Mark Thometz was not a star student during his years at Boise Bible College and says he didn檛 see the value of school during his undergraduate years.
淏ut now I have a different perspective,� he says. 淎fter two years as a youth minister and eight more as a lead pastor, I knew I needed to grow and learn. I chose 91原创檚 Master of Arts in New Testament, and it檚 been life-changing. When I chose the spiritual formation concentration, I didn檛 know much about the spiritual disciplines. Now my final project is on the power of preaching and practicing these disciplines. I檝e grown in my faith through this program.�
Mark, who serves at (CA), says he檚 not only earning good grades during this phase of his education, he檚 also approaching the process differently.
淚 want to learn things I can pass on to other people,� he says. 淚n one of our classes, Jody Owens talked about being cisterns instead of ravines攂lessing people from the overflow of our own walk with Christ. That’s my goal.�
Mark will graduate from the program in May � and has already been accepted to a doctoral program at Biola University檚 Talbot School of Theology.
