Pastor Sarah with Nellie


Here is a picture of me with John "Nellie" Nelson. He was our keynote speaker in Session 3. The theme of the Session was "Your Network." Nellie was born in Singapore with severe physical disabilities. He has lived his whole life in a wheel chair and has always struggled in feeling love from others. But God is a big part of who he is now. And his message is one of acceptance and love. He believes that God is using him to spread hope to others, especially in his part as one of the Assistant Coaches to the Pacific Lutheran University Football Team. He shared that he would never change a thing about himself, because he knows now that God loves him inside and out!
