Woman, 72, finishes NOBTS doctor of ministry degree

At age 72, Stephanie Friend recently earned her doctor of ministry degree from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.

Her research focused on how to equip women in intercultural discipleship skills.

“God has given me this passion, and once He does that, you just don’t have any peace until you follow,” Friend said.

Friend now looks forward to equipping other women to follow God’s call to take the gospel to the nations, wherever the path may lead.
