FALL 2015
a message from the president
I thank God for what he has done through
friends like you. With immense gratitude for
God’s provision, I am humbled to announce that
our comprehensive fundraising campaign is now
complete with gifts totaled over $30.5 million
for our “For Such A Time As This” campaign, far
exceeding our original $27.5 million goal! Over
5,000 individuals, firms, and foundations made gifts
to the university; over 1,500 of those made their
very first gift to LETU in this campaign.
With the advancements that have been made
possible in this campaign, LETU is poised for a bright
future. You can learn more on pages 24-25.
We are thankful for our many donors whose
names are listed in these pages, for their financial
gifts, prayer support, and encouragement. Our
mission is to inspire our graduates to see their life’s
work as a holy calling with eternal impact. For
many, that life’s work may include using a variety of
technology in their calling.
Not a day goes by that we don’t hear stories
about how the use of technology compromises our
privacy in potentially harmful ways, especially as
technology becomes more and more pervasive in
our everyday lives.
Computer hackers, some working directly for
foreign governments, daily seek to steal sensitive
data from U.S. corporations, our military and
governmental entities. Hospitals and other medical
service providers are targeted daily for disclosure
of private medical records and identifying patient
information. We can even look to the skies to see
video surveillance causing precedent-setting privacy
concerns from an ever-widening drone industry.
How should a Christ-centered university that
seeks to be relevant and make an impact in every
workplace in every nation respond to these kinds of
societal issues?
LeTourneau University’s School of Business
and Technology is launching a new cyber security
degree program next fall. SOBAT is already offering
online health care management and administration
programs that prepare professionals dealing with
medical data security. LETU recognizes the need
for business professionals now and in the future to
know how to defend proprietary data and protect
privacy.
Our School of Aviation and Aeronautical Science
also has recently launched the first remotely piloted
aircraft, or "drone," program in the state of Texas to
train pilots, maintenance technicians and electronics
designers for this evolving and expanding field.
There is no better place to teach professionals to
handle this technology than a university like LETU
that is based on a Christian worldview.

Defending Privacy
With
Cybersecurity
Education
Written by Janet Ragland
4 | NOW Magazine | Fall 2015
Privacy is under attack. Cybersecurity and data
privacy is big news . . . and big business.
Hardly a day goes by that news headlines don’t
scream about the latest cybersecurity attack in
which individuals, corporations and governmental
organizations have had their computer systems
hacked.
Just this past June, the White House admitted
that a breach of U.S. government computer systems
in the Office of Personnel Management resulted in
the theft of data pertaining to more than 21 million
individuals—many of whom are federal employees.
Rumors are the hackers were linked to China.
Some have called it the biggest data breach in
U.S. history.
Compromised data included names, ages,
birthdates, social security numbers, financial
information, physical and mental health
information, criminal histories, residence and
employment histories, and names of family
members and acquaintances — even usernames
and passwords that prospective employees used to
fill out online employment application forms.
Theft of this data by hackers around the globe
is serious. Identity theft is a real threat, not to
mention the threat of losing proprietary corporate
information that destroys competitive advantage
or secret governmental information that places our
national security at risk.
The growth of the cybersecurity industry is
on an upward trajectory that some anticipate will
reach over $170 billion in the next five years, by
the year 2020. The job outlook for information
security analysts is on that same upward trajectory,
estimated to grow 37% from 2012 to 2022,
much faster than the average for all occupations,
according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Information security analysts who devise
innovative solutions to block hackers earn a median
pay of around $86,000 and can climb to six-figure
salaries with experience. Professional expertise with
Christian ethics is essential to numerous industries
from banking, data processing, healthcare and
more.
Cybersecurity education and developing
professionals who can promote responsible
LeTourneau University | 5
cybersecurity protections and protocols is key,
which makes LeTourneau University’s new Bachelor
of Science in Cybersecurity degree, set to launch in
Fall 2016, a fundamental part of the solution to this
growing global threat.
