I became a Christian my freshman year at what was then Ï㽶ÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø Pacific College. It was the genuine faith of students, faculty and staff (notably my Bible and Spanish teacher, Leslie Mark) that persuaded me.
My sophomore year, I met a new transfer student, Sonya Kriegbaum, who I married my junior year. By my senior year, as I was already an interim pastor.
Suffice to say the school changed my life! I was grounded in faith and captivated by the Kingdom during my four years of living on campus. I am still living off of that profound encounter to this day.
