Benjamin VanTol


   I am currently a junior at Davis College, studying in the Pastoral Bible Exposition concentration. I am working towards becoming a youth pastor one day, which is the ministry I feel God has called me. I love picking apart the Bible especially the New Testament, I love looking at the Greek and studying what the original message would have been in their world. I have been working at the Davis Library for about 1 ½ years now.
   I love it here. There are so many books here and when I am  checking to make sure the shelves are in order, I never fail to see a interesting book that I hadn't seen before and I find myself checking them out of the library so I can read them.
    My favorite part of working here is the people, I love helping people find the information they are looking for.
I have a blog that I don't update very often, but when I feel like I have a thought to share I put it there.

    Hi! My name is Matthew Ryan Lashway.

  I am in my second year of Davis College, so that would make me a Sophomore. I am majoring in both Greek and Hebrew Pastorals. So I hope to graduate and go become a pastor to wherever God is calling me to be. I am into a lot of different types of Christian music. My favorite being heavy metal Christian music, which is what I normally play on my guitar, unless I am leading worship here at Davis or at the church I go to. Then I usually go for the praise music or hymns, which are also one of my favorite types of music. I love working at the library here at Davis, and one of my favorite authors would have to be Ogden Nash.
    I enjoy warm summer weather, long walks down Riverside Drive and the smell of the Susquehanna River.  I am usually pretty helpful in finding what you need. I even saw Dr. Dino Pedrone at work on one of his sermons on my shift.
 

    Hello, my name is Andrew Ryckman.

   I am a student from western Pennsylvania who attended Edinboro University as a computer science major for one year before attending Davis College. Now I am in my second year at Davis College as a Youth Ministries major which makes me a junior. I hope to graduate and become a youth pastor to wherever God is calling me to be while I continue in my studies for a master's degree.
    My interests involve almost anything that pertains to the subject of technology. To pass time I enjoy playing video games, researching the newest software for my pc, and spending quality time with my girlfriend who is also attending Davis College.  I also enjoy meeting new people and helping them find the information they need.
   I hope to see you stop by the library sometime in the near future!
