Job Title: BMM Missionary (Oberpfraundorf, Germany)
How Faith Prepared Me: “My education at Faith has been indispensable to my current ministry. Through my classes, I gained a deeper knowledge of God’s Word, I learned how to properly exegete and effectively communicate God’s Word, and I learned the value of leading and teaching women in the church. I am so thankful for my time at Faith and how it has prepared me to serve God as a missionary in Germany. Being an RA allowed to me to put into practice what I was learning in my counseling classes and all of that has helped me immensely in working with teens and women today.”
