Ministry Focus
Berean served with Campus Ambassadors as a student leader for two years before being appointed as an intern in June 2024. The two years of student leadership shaped and grew Berean. She learned how to plan events, lead small groups, and teach in large group settings. Her time on the team has helped her realize the importance of serving Christ in every aspect of her life. She has enjoyed walking alongside her college peers, encouraging them to know Christ more and develop deeper relationships with Him. She hopes to help bring students closer to Christ and the Christian community by developing meaningful relationships with those students.
Faith Story
Berean was raised in a Christian home, going to church every week, church camps, retreats, youth group, and many other
events. However, she felt as if her church life was separate from her personal life. She struggled with anxiety and constant worry
over what others thought of her. But after repeatedly experiencing the love of Christ’s community, and finding fellowship on
Western Oregon’s campus, these two lives began to merge. Berean’s personal life reflected the work of Christ in her. Her time
with Campus Ambassadors has taught her that God has a role for everyone. Christ has become the center of Berean’s life,
bringing peace from the anxiety. She hopes to help students find their role and security in Christ, just as she has.
Education
Berean is attending Western Oregon University in Monmouth to obtain her Bachelor of Science in Accounting.
WAYS TO SUPPORT
