Vocational : Called to teach. The Scholar and the Educator
What is vocation? – “The point is that God has given everyone the ability to recognize something of what the world needs” (TOW Project). – “The things to which God calls you will be challenging. Living your calling will require changes in your life. Keeping your primary calling primary builds your faith and trust in God so that you are able to answer "Yes!" to His call despite any fears and reservations. You trust that God is calling you toward something that is the very best for you, and have faith that He will provide what you need to fulfill that calling. Keeping your focus on the Lord also reminds you that your ultimate accountability for what you do with your life is not to your parents, spouse, boss, neighbors, society or yourself. Rather, you are called to live your life playing to an Audience of One: God” (Brennfleck).

Testimonials “Over the past year, I have observed Keila selflessly giving of herself to the EPIC girls, listening to them, praying for and with them, and spending time with them. She shows deep love for the girls, and I have seen the girls grow through spending time with her. The girls have great respect for Keila – the love that she has for them is so evident that they take her words seriously and seek her out for advice. Her passion for the girls is inspiring. KEILA IS THE REAL MVP. ” – Hannah Berridge
