“I chose Corban because the University’s mission, ‘to educate Christians who will make a difference in the world for Jesus Christ.’ Our world needs Christians ‘who understand the times and know what to do,’ as 1 Chronicles 12:32 tells us. Equipping Christian counselors is a responsibility that I hold in high regard, and I am grateful that the Lord provided the opportunity at Corban for me to help equip the next generations of professional helpers.”