Championing LETU’s new cybersecurity
degree offering is Dr. Ron Sones, the Calvin Howe
Professor of Business and new dean of LETU’s
School of Business and Technology, which recently
reorganized to include the department of computer
science.
Sones is an expert in cybersecurity. His
professional industry experience began as a
computer programmer analyst with Computer
Sciences Corporation. He advanced from analyst
to director, developing software systems for the
Department of Defense and its associated agencies.
After 13 years in the computing industry handling
information systems, Sones recognized the need for
more cybersecurity professionals, so he transitioned
to a career in academia in 1997, teaching at
University of Mary Hardin Baylor, James Madison
University and Liberty University before coming to
LETU in 2014.
Working for the U.S. government with a top
secret clearance for many years, Sones takes data
security seriously. He understands the difficulties
of data theft. That is why you won’t find him on
Facebook or Twitter. He is intentionally cautious
about the digital footprint he leaves.
“In technology, it is very easy to make giant
leaps forward very quickly,” Sones said. “You see
how quickly mobile applications have proliferated.
The history of computing as an industry has made it
relatively easy to come up with the next scathingly
brilliant idea, but many of these ideas have a
downside, that their creators never intended.
“Many of these were created in much the same
way our nation was,” Sones said. “It was based on
Christian principles. We have created something
great, but it is based on the fact that Christian men
and women will be the caretakers of this grand
experiment. The creators of this country put things
together with little thought about the downside
and the unintended consequences, and sometimes
6 | NOW Magazine | Fall 2015
those unintended consequences are ethically,
morally and legally challenging.”
Sones reports that social media is a prime
example, citing how Facebook has contributed to a
rising divorce rate.
“A study done about six years ago reported that
a quarter of the divorces in the United Kingdom
were directly attributed to Facebook—people
catching up with old flames and rekindling high
school love affairs,” he said. “And almost daily,
you will find stories of people, many with large
public personas, being forced to apologize about a
comment they made on Twitter.
“An expressed thought that before would have
been heard by two or three people is now heard by
"Once it is
out there,
it never dies."
hundreds of thousands,” he said. “Some have lost
jobs over their comments. Once it is out there, it
never dies.”
Sones says today’s technology has
tremendously enabled data theft. He says LETU’s
new cybersecurity program will empower wellintentioned businesses, ministries and service
organizations to use technology wisely and find
cost-effective, secure digital means to store, collect
and access their data.
“LeTourneau is the premier STEM Christian
university in the country, therefore we have the
academic excellence, the commitment, and the
unwavering Christian foundation to prepare
students to excel in this field,” Sones said.

Protecting Privacy in
Health Care
Written by Janet Ragland
Picture this. You just opened a letter from your
doctor’s office saying that your electronic medical
records have been compromised.
Not only have your personal and confidential
medical history and health information been stolen,
but hackers now have your name, address, phone
number, age, birthdate, social security number and
employer information that they could use to commit
fraud against you. Hackers could steal your identity,
open bank accounts in your name, ruin your credit,
and complicate your life.
And that’s not to mention that your health
information could, under the wrong circumstances,
even cost you a job or a job promotion.
What if your medical records indicate you’ve
been treated for mental illness, cancer or other
costly medical issues? That could compromise your
opportunities for advancement with your current
employer or a potential employer.
Privacy of our personal health information has
to be managed with utmost professionalism, which
is why LeTourneau University’s undergraduate
healthcare management and graduate healthcare
administration programs are designed to prepare
professionals to exemplify excellence and to lead in
this essential industry.
8 | NOW Magazine | Fall 2015
Dr. Bryan Schneider is the director of LETU’s
graduate healthcare administration program and is
an assistant professor of health care administration.
Dr. Velma Payne is the chair of LETU’s undergraduate
healthcare management and information systems
programs and an assistant professor of healthcare
administration and management. Both have a wide
depth of knowledge and extensive experience in
healthcare education.
