Can you share some highlights or meaningful moments from your life since you graduated  from LSTC?

Relocation and New Facility, Bethany Lutheran, Olean, NY

Covenant Mission Partnership, Bethlehem Lutheran and St. Martin Lutheran, Penfield and  Webster, NY

Intentional Interim Ministry, St. Paul’s Lutheran, Liverpool, NY; Christ Church Episcopal,  Manlius, NY

How has your LSTC experience shaped your journey?

Relationships with international students enriched my perspectives and my ministry. A  solid theological background undergirded my preaching and teaching.

Do you have any words of encouragement for current students?

The Holy Spirit will prepare for ministry today and lead you to learn and adapt to challenges  and changes in the years to come, as the Spirit did for me.
