About Our People

January 20th, 2014

Sarita Gallagher (Religious Studies) published an article, “Blessing on the Move: The Outpouring of God’s Blessing through the Migrant Abraham,” in the latest issue of Mission Studies journal.

Jan Lefebvre (University Advancement) traveled to Haiti once again Jan. 6-15. While there, she worked with women from the U.S. distributing gifts to children, mothers and babies; worked in prayer ministry in the village of Grand Goave; helped with home building; and shared in music, teaching and testimony. “I think it just may have been one of, if not the, best trip I’ve been blessed to experience of the 15 I’ve made – especially witnessing a father accept the Lord,” she said.

Rodney Birch (Library – Newberg) and Jane Scott (Library-Newberg) had two articles published in the December 2013 issue of The Christian Librarian: Journal of the Association of Christian Librarians. The articles were titled “Wesleyan-Holiness Digital Library Becomes a Reality” and “Employing Pedagogical Imagination with Open Educational Resources.”