Growth in the field of healthcare management
is projected to rise 23% in the decade from 2012
through 2022, which is higher than the national
average, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Earning potential is great, with an average annual
salary of nearly $90,000 for medical and health
service managers and senior executives earning
$200,000 or significantly more, depending on
experience and achievements.
Whether working for a doctor’s office,
a hospital, a health insurance company, or a
company that handles patient billing, healthcare
administration and management provides a variety
of career growth opportunities.
Both LETU’s undergraduate and graduate
programs have been designed in collaboration with
top-tier health care management professionals,
LeTourneau University | 9
including local and regional hospital CEOs, CFOs,
presidents and vice presidents.
Schneider says that faith and work integration is
intrinsic to LETU’s programs.
“Concepts of ethics, integrity and service
are interwoven throughout LETU’s coursework
in each class,” Schneider said. “Integrating faith
into classroom content and discussions of realworld issues encourages students to see how their
decisions and actions can align with God’s teaching
and how their faith should inform their professional
decisions and actions.”
To protect patient privacy, the primary law
restricting the sharing of medical information is
known as the Health Insurance Portability and
10 | NOW Magazine | Fall 2015
Accountability Act (HIPAA). Violations to HIPAA
bring steep penalties ranging from as low as $100 to
as high as $1.5 million, and in some cases, criminal
charges can be filed for negligence with medical
records.
With the high costs of these kinds of breaches,
companies handling medical records need to create
their own privacy policies about how they collect
information, what they collect, how they use it, how
they encrypt and safeguard it, and with whom it
can be shared. Failure to do so could result in legal
liability for any company that doesn’t adhere to its
own privacy policy.
“LETU’s healthcare management and
administration programs teach about HIPAA,
security practices, applications and software
designed to ensure patient records are secure,”
Payne said. “We teach about data encryption, best
practices and protecting health information. We
teach about the day-to-day operations involved
in healthcare management and administration,
how data flows through the organization and
how corporations should implement safeguards
necessary to maintain patient privacy.”
“If a patient is not
comfortable with how
their data is being
handled, they may fail
to provide critical data,
which could result in
an incorrect or
delayed diagnosis...
that could be fatal.”
Dr. Bryan Schneider
“It’s not only software but employee practices,
including not discussing a patient in the hallways
where others can overhear,” Payne said. “And we
teach that you don’t transmit patient information
to just anybody who asks for it. The request for
information has to fit within strict criteria to ensure
patient data is private.”
But another serious concern arises when it
comes to accurate and complete healthcare data.
“If a patient is not comfortable with how their data
is being handled, they may fail to provide critical
data, which could result in an incorrect or delayed
diagnosis,” she said. “That could be fatal.”

Drone. The word conjures fear in some,
excitement and market potential in others.
To some people, stories of invasion of privacy,
near-misses with airliners, and even remote
weapons being controlled an ocean away are what
comes to mind.
To others, the potential of using a technology
that is forecast to grow $10 billion in the next
12 | NOW Magazine | Fall 2015
10 years is an exciting prospect. However
misunderstood, drones are here to stay.
Chris Anderson, CEO of 3D Robotics, one of the
largest drone companies in the USA, recently stated
that modern drones used for both hobbies and
business are less airplanes without pilots than they
are “smartphones with propellers.” In fact, a smart
phone-integrated quadcopter was recently featured
"Drone.
The word conjures fear
in some, excitement
and market potential
in others."
on the TV show Shark Tank and the crowd-funded
website Kickstarter.
As people become more familiar and
comfortable with the technology, safety and privacy
concerns become paramount.
The Federal Aviation Administration has been
working tirelessly to create and enforce unmanned
aircraft regulations since Congress charged them in
2012 with an effort to modernize aviation safety.
However, the regulations the FAA creates are
focused on safety, and will not provide guidance
on protection of privacy. In an effort to fill the gap,
nearly all of the 50 states in the U.S. have drafted
their own drone privacy laws.
