Biography

Judy accepted Christ as her personal savior at a very young age and grew up in a strong Christian family. While in high school she was able to participate on a couple of short-term mission trips with her church to Mexico. Then as a student at Biola University, she went to France for two summers with Greater Europe Missions' Eurocorps program. It was during her 2nd summer in France that Judy felt that God might be calling her to a full-time cross-cultural ministry. In 1987 Judy returned to France where she worked 3 years at the European Bible Institute, working as an English secretary and also getting to teach some English courses. Upon returning from France, Judy realized that a degree in Teaching English would be a very useful tool for overseas ministries. In 1992 she moved to Columbia, South Carolina. She worked fulltime at Columbia International University while she pursuing her Master's in TEFL on the side. In 1996 she graduated from CIU and began teaching. She taught English to international students in a public adult education school and taught undergraduate students at CIU in TEFL. While she very much enjoyed the ministry God had given her in Columbia, Judy felt that God was again calling her overseas. Since she felt especially connected to her Muslim and Eastern European students, Judy applied to Christar (formerly International Missions) and was accepted in 1999 as an appointee to Morocco. Due to varying circumstances, her appointment to Morocco was changed to Albania and the Center for Christian Leadership where she would be able to better use her experience and gifts. Judy arrived in Albania in July 2002 and is currently teaching English and doing teacher training for students interested in becoming English teachers.
