Introducing Revelation Seven Nine Education Fund
Born out of a desire to help the children of Christian workers in developing or largely non-Christian countries receive a Christ-based education, the Revelation Seven Nine Education Fund was launched in May 2017 as a non-profit organization to solicit donations in order to grant scholarships to worthy candidates. On the day before its launch, as a confirmation as to its need, a missionary friend from India made me aware of a pastor who had two sons studying at a small Christian school in the mid-west. These boys were sponsored by a relative for 2 years but circumstances changed and the sponsorship dried up. These were exactly the kinds of students that Revelation Seven Nine was envisioned for. Both boys are keen Christians, exhibited leadership in their school – lead worship – and are good students academically. Revelation Seven Nine was able to help these 2 boys graduate from high school. They are both now studying at Seattle Pacific University.
Revelation Seven Nine helps students in India, Africa and Cambodia get the education they could not afford otherwise.

Joel Ashish
My name is Sanyam Joel Ashish and I am a 2nd year college student pursuing a major in Business
administration and a minor in Music and Worship Arts at Seattle Pacific University.
Apart from my academic commitments, I serve as a Student Ministry Coordinator. A
student ministry coordinator (SMC) is essentially a student leadership position that
functions under our campus ministry department. My responsibilities as an SMC
include serving my fellow residents and student body by planning faith based events,
one on one ministry time, hosting student led worship services and leading and
participating in small group bible studies. I initially applied to be an SMC because I
wanted to be in a position where I was able to share my faith and how the Lord has
met me in my life with my fellow students.
With all the encouraging things the Lord has been doing through our ministry, a big struggle I’ve been
facing is covering all my tuition costs as a college student. As some of you may know, the only reason I
am at this university is because the Lord made a way for me to be here. I work part time in the
admissions department in my university to help cover my costs but that only makes a minimal difference
for my financial need. I honestly don’t know how the Lord has provided this far and kept me here., but Revelation Seven Nine has been a big part of that. I could not have been here by my own will or the efforts of my parents.
