Why do you want to be a
Raleigh Fellow? I first heard of The Fellows Program through a couple of
college friends. However, it wasn’t until I visited the website and
read the mission statement for the Raleigh Fellows that I began to engage in
the idea of applying. I really believe this is an incredibly purposeful
time in my life that I don’t want to waste. What I admire about this program is
the intense focus geared towards personal growth in Christ, the continued
expansion of knowledge and understanding of who God made me to be, and the
overall emphasis on engaging culture. To have the opportunity to sit under the
teaching of those who intensely love the Bible, to grow relationally as I
interact with a group of like-minded men and women, and to become a part of a
church that values family and serving others is going to be a great way I spend
the next nine months.
