Filed under: Student Spotlight
Our student spotlight this month is Miss Kendra Henson! Heather Dilley, who serves as the Decorations Coordinator for Pendergraph was able to interview her this past week. Kendra is currently in the Biblical Counseling program at Boyce College and also works at Founder’s Café.
How do you hope to use your degree in ministry?
I hope to work with pre—teen and teenage girls in an orphanage or girl’s home setting.
What is your home state?
Missouri
What is your favorite Louisville restaurant?
Irish Rover
Can you describe the occasion of your conversion?
I was 15 and at church camp. It was during a sermon that the pastor was preaching about trying to fill our lives up with earthly possessions that only Christ can fill. I was deeply convicted by this and knew that this was what I was doing. Christ used this sermon to finally draw me to Him. I went and talked to my camp counselor after the sermon and prayed to receive Christ into my life.
Where do you attend church and what do you appreciate most about the body in that place?
I attend Clifton Baptist Church. What I appreciate most about Clifton is its solid teaching and caring, family atmosphere.
In what ways do you most enjoy serving in the church?
I love working in the children’s ministry department. To see these kids learning about Christ and actually understanding who Christ is and what He has done for us is amazing.
If you are reading a book, what are you currently reading?
Doing Things Right in Matters of the Heart
How have you seen God’s hand in your life since moving here?
God has really been moving in my life the past three years. He has continually provided a way for me to continue in my schooling and He has placed so many wonderful people in my life along the way.
What is your favorite Scriptural text and why?
One of my favorite texts is 1 John 3:7-12. Just to see God’s love for us and knowing it is not anything we did to deserve it but that it is a gift from God. That Jesus was sent to die for our sins, not because we loved God but because God loved us, is amazing.
Who has been the most influential person you’ve met since being at Boyce?
Jessica Vaughn. She has such a gentle spirit and servant’s attitude.
Do you have any advice/encouragement for new female Boyce students?
Keep a schedule. You have no idea how helpful this is. Day planners are a student’s best friend. Also, do not get caught up in finding a boyfriend right away thing. God will bring the right one to you when the time is right.
Filed under: Event Recap
The ladies who attended the September 18th Pendergraph event had both their bodies and souls fed by our own Mrs. Mary Mohler. She faithfully led us to God’s Word and “up the mountain” by teaching us to face our worries and attack our thinking with scripture and correct thinking about God. In her distinctly Mrs. Mohler-like manner, she painted little portraits of women who deal with common worries, and countered those worries (or “concerns” as we sometimes like to brush them off as) with corrected thinking. She pushed our thinking by asking us to consider if we had a “what-if clause” — a resolution to take from the Heavenly Father’s hand whatever He would give us, and still believe that He was truly good.
Mrs. Mohler then led us to her lovely home for a delightful time of dessert and fellowship. We clustered around family photographs, eating our cake and drinking our coffees, and eagerly examined the cavernous library in the basement. Ladies gleefully took note of what to later brag about to their husbands, perused the colossal book collection and admired Dr. Mohler’s taste in décor.
The Pendergraph ladies are so grateful to Mrs. Mohler for her warm hospitality and clear challenge to us. It certainly was an evening to remember!
