Become a Sponsor

Why Be A Sponsor?

West Africa Theological Seminary (WATS) would not exist without its people - the Faculty and the Students. Both are essential -- both are called -- both are in need of our support. You may not be able to go as a missionary, but you can maximize your impact on the Kingdom, by supporting either a faculty member or a student. They will take the Gospel to their people in ways you could not.

What Is A Sponsor?

Being a sponsor of WATS is more than just a monetary commitment. It is entering into a relationship with your student or faculty partner, sharing prayer requests, regularly praying for each other, and investing in each other's lives. Following your commitment to sponsor a WATS student or faculty member, your will receive information on how to connect and communicate with them at WATS.

How To Be A Sponsor

FACULTY

STUDENT
