Meet Ethan Mathews

My name is Ethan Mathews, and I am in my third year studying Student Ministry. When I am not studying at Geneva or having a blast in Scotland, I live at home with my family in Columbus, Indiana. During the summers I work at a Christ-centered children’s ministry called New Song Mission as the supervising summer intern. I do not have much pinned down for what I will be doing after college. My dreams so far is to teach Bible or Humanities at a Christian school near home, at my Church’s co-op, or maybe even become a professor at Geneva!  I have two churches I attend regularly. I am a member of the Reformed Presbyterian Church of Columbus, which I attend at home. I attend Tusca RPC while at Geneva with some of my RP friends.   Some interesting details about me: I love to make people laugh. I wouldn’t say I am a comedian (I’m not that talented), but I do love seeing people smile and laugh; I believe it’s one of God’s greatest gifts to us. I love to read, mostly fiction, though I am a happy man with a Biblical commentary in front of me. I enjoy discussing theology, though I hope to grow in experience in defending my viewpoints. I’m starting to get into film making and photography, so you might see me running around with a camera when not studying. If I am not busy talking to people, or reading, and playing with my camera, you’ll most definitely see me playing a video game on my handheld device. Lastly, I love food.

Rosie PerkinsHi! My name is Rosie Perkins and I am from Prescott Presbyterian Church.  I live in the deserts of Arizona with my parents & sister & two brothers, as well as three dogs, a cat and a goldfish.  My dad has been the pastor of our little church for the last 16 years and –small world– Beth Bogue’s father often preaches for our congregation when my dad is out of town.  I am a Biblical Studies major entering my final year at Geneva. I had the pleasure of meeting Pastor Quigley when he visited campus last Fall and spoke at a Bible study about the reality of Hell.  My friends who have done the Semester in Scotland program speak well of you all, and my friend Matthew Sexton also has high praise for you. I am looking forward to meeting you, learning from you, and serving in your church!  We SO appreciate your prayers for us. 🙂 Please let us know how we can be praying for you as well!

I’m Jennie Smith.  I was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and have lived half of my life on the North Side of the city. When I was entering middle school I moved 30 minutes north to the suburb, Cranberry Township and that’s where I live today. I am involved in my community and work for Cranberry Township’s Parks and Recreation Summer camp as a coordinator for the counselor in training program. I also work part-time as a habilitation aide to a family with a child with special needs. For the past two years I have worked as a BIble Teaching Assistant for the BIble Department at Geneva.  I attend Dutilh United Methodist Church in Cranberry Township and am active in my church. I have taught Sunday School for years, worked in the nursery, helped with Vacation Bible School, ran a disability ministry training, gone on mission trips and sang in the choir.  At Geneva I have a dual major in Missions and Human Services with a minor in Psychology. This coming year I will be a senior. Upon graduation, my plan is to attend graduate school and study Clinical Counseling with a concentration in behavior analysis. I eventually will work in diagnosing and creating treatment plans for individuals with autism and behavioral disorders. God has called me to work with individuals in the disability community and currently this is the path He has me going down. I cannot wait to come to Scotland and join your community there! Until then, God bless!

David BeerI’m David Beer, and I’m from a small town known as Sarver.  I have two churches I attend, one at school and one at home.  At home, my church is Evangel Heights Assembly of God, about 4-5 minutes from my house, while at school, I attend Beaver Falls First Assembly of God, which is 5-8 minutes from Geneva.  This semester, I will be starting my Senior year (final year) of university and I am studying Applied Mathematics.  Random facts about me: I am sometimes a bit of a techy.  I love to play soccer, sorry, wrong country, football, and I love playing my electric bass, which I usually play at church.  I also play acoustic guitar, but I’m not as good with that.  I tend to be quiet at first, but get to know me, and I sometimes have a hard time shutting up.
Looking forward to this semester!
Sincerely,
David Beer

I’m from Walden, New York. I grew up in the Coldenham-Newburgh RPC but while at Geneva, attended First RPC of Beaver Falls.  I am a second semester senior, so this Fall semester will be my last.  When I graduate, I will have a major in Biblical Studies with a minor in Chemistry.
