How I got to Regent:

We were preparing for a career in missions. I was expecting our first child and knew I was looking at my last convenient opportunity to do more theological studies, so I joined my husband at Regent.

Most important lesson from Regent:

Diversity in the body of Christ is a good thing.

Regent memories:

My favourite Regent memory is from a course with Miriam Adeney on women in mission. We had a great time doing dramatizations of the lives of historical women who served as leaders in cross-cultural missions. God used these powerful leaders in amazing ways to bring the gospel to parts of the world where it was previously unknown—and I had never even heard of them before! I’m still grateful for the opportunity to learn about and celebrate these truly unsung heroes.

In another Miriam Adeney course, we did a project on education for missionaries’ children—there were far fewer options on that front thirty years ago. That project informed the choices we made for our own children’s schooling.

Keeping in touch:

It has been interesting to see how many Regent alumni we’ve met over the years and on various continents. And some of our friends have become Regent faculty!

Why I support Regent today:

My husband and I have made a point of making yearly contributions to institutions and organizations that were formative in our own spiritual journeys, knowing that they are well placed and well equipped to make an impact in the lives of others. It’s an investment in our world and in eternity.
