Chris and Stacey both serve on the worship team at Park Community Church where Stacey sings and Chris plays drums. Chris is seeking to serve families and business owners by helping them steward what the Lord has provided as a financial advisor. Stacey is helping the next generation of ballet dancers engage with dance in a God-honoring environment as a ballet instructor. They both are striving to guide their two little ones towards a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, and it is their prayer that they continue the legacy of faith reflected in their families. They recently wrapped up a year of co-leading a community group and are looking forward to a season of dedicated “hospitality nights” where they are seeking to pursue meaningful relationships with newlyweds and other young families in their church. They had such an impactful season as newlyweds/young parents at Oak Hill Bible Church in Santa Clarita, California, and hope the Lord can use them in a similar way to minister in Minnesota.

In this season of life, the Crawfords are seeking to serve Christ faithfully in the responsibilities He has entrusted to them. Mike currently works in marketing and communications at UCLA, where he seeks to use his professional skills to serve others and represent Christ with integrity. Carly continues to care for their family while also doing freelance copywriting.

Their family has grown since graduating from TMU. Noah is now in kindergarten, and they welcomed their second son, Luke. As parents, one of the Crawfords’ greatest responsibilities is to raise their children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. They want to lead Noah and Luke with Christ-centered priorities, teaching them to love God, know His Word, and understand what it means to faithfully follow Christ. The Crawfords are also seeking to be faithful members of their local church and to serve where the Lord has given them opportunities. Much of this season has involved learning to faithfully steward the ordinary responsibilities God has given them, including their marriage, parenting, work, and service to others, while trusting His providence and wisdom. The Crawfords would appreciate prayer for continued faithfulness in their respective vocations, wisdom and patience as they raise their boys, and opportunities to faithfully represent Christ in their home, church, workplaces, and community.

Christopher recently completed a doctorate in composition at The Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University and is currently professor of composition and theory at Bob Jones University. He seeks to offer his students the kind of mentorship/discipleship that was formative to his walk with the Lord at TMU. Rebeca is an adjunct flute faculty at BJU, and she is also passionate about biblical counseling and studying theology in community with the women in their local church. Outside of teaching, Christopher is an active composer of choral and instrumental music and has had multiple sacred and concert choral pieces published by Beckenhorst Press. The Enloes are grateful to serve in their local church in both music and children’s ministry. This summer, they were thrilled to help teach a summer course in Romania (Rebeca’s home country) with Jubilate, a ministry that serves the Romanian church through songwriting, translation, and music training.

Justin and Anna are proud members of Oakhurst Baptist Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, where Anna serves in the music ministry and Justin teaches Sunday school to children. Justin currently works as a Client Success Manager at Sure Home CFO, where he focuses on sales and business development. Anna is a stay-at-home mom with their one-year-old Olivia while she is also teaching voice and piano lessons to local families.

Justin and Anna often reflect on their formative years at TMU with deep gratitude. Both their time here as students and Anna’s three years working in Student Life played an important role in shaping them. They are thankful to the Lord for the people, experiences, and spiritual foundation that TMU provided during those years.

Our hope and prayer is that, one day, we will have the opportunity to send our children to TMU!

Ben is currently serving the Lord as a husband to his wife, Anna, and a father to his three sons, Makana, Kekoa, and Kamalei. He is a lay pastor and Doctor of Physical Therapy. He has been pastoring at the church he grew up in, Heritage Christian Fellowship, since 2019. He has also owned his own mobile physical therapy practice since 2024.

After moving from Santa Clarita to Nashville, Tennessee, a few years ago, Ricardo (’19) and Ashley Diaz are now a part of Grace Community Church of Nashville. They have grown to love their new community and are thankful for their friendships, opportunities to serve, and the ways the Lord has flourished their family.

The Diazes are encouraged by the faithful preaching of God’s Word from the pulpit and the rich teaching in their Sunday school class. They look forward to joining a home community group, where they hope to continue maturing alongside other believers. Ricardo also hopes to serve on the worship team by playing drums and percussion as opportunities arise.

