"I truly love Western Christian as my life has been touched over the past 30 years as both a student and teacher. Western has been like a family to me as I've loved and been loved by fellow teachers and students alike. The Lord has used Western as a tool to mold, strengthen, encourage and impact my life and the lives of so many others for eternity. I am and forever will be grateful for the gift of Western Christian."
