Author:

Pam Gibbs is a native Texan who became a Christian at youth camp at age 13. She has a heart for students and began working in student ministry at age 19. She graduated from Wayland Baptist University (where she was a disc jockey and even took a class in roller skating) before getting her Masters of Divinity at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. After moving to Nashville, she went on a blind date with a high school teacher and coach named Jim, whom she married in 2002. Jim and Pam adopted a baby girl, Kaitlyn, from Guatemala in 2006. Pam loves to be on the go and enjoys traveling. She's not afraid to be adventurous--she has the scars from sports injuries and their resulting surgeries on her knees to prove it. Her dream is to scuba dive off the Great Barrier Reef in Australia before she dies, although she'll need to learn how to scuba dive first.
