While working with high school students on the staff of Campus Crusade for Christ, she moved to Indiana where she married Bill.  They were interviewed on the nationally syndicated radio broadcast “FamilyLife Today” entitled “The Joy of a Big Family.”  Their story, “Jonathan’s Balloon,” as told by Carol Kent, was featured on “Focus on the Family” first in 1994 and most recently on July 14-15, 2008, entitled “Secret Longings of the Heart.”

Throughout her parenting life, Pamela has participated in her children’s education through home schooling, local Christian schools, Sunday school, and public schooling.  She conceived, organized, and emceed a teen purity conference and continues to initiate efforts to help families in spiritual and emotional need.   She has served on multiple community boards and taught women’s Bible studies and discipleship groups.

More recently, Pamela has taken counseling courses with Deeper Walk Ministries, based in Indianapolis, Indiana, and graduated from the Centurion Program, founded by Charles Colson and sponsored by the Wilberforce Forum.  After compiling many journal entries of her childrens’ antics, she hopes to continue developing her writing and catching up on all those books she never got to read or write while chasing toddlers!
