Every student is worthy of an advocate – an adult who demonstrates a firm belief in their inherent value as one created in the image of God and one who cheers for them and sees great God-given power and potential inside of them. For some students it is sprouting or even blossoming and yet for others their potential is untapped–waiting to be discovered. A student’s health extends far beyond their physical body to encompass their emotions, intellect, social interactions, academic pursuits, and spiritual walk. No matter where a student is in their journey of faith, my desire is to encourage them along the way so they trust that God sees them, believe that He has a plan for them, and are confident of His abiding presence and unconditional love for them.
