A Defining Moment
"While attending college as a physical education major on a national PE scholarship, a knee injury became my defining moment. I felt God’s clear call to change my focus from teaching high school physical education to gospel-centered vocational ministry. This change of focus dove-tailed with my earlier conversion story when at the age thirteen, I saw the movie, “A Man Called Peter,” at a junior high church social, which prompted a dual call on the same evening—to give my life to Jesus Christ and to become a pastor’s wife someday. After I had served alongside Dave, my pastor husband in four churches, focusing my ministry on women, God’s clear call changed again to a focus on training women to live out their gospel-centered ministry dreams for the glory of God."
