STUDENT SPOTLIGHT | JAYSON AND CHRISTINA BAYER
Jayson Bayer and his wife, Christina, are from Carthage, Texas! After attending the Church of Christ in Wildwood, they are grateful to now call Bear Valley home for the next two years.
Jayson is preparing to preach, teach, and serve the church, with a desire to faithfully share God’s Word wherever the Lord leads. Before coming to Bear Valley, he served as a police officer, healthcare specialist, Combat Medic, and Military Police member in the U.S. military. He also helped train missionaries preparing to serve in dangerous locations.
Jayson and Christina’s journey to Bear Valley began when their vehicle unexpectedly broke down nearby while they were traveling throughout the western United States. Having previously heard of Bear Valley, Jayson attended worship services and eventually sat in on classes at the Bible Institute. What seemed like an unfortunate setback became an opportunity that changed the direction of their lives.
Christina enjoys arts and crafts and has a heart for serving the church, especially working with youth. Together, they are thankful to be part of the Bear Valley family as they continue preparing for wherever the Lord leads them.
Sometimes an unexpected detour leads us exactly where we need to be. For Jayson and Christina, that road led to Bear Valley, and they are grateful it did!
