There are so many examples of how God has used our Leadership College to shape the lives of world changers, but none is more up close and personal than Paul and Michelle Jaqua. They came to us as teenagers and ended up staying with the program for over fifteen years - first as students, then as staff and ultimately as directors. They have poured their heart and soul into this school and I am forever indebted!
The Jaquas have decided to step off the Lead Team and take a break from ministry. I am so thankful they will still be here in Lafayette and still be a part of the Crossroads family. I am going to miss having them around day-to-day - they are like family to me.
Matthew and Mariah Ackman will be taking over as directors of the college in addition to their role as Student Pastors and I believe we have a bright future! Even in this succession, I see the fruit of Paul and Michelle's ministry as Mariah was actually introduced to Crossroads through Michelle. I love how God works.
