Where did you graduate from and what did you study?
Joel and I
both graduated from Clemson University. Joel studied American Sign Language and I studied Special Education.
What led you to do Generation LINK?
A year and a
half ago, Joel got the opportunity and privilege of leading the SummerLINK team
to Boston. We were engaged at the time, and while he was there, he kept telling
me how much he enjoyed getting to know and learn from the leadership team at
Redemption Hill Church. Over the summer, Joel grew a great respect for Tanner
and John, the pastors of RHC and wanted to spend more time learning from them
how they led their church. That summer, before I came to visit the SummerLINK
team in Boston, Joel asked me to pray and consider if the Lord may be leading
us to move to Boston. It was during my visit that the Lord made it clear that
He was calling us to Boston. We spent time prayer walking through the city, and
it was during that time that we felt the Lord leading us to move here.
Generation-LINK provided the way for us to move to Boston, be trained
theologically and equipped in ministry under the leadership of Redemption Hill
Church.
Which location and what areas of ministry do you serve
with through Generation LINK?
Joel and I
serve at as College Ministry leaders at Redemption Hill Church in Medford, MA
(Greater Boston).
What are you most excited about in your area of
ministry?
It is our
prayer that these students would grow in their love of the Lord and commitment
to His word, and zealously share the good news of Christ with other people on
their campus and in their spheres of influence. We are most excited about
seeing Christ exalted as students come to faith and grow in their love and
knowledge of our Savior!
What 2-3 books have been most formative in your walk
with Christ?
Well besides
the Bible… :)
- “Death by
Love” by Mark Driscoll (Joel)
-“Desiring
God” by John Piper (Joel & Jen)
-“The Gospel
Primer” by Milton Vincent (Jen)
