Catherine
Cathy is director of admissions for Woodstock School, a coeducational Christian school (grades 1-12) with approximately 475 students from 25 countries around the world. About 40 percent of students come from non-Christian homes. The strong Christian emphasis at Woodstock ensures that every student is exposed to the gospel through Bible classes, chapels, residence devotions, and Christian activities.
Cathy looks after high school students from the U.S. and Europe who come to Woodstock for a year under the Studies Abroad for Global Education (SAGE) program, helping them make the transition to life at a boarding school in India. She also serves as a resource person for women and children in India.
Cathy sees whatever she is asked to do as an opportunity to witness to Christ's love. "We can know that God's goodness will reach many places we cannot go through the lives and Christian witness of many of these young people," she says.
