Favorite Verse/Quote
Isaiah 43:18-19
“Forget the former things, do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert, and streams in the wasteland.”
Why TFC
I enjoy the opportunity to teach content I am passionate about to students who have a desire to serve God cross culturally. The smaller class size allows me to get to know students individually, and it is specially rewarding when the “aha” moments happen in the classroom.
