KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary trustees and administrators broke ground Oct. 21 for a “Walk of Honor” on the site of the former Farmland, Inc., property acquired adjacent to the Kansas City campus. The groundbreaking ceremony for the walkway with donor-purchased bricks capped off Midwestern trustees’ Oct. 20-21 meeting and signaled the launch of Midwestern’s $2.1 million capital campaign: “The Vision: Growing Disciples Today To Make Disciples Tomorrow.”
“Today marks a vital step in the development of Midwestern Seminary,” President Phil Roberts said. “As we consider the marvelous opportunity to memorialize those who have contributed to our lives in the service of Christ [on the Walk of Honor], let’s also honor them by being faithful with the opportunity to advance Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.”
The campaign includes a memorial fund for former Midwestern students Dr. Martha Myers and William Koehn, International Mission Board missionaries who were killed last December while serving at the Baptist hospital in Yemen. More than $500,000 already has been raised.
