Paul & Ethel Gould

Paul & Ethel Gould work with graduate students and professors as part of the Faculty Commons, a division of Campus Crusade for Christ.

The Gould’s believe that university professors (and future professors—i.e., graduate students) are some of the most influential people in society. In many ways, professors get to tell us what to think about what is good, true and beautiful. And they shape what students consider plausibly true or false. Thus, professors truly are an Archimedean lever that God can use to win students, and ultimately the world, to Christ.

2010 Recap:

In 2010, Paul finished his PhD in philosophy at Purdue University and the family successfully moved to Durham, North Carolina and started their new role as national leaders of the faculty ministry. Paul had the opportunity to go to New Zealand and teach graduate students from around the world about how to live missional lives as professors. The family is doing well and grateful for their visit to L.A. last year.
