We were richly fed by Dr. Becky Towne last month in the Institute course on Spiritual Formation and Spiritual Direction, and she will provide rich knowledge for us again in our class on December 3, 2018. Our noblest goal is to follow Jesus so closely that, when others see us, they see the love of Jesus. Becky is devoted to help us achieve this high goal.
Becky is certainly prepared to give us guidance. She has gained significant wisdom through more than three decades of pastoral ministry with Jim, her husband. In her vocation as professor, she has taught numerous Master’s and Doctoral students at Houston Graduate School of Theology in courses on Christian Spirituality. Becky has mentored many others toward deeper Christian growth. Most important is that her personal life beautifully exemplifies Christ-like love. Becky welcomes the opportunity to share with us. When I asked her to teach, she said “yes” immediately.

We will soon celebrate Thanksgiving, and we pray with Jesus, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth” (Matthew 11:25 NRSV). We are truly thankful for God’s abundant blessings, among them our Leadership Institute.
With thanksgiving in my heart,
– Dave Kingrey, Director of Leadership Institute