Currently, Ricardo serves as the director of international volunteer engagement with disability ministry Joni and Friends. He equips volunteer leaders serving in 60 countries with a global network of more than 8,000 volunteers. He is humbled and deeply encouraged to see the Lord raise up men and women who are passionate about bringing the hope of Christ to people and families living with disabilities. Ricardo loves the ministry and is grateful for the opportunity to witness God’s work around the world.

The Lord has been abundantly kind to the Diaz family, who look forward to continuing to serve Him wherever He leads. They remain grateful for the biblical foundation Ricardo received at The Master’s University and rejoice in God’s ongoing faithfulness.

Cody leads music each Sunday at Liberty Bible Church, where the Harrises attend and where TMS graduate Casey Ballard serves as pastor. Ashley serves alongside Cody in this ministry as well. The Harrises are homeschooling their children and seeking to honor the Lord in the way they approach their education. Professionally, Cody works as an adjuster for Auto-Owners Insurance while also building his real estate business, Kefi Properties, with the hope of eventually returning to full-time entrepreneurship. His goal is to provide faithfully for his family while creating greater opportunities to serve the church. In all of these areas, the Harrises seek to live under the banner of 1 Corinthians 10:31 and Romans 11:36, doing everything for the glory of God.

The Danningers are in a busy season of life with two kids at TMU and two kids home. Tim is a partner in his law firm in Florida working on cases spread throughout the country. He mentors attorneys at his law firm, some believers and some not. Being a lawyer, he has significant contact with others, from clients to other lawyers in his firm, from opposing counsel to judges. It is a particular blessing to work closely with people such that the highs or lows of their lives are part his relationship with them. Tim enjoys encouraging them with godly advice and perspective while also striving hard to exhibit Christ’s care and an eternal perspective when things in his own life don’t go as planned.  The Danningers have attended their local church since 2011 and have many great relationships. Over the years, Leala and Tim have been involved in leading a small group, participating in premarital counseling, marital counseling, and simply mentoring and discipling others.

Dorian works in Business Development for an Nvidia backed startup called Poly.ai. The founder was part of the team that created Siri for Apple. Poly.ai is a conversational AI platform that can handle customer service enquiries such as billing, scheduling appointments, and complex healthcare use cases. Poly.ai has enterprise clients such as Pacific Gas and Electric, Marriott, Volkswagen, and Gordon Ramsey Restaurants. Dorian had been serving as a deacon in his church and had been teaching 3-9 year old Sunday school classes, giving the occasional sermon. He has since stepped back from those to help TMU grads and other younger believers find jobs in tech. He is married to Amy Lou, and they have four sons: James (9), Beau (6), Roman (5), and Sutton (2), all of whom play hockey. Dorian’s goal is to be able to bench press 405 pounds, but he is stuck at 385.

Nick and Courtney have been married since 2013, and have four children (fifth child coming in September 2026). After TMC, Nick graduated from The Master’s Seminary in 2016. From 2017-2024, the Melonas family moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan, where Nick served as an associate pastor of student ministries and was ordained for the ministry. The Melonas family joined Grace Bible Church in Purcellville, Virginia, in May 2024 where Nick serves as the pastor-teacher. Courtney continues to faithfully serve the Lord in women’s ministry, children’s ministry, homemaking, homeschooling, and being a helpmate to Nick. They enjoy spending time as a family, reading, playing games, and exploring. Nick prays his ministry is marked by expository preaching, prayer, servant leadership, discipleship, mission-mindedness, and anticipating Christ’s return for the glory of God. Please pray for them as they seek to be faithful in all areas of life and ministry.

Charles is currently serving in full-time ministry at the Fisherman of Christ Fellowship (https://fcf.org.sg) church in Singapore as part of the pastoral staff. He was in the energy industry and recently entered full-time ministry. In his role as pastoral staff he is given opportunities to preach, disciple others and lead various church ministries. His church is in a season of transition, as they had a new pastor join them in 2025.

