A Word from our founder
Leadership
Almost 30 years ago, I received a distinctive call from the Lord to enter into higher education. The journey over these decades has been a phenomenal one as I have enjoyed a front row seat in the transformation of students into leaders of their families and communities. It has been one of the greatest blessings in my life. Over the past three years, a new call emerged from within my heart to do more, and to be more, for the glory of God by serving the most vulnerable in our society and by building deeper capacity in the organizations working to meet their spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical needs. Walking With Others grew out of this calling and it is the vehicle by which I am fulfilling it. I invite you to join me in accompanying others on their quest for a hope-filled future.
