I am so excited to be a part of the Azusa Pacific family as a blogger this year! I graduated from APU with a degree in Theatre Arts and Communication studies in 2005. Since then, I’ve completed a Masters Degree from Fuller Theological Seminary and spent the past three years working as a full-time missionary for an organization based in South Africa. This summer, I was hired as the Program Coordinator in the Office of Ministry and Service and it’s been a blast being back! It definitely feels like coming home!

Part of my job involves mobilizing our students through social media – and mobilizing I hope to do. Throughout the year, I’ll be posting different things about the MAS office and the ministries we work with, as well as the different perspectives of our students in the office.

I am a current student at Azusa Pacific University (APU) that Transferred here from a Community College in my hometown, in California. It has been one great experience in being accepted and coming to this school. With the enormous amount of students that befriended me here in just the first week of school was overwhelming at first because I met so many people and I forgot almost every single one of their names! But hey, I had friends in all my classes and I have APU’s transfer student Orientation to thank.

Open Door Soccer League

Over the course of this first month being here, I have been able to get involved with the Open Door Soccer League (ODSL). It’s a program for APU student’s to engage in and volunteer to be coaches or referees for kids of the Azusa area that sign up for soccer through the Open Door Church. It’s a great way to not only coach kids but also share Christ with them openly. Though coaching the kids from the age of 6-8 years old can be challenging, it is definitely worth every moment of my Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings.
