In the 1990's, Deborah Mayes heard Bob Shank
speak at a conference
and decided that she
wanted to participate
in !e Master's
Program. After listening
to him speak again
at Biola University a
few years later, she approached
him again
about the program.
She was excited to hear
that a Master's for
women had been established, and she jumped at
the chance to be a part of it.
When Sue Foster went through the Partner's
Program, she discovered that her strengths allowed
her the freedom to
pursue a variety of ministry
roles. Being involved with
many diverse projects at the
same time was something
Sue realized was part of the
person God made her to be.
For many years, Sue wondered
if her distinct interests were a sign of inadequacy,
but her time in the Partner's Program allowed
her to appreciate her varied gifts and to
employ them in the wide-ranging roles she has for
the Kingdom. She embraced her gifts and interests
as God-given, and began to "run harder for
the Kingdom".
When John and Juliana Ditty adopted two of their
children from Eastern Europe in the early 1990's,
they realized that
they needed to act
on the needs they
saw firsthand in the
orphanages there. The Dittys founded
Global Operations
and Development
(GO&D) and Giving
Children Hope, two ministries committed to serving
children and the poor in America and abroad
by providing relief and resources. When John and
Juliana joined The Master's Program in Orange
County, they were both given the tools to discover
how they are wired, and in turn, now approach
ministry more effectively.
Introduced to Bob Shank at a church service in
Unique life experiences gave Jim and Debbie Hogan the credentials needed to excel in their current
ministry.
Both Jim and
Debbie saw
church leaders
fall in their
youth and
were turned
off to the faith
as a result. But
by their thirties,
Jim and Debbie had both committed their
lives to Christ and were passionate about their
faiths.