Kelly and John are currently raising four amazing, talented children and serving at their wonderful church, Cross & Crown Church, where they host a small group and teach 4th and 5th graders on Sunday mornings. Since graduating from law school at the University of Virginia, John has had the privilege of serving as outside legal counsel to ministry organizations and churches across the country, helping them with religious liberty, corporate governance, and employment law issues so they can stay true to their missions. Though their family has much still to learn, they see God’s love and faithfulness in so many ways.

Juan Fernando and Marissa got married in 2010 and moved to Ecuador shortly after. Little did they know that, as they saw the needs in Ecuador, they were trying to live out what they had learned during their time at TMC; God would have them help with a church plant. While Juan had never considered being a pastor, the Lord showed him a clear call to shepherd His flock. The ministry has blossomed into a vibrant church that houses the first ACBC center in the region and supports orphans and vulnerable children, leadership development, translation, seminary teaching, etc. On the way, God blessed them with two beautiful children whom they homeschool and who love living in the Andes.

Since moving to SC, Eric and Susannah have been involved in their church (Awaken Church) in various capacities with the worship team and youth group. At one point, they were leading a small group with their church and have both been very involved with men’s and women’s events at the church. They both work in faith-based companies and Eric tries to impact people with Christ’s love every day as a physical therapist treating patients. 

Juliette and Luke got married while still at TMC and finished out their last year there together while living in Oak Manor. After graduating, they moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, where Luke got his first job in Venture Capital and where they resided for five years. During COVID, they moved out of the Bay Area and eventually settled in Austin, Texas, where Luke continues to work on fun and exciting new technology startups as the Head of Design at 8VC, a large VC now based in Texas. Juliette and Luke have two sons now, Oliver and Charlie, and they enjoy serving in their small group and children’s ministry at church. Additionally, they often find many fun opportunities to discuss Christ, His kingdom, and His creative workmanship with designers and other believers.

Danielle wanted to be a missionary from a young age, but was prepared for a life of full-time ministry by attending TMU. Her Bible classes, chapels, and discipleship relationships grounded her in the Word and in solid doctrine. As a missionary in Uganda now for nearly 2 decades, she has often drawn from her education at TMU, especially her biblical counseling electives. God used TMU in a critical time of growth in her life, for which she is so thankful. But the greatest contribution from TMU was the opportunity of meeting her husband who was exposed to missions through a GO team.

Daniel serves as the discipleship pastor of Bethany Baptist Church. He joined Bethany’s staff in 2020 after working for 4 years in student life at TMU. He was ordained in July to serve as an elder and is deeply invested into Bethany in a variety of ways; preaching, teaching, community group, men’s ministry, and Sunday School. He’s been working to implement a discipleship curriculum and strategy and seeking to grow the church’s depth and love for Christ and his word. He loves being a dad to his two girls, Ava (2) and Shiloh (1).

Lindsey is a faithful wife and a loving mom to Ava and Shiloh. She works remotely as a digital project manager at Scorpion for the last 10 years. She leads a women’s Bible study and loves discipling and investing into the lives of the women at Bethany. It’s her passion to see young women grow and walk with the Lord.

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

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

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

LABC set a wonderful, biblical foundation for her life, and at the 50-year mark several women in her graduating class had a reunion in California. After the reunion, they continued to stay in touch, and they still have a group chat where they 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.

Wayne and Jayne Jones have lived in the Martinez, California area since college. They met at LABC as freshmen in 1975, and were married in 1978. Jayne’s family had moved to California from Iowa when she was in first grade, so her dad (Danny Caldwell) could study at LABC, and he graduated in 1969 to become a pastor. Wayne’s dad was a pastor as well.

