Happy Friday!!!

One of my very favorite people on this planet, Retha Adams served in the army writing and managing contracts worth over $100's of millions of dollars. More importantly, she manifests grace, kindness, and remarkable joy in everything she does.

From Retha's Recognition ceremony bio:

Retha earned her Master of Divinity and is a licensed and ordained Elder at her home church, Church of the Firstborn Christian Center, under the tutelage of Pastor Broderick Humphrey, Sr. in Madison, Alabama.

Hailing from Denver, CO, she is an Army Veteran and part of the Oral Robert University (ORU) Veteran Experience group. Retha leads a women’s bible study group as she continues in her calling to minister about the love of Jesus.

Ever the lifelong learner, Retha has already started her application for ORU's Doctor of Strategic Leadership program.

We are so proud of you Retha, and know God is not even close to being through using you to impact the world.

Today, we shout out Ken White who earned his Master of Pastoral Counseling this year.

From his ceremony bio:

Ken and his wife Donna live in Kemp, Texas, and lead Faith at Work Ministries.

Ken wants to recognize two of our Board members present for the ceremony, Michael and Kay Darilek for your leadership and friendship.

All Credit goes to Jesus Christ, as the song lyric goes, "He's been my fourth Man in the fire time after time." "Trust in God".

Happy Wednesday!

Today, we celebrate one of our three graduating couples this year.

Both Tony ("Coach") & Wren Thomas are walking with their Master in Christian Ministry degrees. They both served in the Army as well.

From their graduating bio(s):
..They have two sons (BJ and Nick) and two stray sons (Tyler and Eli), as well as a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Theo.

At 60, God called Coach to become a Chaplain and to get a master’s degree from ORU. Of note, he is also an ESTJ according to the 16 personalities test, which means he can be a little difficult to get along with some days.

Wren felt led to pursue ministry full-time as a chaplain; however, God has instead led her into a role with International Scriptures Ministries, a faith-tech ministry with a mission to deliver unhindered access to the Bible, globally.

Congratulations, Team Thomas!!! You are both awesome and we are so proud of you.
