How I got to Regent:

I became a Christian when I was thirty years old through a friend who brought me to her church. A Christian co-worker was also praying for me as I wrestled with the decision to accept Christ. Since becoming a Christian, it has been an amazing journey of growth: often adventurous, not always easy, but never boring!

I first came to Regent as the College’s Accounting Manager. At the time, I didn’t know much about Regent or any of its famous professors. Through working there, I came to know what Regent was about, and got to know personally Dr. James Houston, Eugene Petersen, Walt Wright, Paul Stevens, and many other faculty and staff. After about four years, I felt called to resign from my job and study full-time at Regent. I completed my MATS two and a half years later.

How my time at Regent made a difference:

Gaining an intimate relationship with Jesus changed me forever. He is the anchor in my life through many storms and challenges. It has made me into a reflective person, more self-aware. God has taught me to come to terms with the brokenness in my family and the wounds that I carried with me for so long. He healed me and I became a wounded healer, desiring to help others find healing and freedom in God.

My desire to live out what I learned at Regent eventually helped me understand my calling. I feel that I am called to be a catalyst of change in everything I do, and along the way point people to God. This has changed the way I view my work and the way I relate to people.

Why I support Regent today:

I want to support Regent and encourage others to do the same because we need more Christians to be trained by Regent and go out to touch the world, make a difference, particularly in the marketplace. Regent teaches Christians to integrate their faith into every aspect of their lives.

Only Regent people…
