    Alumni Feature: Roy and Adelina Martens

    Even from a young age, God designs circumstances to direct people toward His purpose. Roy and Adelina Martens were in their teens when the Lord spoke to them about serving Him in India.

I came to Briercrest as a mature student who was very new to the faith. While I am grateful for the formal learning experiences, the relationships I formed here are what really breathed life into what I was studying.
