After receiving my degree at LABC, I went on to Biola and got my marriage and family degree. I’ve now been a biblical counselor for 45 years — during which I also married and raised three children. When my kids added up the numbers, that’s about 55,000 hours of counseling over the years. About 15 years ago, I lost my husband and have really been able to practice what I’ve told others over the years: Jesus is sufficient to meet our every need.

In this season, I’m a grandmother while also caring for my 92-year-old mother. I have an ongoing commitment to Bible Study Fellowship, and am also a member of my local Pray Chico group where locals meet to pray for the city. As I’ve lessened my counseling hours, I’ve been able to spend more time enjoying roses (my lifelong love), photography, and most recently, writing prayer poetry.

This has been a very joyful season of my life, perhaps more so than any other because I’ve been walking with Jesus longer than ever before. God has used everything in my life for good—even the losses. As a grieving teenager, I gave the Lord one year at LABC, and He worked through all of that so I could in turn become a grief shepherd, helping others to navigate the hardships of life. It’s been such a privilege.

LABC set a wonderful, biblical foundation for my life, and at the 50 year mark several women in my graduating class had a reunion in California. After the reunion, we continued to stay in touch, and we still have a group chat where we pray for one another. The sweet fellowship with Christian sisters who love Jesus and one another has been such an epic blessing of LABC, now TMU.

Since 2018, I have been seeking to serve Christ through planting and pastoring Compass Bible Church Treasure Valley in Idaho. The Boise area has been one of the fastest growing in the nation, so it has a great need for more churches grounded in God’s Word and proclaiming a biblical gospel. With thousands of people moving into this community, it is an incredible joy to see many encounter expository preaching for the first time and experience the revival that can only come from the Bible. I’m so thankful for the biblical convictions and love for the local church that were developed during my time at TMC, and it’s a real pleasure to have several other alumni here at our church serving in various ways. At home, my wife, Holly, and I are also working to raise up the next generation in the discipline and instruction of the Lord through our five kids – Hannah, Mac, Jones, Watson, & Brooks.

Bryan (a Singaporean) and Jordan (a Californian) began their friendship as classmates at TMU in the Masters in Biblical Counseling program together from 2015-2017. Not long after they both graduated, they married each other and moved to Singapore where Bryan served as a youth pastor. In 2024, they moved to Louisville, KY for seminary education, together with their three children: Lincoln, Emmett, and Abigail. Bryan is currently in his last year of Seminary and they will be returning back to Singapore at the end of 2027 to continue pastoring at The ‘Fisherman of Christ’ Fellowship.

After completing an M.Div at Northwest Baptist Seminary in Tacoma, WA, I came to TMU for additional studies in worship music, graduating in 2004 with a degree in church music. I remain incredibly thankful to the Lord for the opportunity to study under such godly professors who thoroughly equipped me for the ministry ahead. My time participating in the Chorale, Collegiate Singers, and Handbell Ensemble provided not only rigorous musical training but also an amazing experience that still impacts me today. TMU holds an extra special place in our hearts, as it is also where I met my wife, Julie.

Our overarching desire has always been “To Know Christ and to Make Him Known.” For the past 16 years, we have been blessed to live and minister in South Asia, where we raise our three children. Over the years, the Lord allowed us to start a children’s home and foster 47 children; today, we continue to partner with another local children’s home, as well as several local ministries.

Currently, our primary ministry is serving as seminary professors, teaching theology, choir and the Bible, leading worship for the campus, and mentoring students who arrive from all over South Asia. We are actively involved in our local church, where we assist with worship leadership and I have the privilege of preaching expository sermons with a couple of other men. We are deeply grateful for how TMU shaped our foundation for this life of service to Christ.

God has given me an opportunity to work with a sports team in Japan during this season of life, and through it, He has also given me opportunities to minister to players, staff, and the community. By God’s grace, I am doing my best to be a faithful gospel witness to those around me.

Sometimes that looks like rebounding for players late at night, sharing meals with them, helping them adjust to life in Japan, inviting them to church, or sharing God’s Word when the right opportunity comes. I have had opportunities to invite some players to Bible study and Sunday service. God has also allowed me to share the gospel with some players, staff, and my boss, and reminding players God’s word when they feel nervous, especially right before tip off.

Through my work, I have also seen many of my own weaknesses. As I seek His help and depend on Him, He has given me His strength and grace to supply what is lacking and help me take another step with courage. When I am discouraged, He provides peace through His love and leads me to share His love even when it is difficult. When my heart is troubled, He proves His faithfulness to me and leads me to trust Him more.

I am also continuing to pray for my family and minister to them by sharing who God is, talking about the Bible, and sharing what He is teaching me through His Word and through different circumstances in my life.

At the same time, I am learning more about Japanese culture and seeking to discern biblically, especially the line between culture and religion. I hope to use this season to better understand Japan and prepare myself to serve the Japanese church more faithfully and effectively in the future.

My constant desire has always been to serve God well by stewarding the time and resources He has given me and giving Him all the glory wherever I am. In this season, my husband and I have opened our home to foster children ages 6-18 and have enjoyed seeing the Lord work in their hearts, in ours, and in our friends’ and family’s hearts as they come alongside us to instruct them in the Lord. It has challenged us to be doers of the Word, as we have often seen that our home is their first exposure to who God is, what the gospel is, and what it means for their lives. As a biblical counseling major, I also wanted to work somewhere where I could share the gospel and offer people hope for change. The Lord allowed me to begin working at a pro-life Pregnancy Resource Center, where I now serve as Center Director. There, God has allowed me the blessing to meet women in crisis who are considering abortion and give them hope through the gospel and by sitting and opening God’s Word with them. Other ways we seek to serve Christ include our involvement in our church through different ministries, our support of missionaries, and our striving to be faithful witnesses to unbelievers in our day-to-day lives. My husband’s and my daily conviction is that our time on this earth is limited; how will we honor and serve the Lord today?

In 2019, I moved back to Lobos, Argentina (my hometown) with my husband, two kids and a third on the way. My husband is a pastor of our local church and the Academic Dean of a TMAI Training Center. Since moving to the mission field, I have not been involved in any “formal” ministry, other than helping in the church nursery. At first, this was hard for me, not because I wanted a formal ministry role, but because I thought about how many people (donors, teachers, preachers, and my parents) invested in my studies at TMU. I consider myself uniquely blessed to have been exposed to such quality teaching, and I feel responsible as a steward of the gifts and opportunities I have received. Nevertheless, as years go by, I have personally grown to understand and appreciate the great wisdom of God in creating the roles of wife, mother, and everyday church member. To illustrate, I now see with more clarity how being a wife is not just about endless chores; it is a way to serve God and my husband. As a wife, my perspective on life, ministry, and even God has an impact on my husband and his ministry—whether for good or for bad. This also applies to my role as a mother. In this season of life, I’m serving the Lord, primarily, by serving my husband and kids, not just with chores but seeking to be a godly testimony to them. On the other hand, I serve the Lord by making sure that my focus on the family doesn’t cause an imbalance that places the home above the importance of the local church. In other words, I also serve the Lord by fulfilling my role as a regular church member, using my gifts and training to serve the believers alongside my husband.

Ever since after I graduated from TMU in 95, got married to Susan and we joined the Athletes in Action (AIA) mission as full time missionaries. Susan and I led our first summer mission team from TMU to Brasil that year and moved to Brasil. Since then, we had received mission teams from TMU and AIA from the U.S to reach athletes in Brasil. In 2011, AIA Brasil began to serve the local churches by resourcing them with the missional sports community training. We want to come alongside to encourage and build spiritual movements. We are building movements of multiplying disciples everywhere, in sports (athletes) and through sports (local churches-communities). We are also part of a global team with AIA. We want to resource countries with the “Through Sports Strategy”, which facilitates with creativity the local believers to proclaim the gospel everywhere.

Susan and I are blessed with five children. Timothy (’20) is a professional basketball player, he uses his platform to model a Christian life. He is married to Hannah (’19) and they have two girls, Mckenna and Brooklyn. Jessica (’21) is a middle school teacher and has a big influence on her students’ lives. She teaches at a Christian school in WA, she also serves in mission trips with our family. Stephanie (’22) is a professional basketball player; she is currently recovering from a knee injury. Tiago just graduated from TMU (’26); he is married to Emma (’24) and they have a son, Mac James. Rebeca our youngest daughter is a senior in high school WA, she also serves in mission trips with us to Brasil.

Sam graduated from University of Queensland School of Medicine in 2012. He currently works as Senior Medical Officer at Gympie Hospital, Australia. He, his wife Jennifer, and their daughter Abigail actively serve at Faith Community Church. In his spare time, Sam works toward an M.Div. from Queensland Theological College and excessively talks about CrossFit.

Emily graduated from TMU with a Communications degree. Immediately upon graduating from college, she began working as a legal assistant at a small bankruptcy law firm, and her legal journey began there. She went on to earn a Paralegal Studies degree in 2018, and spent the next two years studying and working towards her M.A. in Theology at Talbot School of Theology. After many years of praying and seeking counsel about whether to continue on with her legal studies, Emily applied to and was accepted at Southwestern Law School in 2020. She earned her law degree in 2023, passed the California Bar Exam, and is licensed to practice law in California. She currently works as an employment law attorney and, apart from work, is actively involved in her church, Reality L.A.

Daniel and Desiree met at TMU and married in 2018. Together they serve at Foothill Bible Church in Upland, CA in small group and mens’ ministry. Daniel works for the City of Los Angeles as a firefighter, and a Fire Chaplain. Desiree enjoys life homemaking and caring for their four boys. Their prayer is to always shine brightly for Christ wherever He places them!

Benjamin, after completing a four-year soccer career at TMU, returned to his home in Lilongwe, Malawi where he was involved in his local church, International Bible Fellowship, teaching the youth on a weekly basis. He is using his degree in International Business as a platform for evangelism and serving the local church. Most recently, Benji is studying at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Kansas City to receive his M.Div in biblical languages, and after completing his degree will return to teach Hebrew and Greek at TMAI’s Central African Preaching Academy, and will Lord-willing be involved in Bible translation work, alongside his church involvement.

Mark and Kristen have lived in Tyler, Texas, since they married in 1995. Kristen has worked as a realtor and property manager for 20 years, and Mark is retiring after being an art teacher for the last three decades. They have three boys and a daughter-in-law: Price and Emily (Scott) Anderson (’22), who are expecting their first child this year, Hansen (’26), and Luke (’29). They continue to be thankful for and humbled by God’s grace, mercy, and provision for their family, as well as their lasting foundation and friends from TMC.

Austin and Heather and their two boys live in Amman, Jordan, where Austin teaches Old Testament and biblical Hebrew at Jordan Evangelical Theological Seminary. They attend a vibrant, ethnically diverse church where Austin serves in leadership and regularly preaches with Heather as his Arabic-English translator. When she’s not at home with their sons, Heather might be drinking tea with Syrian, Palestinian, Jordanian, and Iraqi women or writing about Middle Eastern culture. (Her memoir-in-essays, Beyond the Jordan, released last summer and is a Foreword INDIES finalist.) Though they have faced burnout, mental illness, and faith crises in the last decade, Austin and Heather praise God for his lovingkindness, which repeatedly guides them through low valleys to fruitful flourishing.

Ethan has worked for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife for five years, first as a Fish Research Biologist and most recently as a District Fish Biologist. After graduating from The Master’s University he went to the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point where he earned a M.S. degree in Fisheries. He and his wife, McKenzie, who he met in Wisconsin, have two sons.

Elizabeth graduated from The Masters College with a degree in Physical Education and also earned a Teaching Credential in Biology. After teaching and coaching in private schools for four years, she realized (with the support and help from her late husband Neal) that her true calling was in veterinary medicine, and graduated from The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1998. She and Neal chose to stay in the Columbus, OH area and raise a family, having two sons, Daniel and Zachary. Elizabeth stays active in her local church and enjoys pickleball and gardening.

Nick and Britney have seen the Lord’s faithfulness in their lives, being anchored in His word and maturing in their faith in ways that can only be attributed to Him. They moved from Tempe, AZ to New Orleans, LA to plant a church and are welcoming their sixth child in November. Nick is growing his real estate business in AZ and LA serving sellers, buyers, investors, and tenants while also pursuing personal real estate investment opportunities. He also works for the State of Arizona doing auditing, business process improvement, and consulting as Lean Six Sigma black belt, and has recently added the role of Continuous Improvement Engineer at Foundation Finance Company to his repertoire of vocations. Britney labors faithfully in the home as a stay-at-home-mom of five while home schooling the kids. God is good continues to grow their love for His Word and His church.

Emmy graduated from TMU with a degree in Communications with an emphasis in Cinema & Digital Arts. After graduation, she moved back to her hometown of Greenville, SC, to begin working as a TV and commercial producer at Electric Soul Productions. Emmy has since worked with various brands including BMW, Michelin Tires, Lowes Home Improvement, and Magnolia Network and has reached her career goal of winning an Emmy award. Now moving into freelance production, Emmy is still producing and continues to seek to help everyone she encounters see beauty in the life offered to us through Jesus.

Becky and I served together at Bethel Baptist Church in Torrence, California during most of our college and seminary training. Our first ministry after schooling was a one-year intern youth pastorate in Lynden, Washington at Grace Baptist Tabernacle. In 1974 we moved to Wilson Creek, Washington to pastor the Grace Baptist Church for 5 years. In 1980 we moved to Seattle, Washington to pastor the historic Tabernacle Baptist Church. The congregation moved to Shoreline in 1983, and we are still here, beginning our 46th year of ministry at “Tab.”

God gave us 8 children, 33 grandchildren, and 4 great-children.

We came to the church in 1980 and have been heavily involved in the Camp Gilead ministry. Our congregations from both Wilson Creek and Tabernacle have attended often. My daughter Kimberly Mallory served as the Program Director for 25 years. She and I led dozens of Hymn Sings over the years.

I have had the privilege of serving the Lord by speaking in India, South Africa, Brazil, Niger, Ethiopia, Northern Ireland, as well as visiting Italy, Israel, Holland, Jordan, Egypt, Singapore, France, Mexico, Ivory Coast, and Canada. At the age of 77, my desire is to mentor the next pastor of this church, turn it over to him, and serve the rest of the days of my life in the Lord’s Work where I am needed. I don’t plan on retiring, warming a pew, or disappearing from people, whether saved or lost.

In this season of life, I have the privilege of serving Christ as a wife, mother, educator, and servant in my local church. God has blessed me with a wonderful husband, Raul, and three precious children: Emma, Lidia, and Matias. My desire is to care for my family, disciple my children, and cultivate a home that reflects the grace and truth of Christ.

After graduating from The Master’s College with a degree in Teaching Education, I had the opportunity to teach in several schools. Today, I have the blessing of homeschooling my own children while also teaching in a hybrid educational community and serving as a teacher in the children’s ministry at my church. Through these opportunities, the Lord has deepened my love for teaching the young, and my prayer is that I would point children to Christ, encourage a love for God’s Word and His truth, and help them understand that all of life is to be lived for His glory.

I am deeply grateful for the lasting impact The Master’s College has had on my life. The biblical foundation I received there continues to influence every area of my life, from my family and teaching to my involvement in the local church. It is a joy and privilege to serve the Lord in these areas, and I pray that He will continue to equip me by His grace to do so in a manner that brings glory to His name.

By God’s grace, I began serving as the Assistant Director of SEPE International in 2025. SEPE (The Seminary for Expository Preaching) serves all of Latin America by offering a Master of Divinity degree with an emphasis in expository preaching. The SEPE International program, which I am a part of, is the seminary’s revenue-generating arm that helps keep tuition affordable for our M.Div. students. I am privileged to serve in this role by facilitating short-term mission (STM) trips. When SEPE students and alumni need assistance in their local churches — whether for vacation Bible schools, conferences, construction, or evangelism — they communicate those needs to me. I then connect them with U.S.-based churches and ministries that can send STM teams to accomplish these projects.

Bora and Bunry Chheang have served with ACTION Cambodia for 15 years. They have one daughter and are in the process to adopt to sons. Their main focus is with the translation team, where Bora is the translation team leader. Together, they work on writing, developing, and translating biblical resources for the churches of Cambodia to make known the name of Jesus Christ, empower the local church to grow and multiply, disciple believers to disciple others, evangelize the lost, etc. Bora has authored a book entitled A Brief Introduction to the Bible, which briefly outlines each book of the Bible. He has also been involved with multiple other projects that have been published. A few current books include “The Confessions of Augustine,” printed in 2022, and “The Family Life of a Christian Leader,” scheduled to print in June 2023. His team works with Crossway, Union Publisher, Tim Challies, and many more.

Bora serves with Shalom Phnom Penh Thmey as a lay elder and preaches regularly. Both Bora and Bunry also invest heavily in dorm ministries, opening up their home for meals and allowing students to do laundry when they come.

ACTION Cambodia was started by TMC alums. In 2002, Daren and Jodi Beck and BJ and Andrea Lopez and Nathan Wells started to work in Cambodia. I (Bora) was one of the “kids” that they invested in at the time because I was raised in an orphanage. Rena Chheang and Pahnette Chheang (my two biological sisters) are also graduates of the school.

Matt and Kara Rehrer live in Concord, CA with their three children. Matt is an emergency medicine physician practicing in the San Francisco Bay Area. A few years ago, Matt shifted to a staff position as executive pastor and an elder at NorthCreek Church, while continuing his medical work on a part-time basis. This unique blend of medicine and pastoral ministry allows Matt to address both physical and spiritual suffering. He has authored Redeeming Memory (2022), which explores how God transforms painful memories through the gospel, and When Sleep Won’t Come (2026), offering biblical hope for those battling insomnia and sleep-related struggles. These resources equip biblical counselors and sufferers alike. Making all this possible, Kara supports Matt with her biblical counseling degree from TMU, assisting in church ministry and their home. Together, they thank the Lord for their children, who are growing up quickly amid this vibrant season of family life.

Scott and I are enjoying this new stage of life as empty nesters. With all four of our children having attended TMU over the last 10 years, we have enjoyed staying connected to the university through them.  Most recently, Scott was asked to teach an Agricultural Marketing class at TMU which was an unexpected blessing. With the experience he has gained as Chief Executive Officer of Homegrown Organic Farms over the last 12 years this was a good fit. Beyond this, we love serving the body of Christ at Living Word Fellowship in Porterville, CA – Scott as an elder, and I as a women’s Bible study teacher. In our down time, we enjoy traveling to see our kids and grandkids, adventuring in the great outdoors, and taking care of our home and its surrounding acreage.

My passion and calling is to serve the most vulnerable children both around the world working with World Vision and advocating for children in foster care as single foster dad, adoptive dad, and speaking here in the USA for the most vulnerable.

I am currently the video production director at Grace Community Church and have gotten to work on countless projects serving both the local and global church. I have been fortunate to work with numerous other ministries around the country and assisting them with creating video content that meets their specific needs in furthering the gospel. I also love serving the local church in music ministry and have been leading worship and serving in the band for multiple churches and camps around the world. I get to share both my work and ministry passions with my wife Anika, and we enjoy working and serving together in many different capacities. 

Kyle is originally from a small town in Colorado, and Christine is from southern California. Their journey together began during their studies at The Master’s University. They both studied biblical languages in the TMU Bible program. They both also were in IBEX in 2012 where they became good friends. In 2013 Kyle and Christine were married and Kyle continued his studies at The Master’s Seminary. Throughout seminary, it was Kyle’s desire to go to a place where biblical teaching was hard to come by. One day at lunch, he met a seminary student from Poland who explained the great need for biblical teaching and training in Poland. In this country dominated by Roman Catholicism, the need of the hour is two-fold: evangelism and training. Kyle and Christine hope and pray that they are helping to meet those needs.

The Ricedorffs made the move to Poland to begin ministry in the summer of 2019. They are serving the local church in Poland outside of Warsaw. Kyle is one of the pastors and is involved in teaching, preaching, and discipleship. He also serves in the Logos Bible Institute where students from all over Poland are coming to learn the Scriptures. The goal is to help train up a future generation of pastors and church planters so that the gospel will go forth mightily in Poland, by God’s grace. Please pray that God will strengthen them and bless their ministry efforts.

I am extremely thankful for the world-class business education and biblical worldview I received from The Master’s University. It has equipped me to be faithful in building my career, leading my family, and serving Christ and His church. Today, I work in business development in the restoration industry at in South Florida, a field often known for fraud and a lack of integrity.

The other day, a business partner asked our owner, “Why are you and your people so different?” He simply said it is because of the work Christ has done in our lives. We regularly receive questions like this, which open doors to share the gospel and what Christ has done in us.

Unfortunately, Christians don’t always have the strongest reputation in the workplace. That should not be the case. We ought to build excellent companies, provide excellent service, and produce excellent work, laboring as if the Lord is watching every moment—because He is, as Proverbs reminds us.

After being away from Los Angeles for 20 years, doing various pastoral roles and nonprofit work, we’ve recently relocated back to Los Angeles to help take care of parents and to work at Children’s Hunger Fund as the reach of the ministry is growing. My wife and I are seeking to raise and homeschool our four boys that range from 1 to 11 years old. Our greatest desire is to see them walking with the Lord and become godly men.

Scott is currently employed by Cisco Systems as a Global Benefits leader. I (Sandi) am still a stay at home mom as my youngest has special needs and still needs me at home. Scott and I both are very involved in our local church, NorthCreek Church, in Walnut Creek. I volunteer as a women’s Bible study leader, and volunteer with the youth group on Wednesday nights. Scott leads a group of young men at youth group as well. We are both deeply committed to our community group which we attend 2 Sundays a month. We have four boys, two of whom claim Christ. Our oldest is married and we seek to be an encouragement to him and our lovely daughter-in-law. Scott and I are learning a lot in a very serious season of trials that the Lord has brought to us. We are grateful for our marriage and each other.

It was at a church planting class with Brad Buser during which I, Stacey, became utterly persuaded that unless I had a reason to stay in the US, I should go into missions. I couldn’t think of a reason to stay, so I made myself available to the Lord to go. In Buser’s class we continued to study God’s heart for the nations from Genesis to Revelation and I was persuaded that missions was a biblical necessity. Further, Buser called us to see this life as a time of labor and the next life as a time of rest. He said, “Don’t you want to stand before God with a people group you have labored to offer to Christ?” Through that class, the comforts of America and of living close to family grew “strangely dim.” A restlessness in my soul started to grow; a restlessness that continued to grow until I moved overseas as a missionary. We have been laboring in Cameroon in Bible translation and church planting for ten years now, and it has been harder than I could have ever imagined. That being said, I know that presenting these Kwakum people as an offering to Jesus one day will make us forget all of the pain. If I hadn’t gone to TMU and if I hadn’t been in Brad Buser’s class there is no doubt in my mind that I would not have gone into missions, and the Kwakum people would probably not have the Bible. I am thankful that TMU consistently put the plight of the nations before me. We are currently serving through Bible translation in Cameroon.

After graduating from TMC in May 2006, James and Kimiko got married and stayed in Santa Clarita to work. A few years later, kids came and Kimiko made the transition to a stay-at-home mom. James worked various jobs in both business and ministry, which eventually led to him starting his own Christian productivity coaching company, where he gets the joy of helping believers make the best use of their time for the glory of God. He is also the operations manager for a local real estate team and enjoys helping the team run smoothly and efficiently. Kimiko’s days are busy homeschooling their four kids and raising puppies for Guide Dogs for the Blind.

They attend Faith Community Church in Newhall, where James is an elder and serves in many capacities, including counseling and LifeGroups. Kimiko serves in children’s ministry.

I completed residency training in 2023 and currently work as an ER physician at four different hospitals in the greater Seattle area. From coughs and colds to strokes and shock, every patient interaction lends a unique opportunity to share the transforming love of Christ with a world impacted by sin. The Lord has also provided ways to serve the local church. My wife, Anna, and I became members at Redemption Hill Bible Church in 2024. We co-lead a weekly fellowship group and have been so encouraged to grow in our faith alongside the body of believers here. We are expecting our first baby boy in April 2026 and are excited to see how the Lord continues to mold and shape us as new parents!

We are serving in Jakarta, Indonesia. Our focus is on strengthening the local church, developing national leaders and church planters, and building Gospel relationships in our community.

John planted and now pastors a church, where he preaches, leads, and helps disciple members. He is also working to train and support Indonesian church planters, with the goal of seeing more healthy churches established. In addition, he oversees a biblical counseling ministry, helping individuals and families apply Scripture to real-life challenges.

Sarah runs a medical consultancy business she started to serve people in nearby urban slum communities. This work provides practical help and creates opportunities to build trust and meaningful relationships.

As a family, we are seeking to be present in our neighborhood, care for people well, and point others to Christ in everyday life.

It has been a joy for Jessica and me to serve the Lord together since 1998. Currently, we serve as full-time workers with The Expositor’s Academy (a training center of The Master’s Academy International, or TMAI) at Higher Rock Christian Church in the Philippines. I serve as the President of the school and as a professor of preaching. Jessica serves as a biblical counselor, a professor of biblical counseling, and assists with administrative responsibilities.

I have also recently helped establish a church-based missions organization in the Philippines focused on training, assessing, and sending out global workers.

For Grace Ministries International, I serve as a regional shepherd, with responsibilities that include encouraging and counseling fellow workers throughout Asia. For TMAI, I serve as the regional leader for Asia, providing personal, financial, and academic accountability for our training centers, as well as assisting in the development of new schools.

As a family, we continue to serve our seven children—three still live at home, one is studying abroad, and three are married. We are also blessed with three grandchildren from two of our married children. We seek to faithfully serve our family by praying for them and continually pointing them to Christ.

My husband and I are plugged into a local church and are so blessed by this loving community. We were serving in the high school ministry before we had our first child, and now we have a  5 month old baby girl who is beloved by her cousins, grandparents, aunties, uncles, and church family. We pray that she will grow to love God and seek to honor Him with her life. I am thankful to work near home at a compounding pharmacy where I can help patients with their medication, alongside a wonderful team. I desire to honor God with my work and integrity in all aspects of my life, and pray that God will use me well to bring Him glory. I have been privileged to be able to share my testimony before others and it is my joy to display God’s abundant goodness in my life. It reminds me how far He has brought me, and continues to do so through my sanctification. God’s faithfulness has been apparent through the church and our answered prayers. I cannot wait to see what else He has in store for us on this side of heaven, and pray that we would look to Him in rejoicing and enduring all things.

