What first inspired you to get into your line of work? And what motivates you to do the work you do still today?
I was blessed by partnering with this program for my own children. Over the years, I witnessed the beauty of the discipleship element along with the academic excellence and I felt called to invest in the ministry. I believe this is one of the ways the Lord is calling me to participate in fulfilling the Great Commission.
How did you come to faith in Christ?
The Lord used Christian educators during my early grade school years as the primary means of delivering the gospel message and discipleship. Through their testimonies and incorporation of Biblical Worldview, I came to see the holiness of God as our creator, my human condition as a fallen sinner in need of a Savior, and the hope of redemption and eternal life that Christ secured for his children, through his life, death, and resurrection.
How does your faith impact the way you run this program?
I believe that Christ’s redemption and reconciliation of His children allows me to be free from the sin that enslaves, to live for Him. I believe that as a redeemed person, I have the privilege of participating in the Great Commission. Since PEP’s vision encompasses the Great Commission, I consider my life as a living testimony to call others to come and see the glory of God. My prayer is through that encounter, students will understand the truth of the gospel, be transformed by the power of the Spirit, and seek to join in the fulfillment of the Great Commission.
What ministry/cause do you champion and why?
As the current PEP Mason Administrator my passion is to support parents who desire to homeschool their children by providing them with a Christ-centered, academically challenging, hybrid approach to education in 6th-12th grades.
