“Whether it’s at UBC or BAHA, I’m so passionate about pouring into the next generation of worship leaders and Jesus followers! It’s so important for me to cultivate special connections with the students who are currently on my worship teams and have been intentional about pouring into them, as well as seeing growth take place both in their spiritual journeys and musical pathways. It is an incredible blessing to see how these students have grown over the last several years and to be a big part of that process is so rewarding!“ — Ben Sandstrom
