The Good News Award is an initiative of the NTS Alumni Association to recognize the contribution of four alumni during the Seminary’s 75th-anniversary celebration. Luke 4:18-19 served as an anchor text for these awards. In Fall 2020, NTS alumni nominated and voted upon candidates identified as persons of grace and integrity who have made outstanding contributions to kingdom work in and beyond the local church. The recipients of the Good News Awards are as follows:
