On a Spring evening in early 2020, I was a freshman at Randolph-Macon College. That evening, I received a phone call. It was my dad. He had just received a call from his boss. He was moving, again, this time back to the Richmond region. No big deal, or so I thought… He then continued and let me know that he was moving to Ashland, to the church on the corner of my college’s campus (Duncan Memorial). At the moment, I was in shell-shock. I had left my hometown less than a year prior, and here he was, following me. Little did I know, however, this move (along with a number of other factors) would alter my career course.
As COVID-19 took over the world, I took over my dad’s online presence, developing livestreams for both his previous church, and now for Duncan Memorial. Now, I am a graduate of Randolph-Macon College, and I am working in a creative field, something that would have never happened without a nudge from God, space at Duncan Memorial, and a phone call from my Dad.
Thank you, Duncan Memorial, for providing me with the opportunities to grow my skills, advance my career, and find my church home.