Texas state law, for example, prohibits collection
of images from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)
except under 19 specific industries and uses.
Colleges and universities may use images collected
from a UAV for research. Petroleum companies
may use UAVs to monitor pipelines and inspect
infrastructure.
Any business or individual not listed in the
specific exemptions are, therefore, likely to be
charged with a crime for collecting pictures of other
people without their permission. Many of the state
laws that are filling in the gaps on privacy are based
on previously coded “peeping Tom” laws, with some
being more restrictive than others.

LETU Instructor Ruedi Schubarth
teaches students to become
skilled RPA pilots, maintenance
technicians and electronics
designers.
14 | NOW Magazine | Fall 2015
An important point to note is that it isn’t the
technology doing the spying. It’s the person or
entity controlling the technology.
The responsibility for protection of privacy rests
with everyone.
UAV operators must be responsible to control
their aircraft and protect the safety and privacy
of people not involved with their operations. This
includes knowledge of the privacy laws in the states
where they are operating.
Governments must be responsible to develop
guidelines that protect the safety and privacy of
their citizens while allowing a vibrant industry to
grow and expand to its potential.
Citizens must be responsible to educate
themselves on their rights and must know how
they are protected. In most cases, if you have good
reason to believe you are being illegally spied upon,
you should contact your local police department
and/or sheriff’s office. They may not yet even know
the laws, but awareness is growing through efforts
to educate law enforcement across the country on
the safety and privacy aspects of drone operation.
LeTourneau University’s new drone program has
established its mission to include nurturing Christian
virtue, integrating faith and work, and serving
the local and global community as it relates to
designing, handling and operating drones.
In LETU’s new Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems
(RPAS) program, students can choose between three
concentrations: pilot, technician, and electronics.
Each of these three degree concentrations includes
FAA pilot or mechanic certificates, and will include
a drone operator’s certificate as soon as it becomes
available through the FAA.
Throughout LETU’s RPA curriculum, students will
learn to design, program, test, and use drones for
multiple applications.
As part of LETU’s School of Aviation &
Aeronautical Science, the RPAS degree will benefit
from the tradition of excellence that has been the
hallmark of professional aviation training, preparing
graduates to make a difference in every workplace
and every nation.
Specifically, RPAS students will become
skilled operators, able to professionally navigate
the complicated industry while integrating their
Christian virtue into their work. They will be
encouraged to deal with substantive issues of
drone use, including privacy, in a complicated
and maturing legal environment, with integrity in
operations, even when others may appear to be
getting ahead by cheating the system.
To encourage safety and protection of privacy,
unmanned LETU flights will be conducted over
land with restricted access – in most cases, private
land with written permission from the land owner.
This prevents passers-by from accessing the flight
area (increasing safety) and also prevents private
property owners from being captured on video or
images without their knowledge.
Teaching students to be mindful of safety and
privacy while operating an aircraft professionally will
continue to be the primary focus of the RemotelyPiloted Aircraft Systems program. Future graduates
will enter a growing industry with skills and a sense
of ethics that will set them apart and bring glory to
God.

have made that goal, but we have received and
committed a total of over $30.5 million dollars!”
said LETU President Dr. Dale A. Lunsford during the
university’s campaign gala celebration Nov. 5 in the
Allen Family Student Center, which is one of the
buildings that was supported by the campaign.
Prior to the evening’s banquet, LETU students
showcased many of their projects for donors and
invited guests.
The $30.5 million total
was reached through gifts
from nearly 5,000 donors from
across the country. 31% of
those donors were first time
givers and nearly 30% were
alumni.
The successful fundraising
campaign has enabled the
university to provide funding
for five of the pillars of its
strategic plan, including
1) increasing endowed
scholarships for students, 2)
funding academic excellence
research initiatives 3)
expanding faith and work
integration, 4) realizing
much-needed campus improvements
and 5) growing global service learning
opportunities.
LETU has been able to nearly triple its
student scholarships, making a profound
difference for families facing tough
economic times. Increased faculty research
funding and technology improvements
in labs and
classrooms have
expanded handson learning
opportunities.
The campaign
also enabled
LETU’s Center for
Faith and Work
to host a Faith@
Work Summit in
Boston this past
year, and the
CFW is currently
planning next
year’s Summit
in Dallas. The
Center helps to
set LETU apart
as a university
where students
don’t separate faith on Sunday from work
on Monday.
“When we do our work—the work that
LETU President Dr. Dale A. Lunsford greeted Mrs. Louise
LeTourneau, widow of LETU’s former president Dr. Richard
LeTourneau, who was the son of the university’s founders.
Attending with Mrs. LeTourneau were her son, Caleb, his wife,
Kathy (at his right), and daughter-in-law Virginia LeTourneau,
wife of Mrs. LeTourneau’s son, Gil (not pictured).
God has called
us to do—with
excellence, we
serve and honor
Him, and are able
to be ambassadors
in the workplace,
as salt and light,”
Lunsford said.
“With this in mind,
we believe nonChristians can
find Jesus in the
workplace.”
The campus
improvements
covered by the
campaign include
the new Sidney
and Anna Lee Allen
Family Student Center and the Joyce
Family Athletic Village. The student
center, built at the heart of the campus,
LeTourneau University | 23
is where students meet, play, work
together on school projects and
seek tutoring, as well as just hang
out and have fun. The athletic
village includes improved soccer
and baseball/softball facilities,
including a 6,000 square foot field
house. The athletic fields are
where teamwork, sportsmanship
and fitness are practiced and
modeled for intramurals and
LETU’s 13 NCAA Division III sports.
The campaign enabled LETU’s
international reach to grow, as
the university has sent faculty
and students abroad to use their
ingenuity to impact the world,
including building water wells
in Senegal, making wheelchair
improvements in Kenya and
Guatemala, providing marriage
counseling in Chile, sharing nursing
education in Guatemala and civil engineering in
Haiti. Generous funding has enabled $1,000 student
engagement grants to encourage more students to
consider a global experience as part of their college
experience.

Dr. Aaron Kuecker
Finding Kingdom Work in Every Vocation
Written by Sara Schleicher. Photography by Janet Ragland
Shelves of books line the walls of Dr. Kuecker's office,
a warm and inviting space. A comfortable leather couch
has welcomed many students asking questions or seeking
advice. He smiles warmly as he speaks about his students.
"I love teaching, I will probably never love anything
more than I love to teach, but I also love to dream big
about Christian Higher Education. I'm taken by what is
possible for Christian communities of learning," says
Dr. Aaron Kuecker, Dean of the School of Theology
and Vocation and Professor of Theology. "When we're
intentional about what we do here at LeTourneau, really
good and rich things happen."
Kuecker grew up in the small town of Denver, Iowa.
Like many college students, when he began his own
undergraduate studies at Iowa's Central College, he had a
career in mind, but not a real sense of calling.
"I went to college to study political science and prelaw," says Kuecker. "But mainly I went because I wanted to
play basketball."
That choice led him to join a para-church organization
called Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship.
"I grew up in a Christian family, and Inter-Varsity
Christian Fellowship was the community in which my own
faith came alive."
It was during this time at Central College that Kuecker
found his calling, as well. "I came to this spot where
I couldn't really imagine doing something other than
ministry."
His undergraduate student experiences also planted in
his mind the idea of becoming a college professor.
"I had a couple of professors that helped me see what
a faculty member could be in the life of a student," he
said. "They were invested in my life and took my questions
seriously. From my interactions with those professors,
I thought that a good way to spend my life would be
teaching at a college campus."
After graduating from Central College in 1998 and
spending seven years in local church ministry in Michigan,
Kuecker began to earn his doctorate in New Testament
Studies at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.
