"So
he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart,
And guided them with his skillful hands." - Psalm
78:72 |
The
Christian Challenge staff is as diverse as any group on
campus.
They come from different backgrounds, have different interests,
are at different stages of life and have enjoyed a wide
variety of differing experiences.
One thing they share in common is their deep love for
Christ and their heart-felt commitment to see students
know Him intimately and walk with Him for a lifetime.

Neil & Melinda Walker
|
Hospitable and hilarious, the Walker family has been impacting
lives at USC for 20 years. Providing a home
away from home in a safe family environment,
their home has served as a place where students
can experience first hand the balanced integration
of real life and ministry, which encourages
them to walk with God long-term.
Neil has served as Director of USC Christian
Challenge since 1988. He and Melinda live in
Monterey Park. They have four grown children,
Jennifer, Micah, Jeremy & Samuel. |

loves to learn about different cultures and enjoys
the friendships she has made during her 9 years at

to make videos for Challenge, she finds more fulfillment
in sharing meals with students, discovering life's
purpose in small group Bible studies, and watching
lives change over time.
