Launching fireworks is one of my favorite ways to celebrate our country’s Declaration of Independence. With The 4th just a couple of days away, I can’t stop thinking about an important Chinese holiday called National Day. I learned about National Day last October 1st, while witnessing the largest fireworks show in the world. This Doctorate…

In addition, it ends with the collective voices from the program singing the Doxology. Over the course of the 10 + years I have been in the corporate world I have been fortunate to be…

The “2016 London-Oxford Advance” was my first “face-to-face” experience as a new student in the Doctor of Ministry in Leadership and Global Perspectives program at George Fox Evangelical Seminary. Throughout this twelve-day experience, my head was filled with new thoughts and ideas as we were introduced to many great leaders and thinkers. Yet, beyond the…

Overwhelmed does not even begin to explain the George Fox London advance. While I have had the privilege to travel all over the world, surprisingly I had never set foot on European soil. Never could I imagine to have such a remarkable experience. Due to the fact that I have a love for all things…

I headed to Hong Kong with a different perspective than our Cape Town advance. My heart and mind was filled with expectation of being with dear friends.
