I have been honored to serve on the Board of Regents for CUNE for the last three years. During that time, I have served on the strategic planning committee and am currently chair of the committee. If reelected, I would expect to continue progress on the current strategic plan and assist the staff and board in the process of establishing the next strategic plan for CUNE. I have a particular interest in continuing the emphasis on the preparation of servant leaders for the church and world.

Pause and Pray at 3:07 p.m.

At 3:07 each day, remember John 15:7 and pray for Christ's Church, the convention, our leaders, and the work of the Gospel among us.
