Our students thrive when they know they are surrounded by a community that believes in them. As they walk through this season of study and formation, we invite you to take a moment to share a word of encouragement or a prayer through the form below. Your messages remind our students that they are not walking this journey alone, but are supported and uplifted by the wider DSF family.

You all got this! Take it step by step, day by day. Do not be so weighed down by the studies that you forget to connect with the wonderful people around you. Afterall, these connections will stay with you more than the other stuff ;) - I promise! Ask for help when you need it. Take a nap. Go on a walk. Explore your city. Love your neighbor. Love yourself. Blessings on this school year, the world is lucky for the direction you are journeying.
I offer a portion of this amazing prayer by Thomas Merton: "My God, I have no idea where I am going. I not (clearly) see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end...the fact that I think I am following YOU does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please YOU does in fact please YOU. And I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing".
You are preparing to serve, to lead, and to be a source of hope for others...take heart and lean into the communities that surround and lift you. Praying for you all!
You all got this! We are so excited to walk alongside you in this journey. Praying for you all!
