friends, and ensure he got an excellent education in a Christ-centered school. These teachers and mentors were not just nice to have along the way, they were lifelines, helping him to achieve the dreams his parents had for him all along.
Your generosity can directly shape the lives of students at Lancaster Mennonite—students like Jasper.
Jasper’s LM experience—supportive teachers, a community that celebrates each student’s gifts, Bible classes that strengthened his faith, and peers who encouraged him—helped lead him to baptism this year and inspired his dream of becoming a teacher himself.
But the heart of this message is bigger than one story, one student, one family.
Every day, your gifts equip LM students to grow in Christ-like character, leadership, and compassion. Your support strengthens spiritual formation, expands learning opportunities, and ensures that students receive the kind of mentorship that changes the direction of their lives.

A gift of $50, $500, $5,000, or any amount that works for you, provides the faith-filled learning environment where students like Jasper are formed into leaders our world desperately needs.
