Mary Ellen Langley --- Campus Ministry
Mary Ellen is from Nebraska and graduated from Northwest Missouri State University with a degree in Finance. While in college she was moved by missionaries who taught her how to share her faith with others, and not just keep it to herself. So she decided to become a missionary and help other students to do the same, too! she has been serving this campus as a FOCUS Missionary for the past two years. When she first came out here to Vermont, She was sure that she would stay only as long as she had to, due to the distance away from home. But through a lot of prayer and conversations with the Lord, friends and family, it has become clear to her that God has transformed her heart for this place and these people! she is very excited and honored to be here for a third year and to continue to walk with these students as we all strive to follow Jesus together!
