WELCOME TO THE BVCC FAMILY!

Sunday, Oct. 16 was a great day as we were blessed to share with two of our young women decisions they have made for Christ.

AMY INSKEEP

 Amy grew up in Indianapolis, but moved to NWA and graduated from Bentonville High School in 2006. She was an Ozark Christian College graduate in May of last year with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology & Counseling.  Amy is currently working toward her Master of Science Degree in Marriage & Family Therapy and CommunityCounseling at JBU.  She transferred her membership to the BVCC family on Oct. 16, 2011.

Her family -  mom & dad (Brian & Krista Howard) and her two brothers and sister have been active at the Rogers Christian Church for years. Amy served as a CIT Counselor at Camp Joshua while in High School. She also has joined in on quite a few mission trips, which include inner city work in Dallas, Nashville, and Indianapolis.

 

Amy met David Conrad while at OCC and was looking for a place to serve and share her gifts. She is enjoying being a sponsor with the high school girls at BVCC.  Amy is very goal-oriented and hopes to work in the marriage & family counseling field, help those through their sexual abuse recovery, and someday write a book.

Amy loves animals and is a dog trainer. She also does pet sitting in homes (or at her house) and is a Mary Kay Cosmetic Consultant. In between her homework, she also loves to shop, watch movies, and go to Starbucks.

TIMENI STRAUSS

After her first visit to BVCC at the Christmas Eve Service last year with friend Jackie Charles, Timeni felt God has been working in her life. She made her decision to accept Jesus as her Savior and be baptized on Wed. Oct. 19 by Vicki Pomykala. (Vicki was her little boy’s bus driver at school.)

The Strauss family had previously lived in Arkansas before moving to Illinois, but came back six years ago for a job opportunity and to be closer to family. Timeni was a stay-home-mom for 12 years, but just started a new job last week as a part-time certified Occupational Therapy Assistant at POST 0218 in Rogers. Her husband, Troy, is employed as a Project Coordinator for the Benchmark Group. They have two children. Kolten is in the 4th Grade and enjoys building with Legos, fishing and swimming.  His sister, Kami, loves to play with Barbie dolls, singing, dancing and  gymnastics. Both children attend Cooper Elementary. They are a very outdoor oriented family...enjoying BBQs, basketball, even playing board games outside.

Timeni is already getting connected at BVCC. She signed up at the Ministry Fair to serve on the communion prep team and hopes their family can help with Guest Services in the near future. Timeni has a heart  for others and looks forward to meeting new families and women  in the church.
