Emmanuel Newsletter April • May • June 2015 Welcome to Luke Breeze I’ Luke and Julie Breeze d like to introduce you to Luke Breeze, our new Assistant Student Ministry Director. Luke discovered his passion for ministering to teenagers while serving as Assistant Site Pastor at Emmanuel Bible Chapel in Hazleton, PA. To add, Luke accepted Christ as a teenager as part of his youth group while in Jr. High. He has an incredible passion to know Jesus more and influence teens to love Jesus too. Luke was married to his wife Julie in August of 2013. She too, is from the northeast part of the state. They came to our area for Julie to study at Mount Aloysius to be an interpreter for the deaf. Julie is involved as a leader in the college ministry on the campus of Mount Aloysius. She has a strong desire to spiritually invest in young ladies and see their faith grow. Luke brings a unique skill set to our staff with a Audio Production/Engineering degree from The Institute of Production and Recording in Minneapolis, MN. Also, Luke has great experience with video production and a firm grasp on current technology. This is a huge asset in ministering to our tech savvy teens and parents. Luke has musical experience, as he is an avid banjo player and percussionist. He has great plans to continue the development of a youth band that can minister to our church and other area teens. Luke is in the process of finishing a Bachelors of Arts in Leadership and Ministry from Ohio Christian University. Luke will be able to finish his degree via the internet as he is enrolled in the “Online Studies” program. The Lord has provided us a great young man to join the staff here at Emmanuel. Please be sure to pray for Luke and Julie Breeze as they settle in to the rhythm of ministry. y - n April 28th- “Unbroken” A World War !! Story Women’s of Survival , Resilience & Redemption.
