Something good.

Speaking of dinner, if you could share a meal with anyone, dead or alive… who would it be?

What do you love to do here at MVC?
I love helping Jr. highers understand God and His Word and what they have to do with everyday life. The reality is that most Jr. highers don’t see themselves as God does and are desperately trying to measure up to the world’s warped views. Helping them see themselves and the world as God does is a lot of fun and it is very rewarding to be a part of what God is doing in their lives, whether that means sharing God’s truth with them, loving them the way God does or just playing together. And as if that’s not enough, I get to work with a great volunteer staff who are still kids at heart and love doing the same thing.
