Lions in the Field | Recent Alumni 🦁

From classrooms to careers, these recent Nelson graduates are already putting their education into action.

Whether serving in ministry, business, education, nonprofits, or beyond, they’re using their gifts and passions to make a difference where they are.

We’re proud to celebrate these Lions and the many ways they continue to represent Nelson University. 💜

We’re heading out to connect with our Nelson community!
This week, our team will be at:
➡️ North Texas
➡️ South Central Texas
Make sure to come find us and let us know what you’ve been up to!

📸 Throwback Thursday

In the 1950s, campus life extended beyond the classroom. The school operated programs in agriculture, woodworking, and printing that helped provide resources for the university while giving students opportunities to be involved in the day-to-day life of campus.

It’s a unique piece of Nelson history that reflects the creativity and community spirit of that era.

Did you know this part of our story? 👀

To dwell with the Lord is an honor and a blessing. Time spent with the Lord so that we may be sent out in HIS authority is just one of the many privileges we have as children of God.
Thank you, Lord, for allowing us to be in fellowship with you. We are yours. Use us how you want to.

Nelson friends and family, will join us today in praying for the LIONS?
