Hi. I'm Sarah Mae Gabuyo!

"My home was in Italy, so I didn’t have the chance to do a campus visit prior to becoming a student. It was the warm hospitality I received from Admissions and the financial support largely provided by Wesley that made for a smooth transition to be a seminarian on another continent and confirmed for me that I was in the right place, where God wanted me to be.

Wesley provided me a warm community away from home, enabling me to live daily the global aspect of the United Methodist Church. I appreciated the significant practicum ministry training in Washington: a two-year ministry internship with Capitol Hill UMC and as a chaplain intern at Georgetown University Hospital . All these experiences strengthening my call to ministry."

Hi. I'm Joshua Kuramoto!

"I was born in Japan, grew up in Seattle, and have served as a UMC Global Ministries missionary in Germany, working with migrants and refugees. When choosing my seminary, the diversity that exists within Wesley's community and academia, and its location within the D.C. area, solidified Wesley as the seminary for me."