Kuecker served as an associate professor of Theology
at Trinity Christian College prior to arriving at LeTourneau
in 2013 as Director of the Honors College, as well as a
theology professor. His role in the honors college enabled
him to bring students together in an intentional community
of learning and spiritual growth.
For Kuecker, the School of Theology and Vocation
builds on that same community concept, but in a way
that engages every student on campus. Built into every
degree offered at LeTourneau is an opportunity for spiritual
growth and for all students to explore their own vocations
can impact the world for Christ.
"It's really exciting to think about how the School of
Theology and Vocation can offer its gifts broadly to the
campus by sharing the idea of what we're trying to do as a
university," says Kuecker. "We hope we can serve as a hub
for the theological formation of our campus."
Coupled with spiritual formation, the School of
Theology and Vocation provides a forum for all LETU
students to learn what it really means to connect faith and
work.
"All of our students are engaging the biblical narrative
and theology of the church," says Kuecker. "But they're
doing it with an eye on how this knowledge applies to their
specific vocation. What is a civil engineer for? What is an
accountant for in God's world?"
These conversations force students to look beyond the
traditional view of how faith and work coincide.
"When most students initially think about what it
means to be a Christian in their chosen field, they might
describe that role as meaning you should be ethical, see
your job as a place to practice evangelism, and do your job
with excellence.
"What we're trying to do, and what students can
really see, is that there are ways that their work itself can
be aligned with the things that God cares about and the
things that are closely connected to God's kingdom. " This
dialogue helps students understand how it's possible to
intentionally make their work part of their Christian calling.
"Students start to see that their work can be
inherently very meaningful," he said. "An easy example is
Jesus' concern with broken bodies. There are ways that the
work of our nursing students or biomedical engineers is so
deeply connected with that Kingdom concern with bodies
and their health."
Of course, before any growth or discovery can happen,
students have to be ready to learn. And Kuecker sees this
as an area where God has truly blessed LeTourneau.
"One of the gifts that LeTourneau has is that, for
whatever reason, there's a pretty special kind of student
who shows up here," he said. "Students are very earnest
- they want to learn, they want to grow, and they want to
be a part of a vibrant community. I think that's actually a
pretty unique gift that God has given this place."

Every Workplace. Every Nation.
Phil Burks: Serving Christ
As A Business Owner
Edited and photographed by Janet Ragland.
P
hil Burks of Tyler, Texas, graduated from LeTourneau College in 1974 with a
degree in electrical engineering technology. Back in his days as a “Techo,”
he and two others nearly single-handedly put KHYM, a 5000-watt gospel radio
station on the air. Burks worked at the campus’ KLET radio station, then later
called the YellowJackets basketball games for KRFO-AM, becoming a fulltime
DJ there. During his junior and senior years of college, he was a news reporter
for KLTV, the local ABC affiliate in Tyler. Today, he is the CEO and founder of The
Genesis Group, a communications industry service company.
How and why did you choose to attend
LeTourneau? When I was about 14 years old, my Sunday
school teacher in Bristol, PA., told us of this magical
place called Texas that he had just visited—a place
where you can get your driver’s license at 15! He
had our attention! He then told of a man named
R.G. LeTourneau, who created a company in Texas,
designing giant earthmoving equipment for the
world. He told how R.G. gave 90% of his income to
the Lord and kept 10% for himself. That stuck with
me. So, when it came time to apply for college, I
only applied to LeTourneau. I’m glad I was accepted!
How did your experience at
LeTourneau impact you?
The true core of what I learned was the ability
to begin and end something without quitting. I
learned scientific thinking and creative problem
solving. All of my professors encouraged what we
now call ‘thinking outside the box.’ To this day, I’m
known as a person who thinks differently about how
to solve problems.
