Episode 23 \u2502 Jeff Beste – <\/b>People Connector<\/b><\/p>\n
Jeff Beste, Cedarville\u2019s Director of Strategic Relations, is well suited for his role developing and maintaining connections with parents, alumni, and supporters of Cedarville University. His 34-year career, from admissions, to Christian ministries, student life, alumni relations, and serving as an adjunct math instructor, has been all about people \u2014 building relationships and serving them well in Jesus\u2019 name.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Not bad for a guy who planned to have only a tiny connection with Cedarville for a year and then move on to another school. But that one year as a student turned into four years where he earned his degree and was changed by the connections God brought him with Cedarville \u201cheroes\u201d who shaped his faith and his life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Then when Jeff returned to work for Cedarville, he was influenced even further by important connections with people like Dave Ormsbee, Jim Cato, and the legendary Dick Walker.<\/span><\/p>\n And as important as these pivotal connections have been, it\u2019s his relationship with God that has influenced him the most. As Jeff has learned, all of life is worship to the One who is head over all, through whom the whole church is connected, Jesus Christ.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
