Both of us, at a young age, having grown up with a Christian home, made a simple acceptance to have Jesus be our Lord and Saviour.
For Josh, while attending the University of Calgary, he joined P2C - Students to study the bible on campus, and upon graduating in 2000, joined staff with P2C to help launch the campus ministry in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
For Deb, she always knew ministry would be a significant part of her life. She assumed it would come later in life after she had established a career. However, when she witnessed a different reality in P2C at her time at Dalhousie University in Halifax. So in 2003, she graduated and joined staff with P2C, ministering alongside Josh in Halifax.
Our Current Role at P2C - Students
Josh, as director of Strategy and Operations team, helps students take their next step towards Jesus by coordinating the strategic planning process of the ministry and creating and managing infrastructure to effectively and efficiently deliver ministry objectives. As a member of the National Leadership Team, he helps to implement change management processes to help the ministry achieve the desired outcomes of our plans and goals.
Deb, as director of the Creative Communications team, helps students connect with opportunities that help them take their next step towards Jesus. Through communication spaces like our p2c.com/students website, social media (insta: @p2cstudents), and resourcing in-person conversations, we design, create videos, write, inviting students to get involved with a local community, go on a mission trip, consider internship, and more. She also helps her team members in fund-raising.
