This past year at the Joshua Wilderness Institute (JWI) was nothing short of extraordinary. All 42 graduating students memorized the entire book of Philippians and concluded their year walking through Turkey—tracing the footsteps of Paul and the early Church. Opening the Bible in the very places it was lived out brought Scripture to life in unforgettable ways.
Now, we’re preparing to welcome a new class of students into the same life-changing journey. With just 10 spots left, a $3,000 scholarship is available to those who enroll before July 15th—helping remove financial barriers to a year of deep discipleship, leadership, and growth.
But for many students, even that isn’t enough.
Take Rylie, a recent JWI graduate who was only able to attend because of a $15,000 scholarship made possible by a generous donor. Before Joshua, Rylie believed she had to earn God’s love. But everything changed over the course of the year:
“Because of that scholarship, I learned that I don’t need to do things for God to love me—I get to do my life in light of the fact that He already does.”
This is what your giving makes possible.
We’re urgently seeking additional scholarship funds to help students like Rylie—those who are called but need help to say yes. Would you consider a gift to the JWI Campership Fund today? Your generosity could be the key that opens the door to a life of purpose, growth, and Gospel impact.
Know someone who’s ready for a year like this? Send them to joshuawilderness.org before July 15 to apply and claim the enrollment scholarship.
Together, let’s help shape the next generation—memorizing the Word, serving with purpose, and walking where the Gospel began.
