“Prior to coming on WDA staff, I taught high-school English. My experience as an educator convinced me that our schools, churches and families were losing the battle to help our youth grow up and become productive citizens. Being on WDA staff provided me with a framework, tools, and practical experience for helping people grow to maturity. This has made me a better parent at home and a more effective lay-leader in my church.”

Staff Profile
“This will be my eighth year of ministering alongside the WDA staff members who discipled me when I was a student at Purdue! I’m grateful for WDA’s ministry in my life and excited to be able to give that same experience to others. This fall I will also help my church lead 100 women using our Laying Foundations material.”