Currently my wife Beth and I are complete “empty nesters” living in Queen Creek, AZ to be close to some of our grandchildren and parents. We are blessed to have 9 grandchildren, one on the way this year and hoping for more. Our greatest desire is to invest in them spiritually while God gives us the ability. I am an owner of an orthopedic agency servicing the state of Arizona with close to 100 employees. It is my desire to put Christ on display in the orthopedic community and honor him by committing to our core values: Humble, Trustworthy, and Driven. We serve at Valley Bible Church – Gilbert. While Beth leads a Friday A.M. woman’s bible study, we also have a home group that I lead once a week. I have the privilege of working alongside the elders by overseeing small group ministry and teaching at various levels of equipping.  Aside from local church ministry I serve on two boards: TMU/S as well as Sufficiency of Scripture ministries. 

Professionally, I’ve spent 25 years in the Learning & Development and Leadership Development world, and I currently serve as an Organizational Effectiveness Consultant for a large health organization. Outside of work I’m energized by helping people grow, whether I’m coaching students preparing to enter the workplace, guest speaking at TMU classes, or supporting women navigating the twists and turns of their careers.

The 2020s have taken us across Israel, Turkey, and Greece as Jason leads TMU’s IBEX program and oversees the Turkey/Greece trips. We love watching Scripture come alive for people as they stand in the very places where biblical history unfolded – it is such a joy! When we’re not traveling, you’ll probably find us biking the Paseos in the Santa Clarita Valley or savoring a slow Saturday morning at our favorite local coffee shop. Whether at home or abroad, we love investing in people, building community, and pointing others to God’s faithful promises.

Jonathan and I, Sharon, graduated from TMS/TMU respectively, and Jonathan proceeded to pursue doctoral work. After graduation, we began serving in Samara, Russia with other global Grace Ministries International/The Master’s Academy International workers. From there, we went to the Czech Republic and helped with a church revitalization effort. Jonathan has also taught with European Bible Training Center (EBTC). Now we are helping plant a church in Geneva, Switzerland and continue to work with EBTC and ACBC (American Certification of Biblical Counselors).

Jordan and Jenny met during WOW week in 2005 in the same group. We married in December 2008 and graduated in May of 2009.  After graduating from The Master’s College, Jordan immediately started seminary. He graduated from the Master’s Seminary in 2014 and got a job first as the college pastor and then as the pastor of evangelism at Immanuel Bible Church in Springfield, Virginia. After six years serving there, we were accepted as missionaries with Grace Ministries International serving in Rome, Italy. We moved here in 2020 during Covid. After spending the first two years getting to know the language and culture we began exploring the possibility of church planting in Rome. In 2023 we began a church plant on the east side of Rome with a couple of Italian families. We have four children: Davide 16, Matteo 14, Nico 12 and Gabriella 9. After three years of public school now Jennifer homeschools them. We also get to run a publishing ministry named la voce del Vangelo started by Jordan’s grandparents almost 70 years ago. It has several books and tracts written in Italian as well as many books that have been translated into Italian some of which written by John Macarthur and others connected to Master’s. We also send out a monthly magazine all over Italy. Another opportunity we have is to help teach at a school of The Master’s Academy International here in Italy. We are so thankful for everything we learned at Master’s and are so thankful to God for allowing us to attend the best school on earth.

Daniel and Karen married in 2010, and remained in Santa Clarita for a few years before relocating to Springfield, Illinois. God provided Daniel with a job in Information Technology for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, eventually leading to a supervisor position at the local field office where he strives to be a light for Christ. Karen homeschools their four children. They serve in Bible studies and small groups at their church, Southern View Chapel. Karen is involved in ministry to young moms, and recently helped create a children’s library with biblically sound resources for parents. Both Daniel and Karen are thankful for the skills they learned and growth they experienced while at Master’s, and still enjoy keeping up with a few of their former roommates and friends.

Marc and Serena met at The Master’s College and were married in 1998.  They taught and coached in California and Idaho for 17 years before the Lord moved them into overseas ministry.  They have served as school teachers for missionary kids in São Paulo, Brazil (2015-2020) and in Mango, Togo (2023-present).  They love the ministry that God has given them through ABWE to teach the children of their missionary colleagues at The Hospital of Hope.
