“Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. Is any one of you sick? He should call for the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned,

he will be forgiven.” James 5: 13-15

God through the church. We help them keep college costs manageable and offer opportunities

to begin preparing for ministry even before seminary.

Randolph-Macon College's A. Purnell Bailey Pre-Ministerial Scholarship is available for

undergraduates discerning a call to ministry, offering half-tuition during a student’s freshman and

sophomore years at R-MC and full-tuition during the junior and senior years.

Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Virginia and is the oldest United Methodist College in

continuous operation and home to the Bailey Scholars program helping to prepare a new

generation of leaders in the Church.

R-MC applications for Bailey Scholar are being accepted now, with a deadline of

February 1, 2019. The program is open to Christian students of any denomination or

Christian tradition. Learn more at http://www.rmc.edu/academics/pre-ministerial or by contacting
