From the Kiyo Motoda Christian Scholarship Fund Committee – Kim Chen, Laura Saiki, Sharon Okamoto:

Presby’s 2025 Kiyo Motoda Christian Scholarship is $1,500 awarded to Edward de Lafayette as he faithfully fulfills Christ’s call to serve in ministry.

Edward begins his third year of studies at Princeton Theological Seminary and is discerning a call to be a hospice chaplain.

“I’m passionate about end-of-life care. I want to give comfort and peace and walk with people as they work through spiritual and existential questions.”

Thank you, Presby, for supporting the commitment of late Elder Kiyo Motoda to encourage and support students who are enrolled in an accredited Christian seminary or Bible college and who are responding to the call of God and entering some form of professional Christian ministry.
