“I am able to influence
teenagers, teachers,
and people who I come
in contact with. I can
share the Gospel with
them and tell them
about a God who cares.”
She says, “There is improvement
in my teachers’ performances
and commitments to the cause
of Christ and Christian discipline
among students.”
“GO WHERE GOD IS
CALLING YOU.”
Her passion for Christian
education grew, especially as her
own children approached school
age. For 10 years before attending
Haggai Institute, however, she
had felt relatively comfortable in
her profession. It was the training
that challenged her to take on
something more demanding.
“Haggai Institute brought back
my purpose in life. What is life
for – if I am not able to invest in
people’s lives? It started making
me think. At Haggai Institute it
came clearly to me: Leave your
comfort zone. Go where God is
calling you.”
So she went.

She says of Faith Academy,
“I know this is a place where
God has asked me to come and
be used by Him. I am able to
influence teenagers, teachers,
and people who I come in contact
with. I can share the Gospel with
them and tell them about a God
who cares.”
And her influence has already
borne fruit. Several current and
former students, many of whom
were raised in Muslim and Hindu
homes, have accepted Christ.
“GOD BLESS THE
DONORS.”
Elizabeth hopes to reach even
more students in the future.
“We are thinking of having
one-day retreats for graduating
students where we tell them the
Gospel plainly,” she says. “We
have a yearly Christian children’s
camp, but it is only for Christian
children. What about the nonChristian children? I want them
to hear the Gospel clearly before
they leave.”
Elizabeth’s influence isn’t limited
only to the school campus. She
orchestrates student retreats
and camps and volunteers with
ministries focused on helping
abused and low-income children.
“Even in church, I have found
that I am able to invest in the
lives of so many around me,” she
says. “Though church gets over
