Decades ago, young men and women began a university education or career training and expected to stay in the same employment all their lives. More recently, people switch careers, often having several different places to work during their adult lives. Such a decision involves incredible faith and courage!
We've seen this change happening across all social circles and we especially notice it in church life. One example is striking. Braemar Baptist Church was important to me before I ever went to Edmonton. One of my professors was Dr. Sam Mikolaski, flying to Vancouver to teach at Regent College one day a week. Dr. Sam became a significant person in my life. He was one of the best professors I ever had. His bibliography goes on for pages.
Recently, Kent Dixon began his ministry at Braemar. Previously, he worked in marketing and was a voice presence in corporate narration, advertisements, and on-hold messaging for a wide range of companies. Kent had served faithfully in his home church in many lay ministry roles of the years and was repeatedly told that he was well-suited for full-time ministry. Taking those comments as coming from the Lord, he enrolled at Taylor University in Edmonton. A year ago, he began ministry at Braemar.
"It has been quite a journey so far, but God has always been faithful and continues to grow me in so many ways," Kent explains. "Along the road, I have met so many godly men and women who have helped in discerning my path and encouraging me along the way."
Blessings on you, Kent, as you follow the path God has laid out before you!
