Brandon Smith

Choosing between a calling and a life passion can be difficult. Just ask Brandon Smith. “I chose Youth and Family Ministry because I have always had a heart to work with youth,” Brandon commented. “I feel I have been called to this ministry. But Criminal Justice is the field I have always wanted to do.”

Brandon did not feel torn about where to go to school. He knew MNU was the place. “I felt that MidAmerica was the right school for me, not only to go further into academics, but more importantly, to grow in my spiritual relationship with God.”

Brandon has also grown at MNU through his plethora of activities: football, yell leading, Black Student Union, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Bible studies, Intramurals, volunteering through different ministries, and being an active member at his church. This year, Brandon will add even more to his plate, serving as a Residential Assistant in one of the men’s dorms.

Brandon finds his scholarships offer him much-needed encouragement.

“I know I have to work hard, and I’m willing to do that.”
