Journey of Courageous Ambassadors

In the Spring 2025 issue of Grace’s Journey, you’ll encounter stories of transformation, calling, and God’s faithful pursuit. Carter Willis ’25 came to Grace to play baseball—and found new life in Christ. Benaiah Nyanjui ’25 followed God’s call to missionary aviation, discovering Grace through a series of providential encounters. Jess Payne ’24 turned down her dream schools to follow Jesus more deeply, finding healing and purpose in Grace’s community. Morgan Sillings ’24, encouraged by a professor’s wisdom, turned her lifelong love of history into a hands-on museum internship. And Dr. Mat Loverin ’98, both alum and professor, demonstrates how rigorous teaching and relational investment can lead to lasting spiritual transformation. Each story reminds us that God is at work in every season—shaping students, alumni, and faculty for His glory and our good.
