Staff Opportunities

“Few people know that I am an electrical engineer and had the chance to intern at NASA. When I was in college, I interned at the Goddard Space Flight Center outside Washington, DC. I worked at automating a vacuum chamber which was used to test optics before they were sent into space. The chamber was in a clean room, so I had to wear a full-body clean suit and gloves all day while I worked. Now that I teach aquatics at Faith Academy, I’ve traded in my full-body clean suit for a full-body wetsuit.

What I love most about working at Faith is getting to help students figure out who they are and giving them lots of opportunities to try different things as they do that. There were a couple students I had in Bible study who went to a large state school in the US together. They both ended up getting involved with CRU there and they wrote back to me after a year saying that they never would have gotten involved in student ministries if we hadn’t had that Bible study. One of them works for CRU full-time now, so it’s cool to see them passing on what they have learned and helping disciple others.

Ultimately, with my time here at Faith Academy, I hope to see our students know both what it means to love Jesus and to impact the world.”

“Faith Academy is my spiritual home, I am serving and being served in the community. It is encouraging to build the next generation’ faith in Jesus Christ. children are precious in Jesus’ eyes, their hearts are so sensitive and soft, any planted seeds in their hearts will grow. What we concern is not only about their academic growth, but also their souls which Jesus cares about. Your partnership makes this happen for some staff.”

“Jess and I say that as dorm parents we are so fulfilled, so stretched, so dependent, so blessed to be part of the daily lives of these teenage guys, and doubly blessed to be partnering with their amazing families.”

“Faith Academy is home to me because I have spent the majority of my life here. I went to Faith Academy K-12, and now I have the amazing opportunity to serve here as a teacher. Initially my wife and I were open to serving anywhere in the world, but God opened and closed doors to have us end up here in the Philippines. At first I loved that I had the opportunity to teach at the school that helped me grow so much. However, since teaching here, I have grown to love even more how my ministry is helping missionary families by teaching their children so they can do their ministry with ease.”
