my favorite missionary


Christa is a 5th grade language arts and social studies teacher in Jenks Public Schools. While we often think of missionaries serving in a distant land or for some international mission, Christa is a missionary to around 60 kids in NE Oklahoma. Her mission context is a secular public school. She has missionary peers that meet with her every week to pray over the children God has placed in their care. She helps facilitate "Trojans for Christ" every Friday morning before school. Last week there were 30 kids that expressed their desire to follow Jesus at the Friday morning gathering. The Spirit of God is transforming kids hearts and lives, because Christa has chosen to be obedient to God's call for this season of her life.

Christa is an amazing woman doing incredible things for God's kingdom. May God continue to give her joy, peace, and grace as she serves as a missionary in Jenks Public Schools.

Oh yeah, and Christa is my loving wife.