I also learned how to mentor. My calculus
professor had a heart for his students. A runner, he
would run in the evenings from his Longview home
back to campus to check in and help us understand
our homework. He encouraged and listened to us. I
38 | NOW Magazine | Fall 2014
think if Jesus had been a math professor, he would
have looked like that professor.
How has the Longview campus
changed since you were a student?
I recently helped a childhood friend move
his son into Thomas Hall and went to the wrong
building twice! I am a bit nostalgic, because
we had a lot of fun as the barracks were being
decommissioned and deconstructed. We ‘borrowed’
boards and other material to make shelves and even
elaborate bookcases. We would race bikes through
the labyrinth of barracks. I love the look and feel of
the campus today, though I do miss the ‘tree house’
type of fun we had.
Tell us about your company.
My wife, Bobbie, and I began The Genesis Group
in 1989. She operated a PR firm, and I turned some
personal-use software into a commercial product.
We hired our first employee in 1992 and were
scared to death, not knowing how we were going to
pay him. He still works for us.
The first 10 years were difficult, but like R.G., I
had cut the word ‘quit’ out of my dictionary. Oh, I
wanted to quit many times, but I couldn’t bail on
the commitment I made to myself, God, my wife,
and—in a strange way—to R.G. If Mr. LeTourneau
could do it, so could I. One day, I had $5,000
in bills to pay sitting on my desk and only $150 in
the bank. I had no idea where the money would
come from. I prayed hard and told God that if He
wanted to shut it all down, it would be hard for me
to understand, but I’d go along with it. Within 15
minutes, the phone rang with a consulting job worth
exactly $5,000! R.G. experienced many similar
events in his life. God simply asks for our willingness
to let go and trust Him.
Today, we have 56 employees in an ultramodern advanced technology building in Tyler,
Texas. We also have an office in the United Kingdom
and affiliates in Australia and Mexico. Our software
helps manage and operate giant, two-way radio
and public safety communications networks. Our
software customer list contains many names we
can’t share, but many start with “The City of…,”
“The County of…,” The State of…,” “The Province
of…,” and “The Country of….”. Motorola, our
largest customer, owns about 70% of the global
market for two-way radio communications. We also
have created software to more efficiently dispatch
ambulances and other first responders, based on
crowd-sourced traffic information from Waze. Much
more can be seen at www.GenesisWorld.com
Describe how you integrate your faith
in your workplace.
I have never been a person to beat Christ
into anyone or guilt someone to love Him. I have
been called to live Christ by example. While we do
not discuss anyone’s beliefs during interviews, a
majority of our employees are born again believers
in Jesus Christ. We hire the right people with the
right skill set for the job, no matter their beliefs.
However, having so many believers in our company
makes it a JOY to come to work, given that common
bond. In our company-wide team meetings, it is
clear that we are a praying company, and we want
40 | NOW Magazine | Fall 2015
to
know how we can pray for
our employees and their families. In crisis situations,
we have been known to send an email to all
employees about an impromptu prayer circle for a
specific need, and about 10 to 15 people drop what
they are doing and show up to pray. We also teach
our employees how to give. Last Christmas, we were
able to give a larger than average bonus, and we
asked our team members to consider giving 10% or
more of that bonus to a charity or entity that helps
those in need.
When I was giving a tour of our building to some
local Tyler firefighters in September of 2014, I told
them that “This is God’s business, and I just show
up each day and ask Him what I’m supposed to do.”
About three months ago, I learned that one of the
firefighters on the tour began asking questions of a
fellow firefighter and has since asked Jesus into his
heart. I love watching God work!
What advice would you have for others
who might be considering LETU?
You can get an education most anywhere,
but if you are looking for not only a place to think
outside the box, but also a place that will ignite
your curiosity to build a better box, LeTourneau is
that place. Integrated learning is important—to
apply what you are learning as you learn and get a
team of hands involved in the process. Prospective
students may not know exactly the calling God
wants for the rest of their lives when they apply, but
at LeTourneau, you will maximize every opportunity
to learn what God has in store for you.
