I am a graduate of Crown College in St. Bonifacious, MN.  I am currently working on finishing my masters in Transformational Leadership from Bethel Seminary, in St. Paul MN.<\/p>\n<h3>Bio<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Spiritual journey:<\/strong> I am thankful to Jesus for they journey he has led me on thus far.  I came to know Jesus in a personal way in high school when a friend invited me to a small group that was sponsored by the Covenant church in Fairmont, MN.  I had an intense conversion experience that changed everything for me.  From that point I began to discover God&#8217;s plan for my life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Call to ministry:<\/strong> I had a sense early on in my walk with Jesus that he was calling me give him my whole life and surrender to him.  After high school I felt led to attend Youth with a Mission (YWAM) to establish further growth in my walk with God.  After that I attended Minnesota State University where I received a scholarship in theatre.  At that time God made it clear using those gifts for him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How long have you been involved in ministry?<\/strong> I have been involved with student ministry full-time since 1998.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you think is important that we know about you, as a member of the Speaker Team?<\/strong> For most of my years of youth ministry I have focused on leading and shepherding junior high and middle school students.  I believe it is a strategic age to reach young people for Jesus Christ.  I am excited about leadership and developing others to do the work of Christ in their realm of influence.  I am excited to use created means (like drama) to communicate spiritual truths to young people.  In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, and going on geocaching adventures. It is a privilege to be able to serve in any way I can!<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-report-this\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/ywupdate?moderation_action=report_form&#038;object_type=post&#038;object_id=1955&#038;width=250&#038;height=300\" class=\"thickbox\" title=\"Report This Post\">Report This Post<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2190 back to Speaker Team Info Seminars: We\u2019re Here to Serve Currently serving as: Pastor of Student Ministries at Faith Covenant Church, Burnsville,MN Credentials: .
