The C.S. Lewis Institute in Washington D.C. is designed to develop disciples who can articulate, defend, share and live faith in Christ in public and personal life.

The Fellows Program
The CSLI Fellows Program offers a year of intensive training that leads to significant life-change. Unlike many discipleship programs, the Fellows program focuses on discipleship of both heart and mind. It involves Bible study, classic readings, lectures, group processing, personal spiritual mentoring and accountability — all in the context of a small group of like-minded believers. This year-long program is designed for those who want to live as fully committed disciples of Jesus Christ and make an impact for him in the world.

She has a big heart for missions, has served in a small village on the shores of Lake Atitlan in Guatemala for over 20 years and sponsors 5 children from there.
