DONOR PROFILE
PAUL ’63 AND ELAINE WENGERT ’57 HEARTS FOR SERVICE The Heritage Society at Messiah College is made of those who have included Messiah in their estate plans; have established a scholarship endowment at Messiah; or have a charitable annuity or trust with the College. This group of supporters ensures the College’s sustainability, and we are thankful for their commitment to our Christian educational mission. Dr. Paul Wengert ’63 attended Messiah College and graduated from Temple University Medical School. He served faithfully and compassionately as a surgeon for many years. His wife, Elaine (Crider) Wengert ’57, is a graduate of the Messiah Academy and continued her education to pursue a mathematics degree. She later worked in accounting. The Wengerts are Heritage Society members for two reasons: Their inclusion of Messiah in their wills and their establishment of the Wengert Humanitarian Service Award. This award is given to students majoring in the health and natural sciences who wish to serve on a short-term national or international missions trip focusing in key areas, such as medical relief and care; shelter and food provision; and clean water. The award’s goal is to introduce students who have a true heart for service to the transformational experience of working and living in another culture. The Wengerts also have been supporters of the Friends of the Murray Library program. The couple said, “While there are many reasons to support Messiah College, two reasons stand out for us: the Murray Library and Messiah’s cross-culture programs. Both give an opportunity for the student to explore and gather ideas beyond the classroom. Both open the eyes to a wider world in which we live.” We are blessed and encouraged by Heritage Society members like the Wengerts who are helping to ensure the long-term financial strength of Messiah College.
