You will spend a lot of time with the house facilitators while at Perea School of Ministry. Every week you will have time with the same gendered house facilitator in one-on-ones. We thought it is important for you to know a little bit about each of the house facilitators and their heart. Jens and Monika (Moe) Sundem got married on July 28th 2002 in Western Washington where they both grew up. Their marriage has been one centered on serving the Lord and the people He brings into their path. They know that the Lord brought them together to show this world who He is.

Jens Sundem:

I met the Lord in 1995 through Young Life. Joe Hoppis told me about Jesus and I knew that I knew that He is what I needed. From the moment I fell in love with Jesus, I have been trying to tell others about Him. I helped lead Young Life at my high school, then lead middle school young life while at Western Washington University for four years, and interned with Young Life in Marysville WA for another two years. During that internship I was also a youth pastor for Woodside New Life Church. Since then I have received my Masters of Divinity through Liberty Seminary and am licensed with the Assemblies of God.

The Father has gifted me to be able to speak publically and has put in me a passion to see lost teenagers fall in love with Jesus. I love the outdoors and know that the Lord chose me to be a part of Perea Ministries because of those giftings and passions.

It has been an honor to see those the Lord has had me invest in change others. There is almost nothing as rewarding as watching a student I have poured my life into invest their life into another. Making disciples who make disciples is so much more than just a motto for me, it is the Lord’s calling on my life.

Moe Sundem:

I asked Jesus to be Lord of my life in 1995 at an adventure camp called JH Ranch. I grew up trying to get out of going to Sunday school. While I knew a lot about God, He did not open the eyes of my heart until I was 15 years old. Since then I have been passionately pursuing a relationship with Him. I beg Him to refine me, give me wisdom, and use me to influence those around me to fall in love with Him. I have worked training young ladies in a variety of settings for ministry, as well as spent years in leadership roles in youth and outreach ministries in WA.

God has created me to be an exhorter, and has given me a passion for one on one discipleship and investment. I am a firm believer that God always gets the most bang for His buck, so while I have seen many grow, I have been grown much as well in the process. Praise Him that none of us are finished and that He always knows how to refine and challenge us where we are at!