Wayne enjoyed playing soccer while in college, and Jayne enjoyed being in the Ladies Ensemble. They have been married for 48 years and have 3 children who are a Sheriff, a trauma surgeon, and an educator/ librarian. Their oldest son Austin, graduated in 2003 from The Master’s College.

Wayne and Jayne have served in church leadership, Christian education, and children’s ministries. Wayne worked as a supervisor for a refinery for 41 years, and they enjoy time with their 3 kids, their spouses, and 8 grandkids, as well as traveling.

William is enrolled to start The Master’s Seminary in the Fall of 2026. Long-term plans are to pastor and plant churches in Sweden. Currently, he is much involved in his local church called Calvary Stockholm while he is home. This summer he preached there twice and was much involved with evangelism, discipleship and other things in the church. Sweden has a great lack of sound churches, and yet God is doing His work, although slowly, so he is doing what he can to be connected with various churches throughout the country and serve in various capacities. There is a Bible study group in Uppsala, his hometown, which hopefully soon can turn into a church. He may be a part of it or could also be sent out to plant a church in another city, after he finishes the Master of Divinity at TMS.

He also tries to develop good relationships with TMS alumni in Finland and Norway, where there are plans to eventually have TMAI schools. He is also looking at options to be involved in translation ministry in order to get sound books printed in Swedish.

This summer he also spent 10 days in Indonesia serving missionaries from Grace Community Church, including conducting a VBS and youth camp. This summer also meant much time with family that has been really sweet to him. He loves being with his parents and three siblings Amadeus, Jack, and Engla. They have much fun together; they have enjoyed watching the World Cup, and enjoy playing board games.

Since 2018, Ben has 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 for Ben to see many encounter expository preaching for the first time and experience the revival that can only come from the Bible. He is so thankful for the biblical convictions and love for the local church that were developed during his time at TMC, and it’s a real pleasure to have several other alumni at his church serving in various ways. At home, Ben and his wife, Holly, are also working to raise up the next generation in the discipline and instruction of the Lord through their 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, Timothy came to TMU for additional studies in worship music, graduating in 2004 with a degree in church music. He remains incredibly thankful to the Lord for the opportunity to study under such godly professors who thoroughly equipped him for the ministry ahead. His time participating in the Chorale, Collegiate Singers, and Handbell Ensemble provided not only rigorous musical training but also an amazing experience that still impacts him today. TMU holds an extra special place in his heart, as it is also where he met his wife, Julie.

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

Currently, their 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. They are actively involved in their local church, where they assist with worship leadership and Timothy has the privilege of preaching expository sermons with a couple of other men. They are deeply grateful for how TMU shaped their foundation for this life of service to Christ.

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

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. He has had opportunities to invite some players to Bible study and Sunday service. God has also allowed him to share the gospel with some players, staff, and his boss, and reminding players God’s word when they feel nervous, especially right before tip off.

Through his work, Kanta has also seen many of his own weaknesses. As he seeks His help and depends on Him, He has given him His strength and grace to supply what is lacking and help him take another step with courage. When he is discouraged, He provides peace through His love and leads him to share His love even when it is difficult. When his heart is troubled, He proves His faithfulness to him and leads him to trust Him more.

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

At the same time, he is learning more about Japanese culture and seeking to discern biblically, especially the line between culture and religion. He hopes to use this season to better understand Japan and prepare himself to serve the Japanese church more faithfully and effectively in the future.

Viveca’s constant desire has always been to serve God well by stewarding the time and resources He has given her and giving Him all the glory wherever she is. In this season, Viveca and her husband have opened their home to foster children ages 6-18 and have enjoyed seeing the Lord work in their hearts, in theirs, and in their friends’ and family’s hearts as they come alongside them to instruct them in the Lord. It has challenged them to be doers of the Word, as they have often seen that their home is the children’s first exposure to who God is, what the gospel is, and what it means for their lives.

