Welcome to the inaugural issue of Testament, a publication for members of our newly-formed Presidents’ Legacy Society. In this issue, you’ll hear from Professor John Cooper about why we chose Testament as the name of your Legacy newsletter. You’ll meet Dewey and Wilma Veenstra, who have joined you and so many others as members of the Presidents’ Legacy Society. You’ll also hear from Henry Doorn, Presidents’ Legacy Society member and Executive Director of Barnabas Foundation, who spoke at our recent inaugural Legacy luncheon event. You belong to a special group of faithful people, dedicated to bearing “fruit that will last” for future generations by including Calvin Theological Seminary in their Wills or Estate Plans (or with any other Planned Gifts). By the grace of God, I look forward to working with you to build on the foundation others have laid in strengthening Calvin Theological Seminary’s ability to produce great preachers and leaders who serve the Church which serves God’s mission in this world. That foundation has been laid, in part, through the lasting legacies of our past presidents over 136 years: Geert Egbert Boer, Louis Berkhof, Samuel Volbeda, Rienk Kuiper, John Kromminga, James De Jong, and Neal Plantinga. Looking ahead, in partnership with loyal supporters like you, Calvin Theological Seminary will continue to send out students who are both theologically prepared and practically equipped to communicate the good news of the Gospel.
