“She is the optical department
manager at my store. My wife and I
have been blessed with five wonderful
children and we have a six-monthold
grandchild. We recently have
gotten involved with aCTS Missions
Ministry and it has changed our lives.
The entire family has attended one
of these life-changing weekends and
we are getting ready to embark on a
Mission retreat in Clarksville, Md. We
are excited but also nervous, as it will
require some hefty fundraising. We
are blessed to have this opportunity to
spread God’s Word. I pray all Schreiner
alumni make 2012 a year of new
beginnings and for current students to
pursue their dreams with passion and
tenacity. I pray they seek guidance to
follow the path that God has placed
before them and to know he is with
us each step of the way. May Schreiner
continue to be a success in higher
learning and the development of
contributing members of our great
country.”
