Why God lead me to C3@LBC

This position was an answer to prayer for my wife and me. We had been asking God and considering what might be the next step in my career progression. When this position was first made known to me, I just knew it was where I needed to be. I was really praying that it was where God wanted me to be. I believe that issues and concerns that are addressed during this time in an individual’s life could provide for tremendous growth opportunities as they mature and develop in their faith and career progression.

Why I counsel at LBC?

I love working with college age students. So much happens during those four years in terms of gaining independence, formulating a worldview, and cementing one’s faith. I consider it a privilege to journey alongside these young adults as they learn and grow.

Why I counsel at LBC?

Having been a student myself I do understand the needs, struggles and challenges which a student face in day to day life. LBC gives me an opportunity to use God’s word as a source through which I can walk along with these students in their journey. It is a blessing to equip students with tools which can support them to face these challenges and enrich their experiences of being a student at LBC.
