Janine also presented the seminar Globalization: Living at the Crossroads of Faith and the Biblical Story through translation in Toraja, Indonesia. Community members, teachers, parents and members of parliament attended the seminar. Her trip to Toraja, Sulawesi was a day of cultural learning with a great amount of reflection on living in the crossroads of culture and the biblical story.
The Center for Global Engagement eagerly awaited the arrival ofAndrew Pace and Jon Stone on November 12th and 13th from the Baptist Seminary of Peru. In conversation with Corban faculty and staff, the delegation discussed partnership possibilities with Corban Bible faculty and connected with Corban Education majors interested in teaching abroad. In addition, Pace hosted an informational meeting to present a teaching opportunity for Corban education majors at La Molina Christian Schools in Peru. We are thankful to the Corban community for welcoming these men to campus.
Likewise, plans continue to unfold for a study abroad program for Corban pre-counseling psychology majors at Laidlaw College in Auckland, New Zealand.

She had the opportunity to connect with over 1,000 students through school presentations, college fairs, and coffee meetings with students and parents.