As a biblical counseling major, Viveca also wanted to work somewhere she could share the gospel and offer people hope for change. The Lord allowed her to begin working at a pro-life Pregnancy Resource Center, where she now serves as Center Director. There, God has allowed her 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 her and her husband seek to serve Christ includes involvement in their church through different ministries, their support of missionaries, and their striving to be faithful witnesses to unbelievers in their day-to-day lives. Their daily conviction is that their time on this earth is limited; how will they honor and serve the Lord today?

In 2019, Carolina moved back to Lobos, Argentina (her hometown) with her husband, two kids and a third on the way. Her husband is a pastor of their local church and the Academic Dean of a TMAI Training Center. Since moving to the mission field, she has not been involved in any “formal” ministry, other than helping in the church nursery. At first, this was hard for her, not because she wanted a formal ministry role, but because she thought about how many people (donors, teachers, preachers, and her parents) invested in her studies at TMU. Carolina considers herself uniquely blessed to have been exposed to such quality teaching, and she feels responsible as a steward of the gifts and opportunities she has received.

Nevertheless, as years go by, Carolina has personally grown to understand and appreciate the great wisdom of God in creating the roles of wife, mother, and everyday church member. To illustrate, she now sees with more clarity how being a wife is not just about endless chores; it is a way to serve God and her husband. As a wife, her perspective on life, ministry, and even God has an impact on her husband and his ministry—whether for good or for bad. This also applies to her role as a mother. In this season of life, she is serving the Lord primarily by serving her husband and kids, not just with chores but seeking to be a godly testimony to them. On the other hand, she serves the Lord by making sure that her focus on the family doesn’t cause an imbalance that places the home above the importance of the local church. In other words, she also serves the Lord by fulfilling her role as a regular church member, using her gifts and training to serve the believers alongside her husband.

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

Ro and Susan are blessed with five children. Timothy (’20) is a professional basketball player, he uses his platform to model a Christian life.

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 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.

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.

Ken and Rebecca met at LABC in 1972 and were married in 1974. Two years ago they celebrated our 50th anniversary. They lived in Santa Clarita for almost 40 years and were members of Grace Baptist Church. They both retired in 2018 and now both serve at Cornerstone Bible Church in Portage, WI where their son is the pastor. Ken and Rebecca moved from CA to be near their son, Kyle (’09)  and wife Meisha (Preston) (’06) and one grandchild. They now have four grandkids: two girls, two boys.

Ken teaches a bible study in their home, helps with various administrative duties at church, and preaches once a month. Rebecca serves in the nursery, plays the piano for services infrequently, and keeps their home open for Bible study. They love having their grandchildren close by and enjoy watching them grow. They visit often and Ken and Rebecca are happy to watch them whenever needed.

Their oldest son lives and works for Amazon in Bellingham, WA. Ken and Rebecca are blessed by a healthy church family who love to hear the Word and desire to grow in their Christian life. It is a special blessing to sit under Kyle’s preaching and Meisha’s teaching, as she leads women’s Bible study each week.

Ken and Rebecca are grateful to live in such a beautiful area and experience four seasons. All glory goes to their great God for His blessings in their lives.

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

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

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, Analee has the privilege of serving Christ as a wife, mother, educator, and servant in her local church. God has blessed her with a wonderful husband, Raul, and three precious children: Emma, Lidia, and Matias. Her desire is to care for her family, disciple her 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, Analee had the opportunity to teach in several schools. Today, she has the blessing of homeschooling her own children while also teaching in a hybrid educational community and serving as a teacher in the children’s ministry at her church. Through these opportunities, the Lord has deepened her love for teaching the young, and her prayer is that she 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.

Analee is deeply grateful for the lasting impact The Master’s College has had on her life.

It is a joy and privilege for her to serve the Lord in these areas, and she prays that He will continue to equip her by His grace to do so in a manner that brings glory to His name.

By God’s grace, Jonathan began serving as the Assistant Director of SEPE International in 2025.

