This month we bid farewell to Dave and Linda Childs, Vice President for Student Services and Dean of Women for the last 15 years. Their faithful service, godly leadership, harmonious marriage, good humor, and deep wisdom have been invaluable assets to ABC as we equip servants. In addition to their work in Student Services, Dean Childs served as faculty and Pastoral Major Chair, while Mrs. Childs produced the Gleaner (yearbook) and served on the Ladies Auxiliary.
Kevin Gullion, the new Vice President, reflects, "Over the years that I’ve worked under [Dave Childs] as Dean of Men I have seen a man who genuinely loves those with whom he works and has a heart desire to see them walk worthy of the Lord (I Thess. 2:11-12). This has not only included the student body but I have seen it include me and others who worked on our staff."
And Melissa Gullion, who succeeds Mrs. Childs as Dean of Women says, "The spiritual strength, wisdom, discernment, and love that [Linda Childs] displayed daily in her interaction with students came from her close relationship with the Lord. The time and study that she spends in the Word of God was evident as she counseled, encouraged and guided them."
Join us in wishing Dean and Mrs. Childs a blessed retirement!
