Thank You 

I am extremely grateful to be the recipient of the Rev. Walter H. Wagner Intercultural Award this Fall. It was meaningful to me to be recognized for work that I feel is deeply important for our communities. One of the strongest passions I have is interfaith and intercultural work for the betterment of all peoples, and this award gave me encouragement and support to continue with this work. I am also thankful for the reassurance this award has given me that I am on the right path. This encouragement towards my education strengthens me for fulfilling a call that is not easy to answer. To me, a call to Ministry needs to be validated by others to ensure it is a true call to do God’s work as a vocation. God opens doors if we have the heart to recognize when they are opened for us. Thank you for the opportunity to share the good news of this award with others.