The SEPE International program, which he is a part of, is the seminary’s revenue-generating arm that helps keep tuition affordable for the M.Div. students. He is 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 Jonathan. He then connects them with U.S.-based churches and ministries that can send STM teams to accomplish these projects.

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.

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. Bora was one of the “kids” that they invested in at the time because he was raised in an orphanage. Rena Chheang and Pahnette Chheang (his 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 Christy are enjoying this new stage of life as empty nesters. With all four of their children having attended TMU over the last 10 years, they 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, they love serving the body of Christ at Living Word Fellowship in Porterville, CA – Scott as an elder, and Christy as a women’s Bible study teacher. In their down time, they enjoy traveling to see their kids and grandkids, adventuring in the great outdoors, and taking care of their home and its surrounding acreage.

Peter’s 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.

After graduation from TMU, Daniel married Marea and together they have three boys ages 5, 3, and almost 1. Two of the boys have had significant health issues, and God has taught Daniel and Marea much about trust and love, ultimately strengthening their marriage. They faithfully attend a local church which is part of a larger fellowship of “Regular Baptist” churches in the area, a true blessing!

Through the last few years, they have taken on the family-owned restaurant (Rosa’s Pizza) that Daniel’s father owned/ran for 35 years. It continues to be a challenge and opportunity for further growth in Christ-likeness and testimony to the workers and community.

Hannah is serving as a hospitalist at a rural critical access hospital in her home state, close enough to family to be frequently involved in their lives (11 nieces/nephews and counting!).

She enjoys hiking, backpacking, gardening, basic photography, travel, soccer, coffee, libraries, and game nights.

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.

Spencer is extremely thankful for the world-class business education and biblical worldview he received from The Master’s University. It has equipped him to be faithful in building his career, leading his family, and serving Christ and His church. Today, Spencer works 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 the owner, “Why are you and your people so different?” He simply said it is because of the work Christ has done in their lives. They regularly receive questions like this, which open doors to share the gospel and what Christ has done.

Unfortunately, Christians don’t always have the strongest reputation in the workplace. That should not be the case. Spencer believes Christians 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.

Currently, the Lord has been opening teaching opportunities for Alyssa back home in the Philippines. She facilitated a couple of book clubs and taught 11th-grade Reading and Writing at a Christian school in Cavite during the latter part of the year. More than just teaching academics, it has been a meaningful avenue to share the gospel, especially considering that these are critical years for students. She is currently exploring the possibility of taking on a more full-time teaching load this coming school year.

Alyssa is also a member of Grace Fellowship Church Alabang, where she volunteers in the Women’s and Singles Ministry. Lord willing, she is planning to pursue Association of Certified Biblical Counselors (ACBC) certification this year, as the need is great both in the church and in the school setting.

It was at a church planting class with Brad Buser during which Stacey became utterly persuaded that unless she had a reason to stay in the US, she should go into missions. She couldn’t think of a reason to stay, so she made herself available to the Lord to go. In Buser’s class she continued to study God’s heart for the nations from Genesis to Revelation and she was persuaded that missions was a biblical necessity. Further, Buser called the class 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 her soul started to grow; a restlessness that continued to grow until she moved overseas as a missionary. She has been laboring in Cameroon in Bible translation and church planting for ten years now, and it has been harder than she could have ever imagined. That being said, she knows that presenting these Kwakum people as an offering to Jesus one day will make her forget all of the pain. If she hadn’t gone to TMU and if she hadn’t been in Brad Buser’s class there is no doubt in her mind that she would not have gone into missions, and the Kwakum people would probably not have the Bible. She is thankful that TMU consistently put the plight of the nations before her. Stacey and her husband are currently serving through Bible translation in Cameroon.

Kimiko’s days are busy homeschooling their four kids and raising puppies for Guide Dogs for the Blind.

Matt completed residency training in 2023 and currently works 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.

They co-lead a weekly fellowship group and have been so encouraged to grow in their faith alongside the body of believers here.
