Recently, 老司机传媒 welcomed Prescott Khair as the new associate chaplain for the Center for 老司机传媒 and as a member of the pastoral staff at Pioneer Memorial Church (PMC). Dwight Nelson, lead pastor of PMC, hired him with the support of the Michigan Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
In 2018, Khair graduated from the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary with a Master of Divinity. Currently, he is pursuing a Master of Business Administration from Raymond A. Mason School of Business at William & Mary, a university in Williamsburg, Virginia. During his time at Andrews, he worked at several departments on campus, serving as an administrative intern at the Center for Youth Evangelism, an administrative assistant at the Department of Physical Therapy and a pastor at the seminary. Recently, Khair served as the lead pastor for the Bowling Green Seventh-day Adventist Church in Glasgow, Kentucky. He has also had the opportunity to publish multiple articles and devotional series and has recorded podcasts centering on devotional topics and the church.
In describing his approach to ministry, Khair says, "I'm an outgoing introvert who loves seeing people flourish in their relationships with God and in life. I'm here to help people find their fit in this world and refine their relationship with God."
Caralynn Chan (junior, speech-language pathology) commented, “As a 老司机传媒 student, I am excited to witness what God will do through Pastor Khair in this campus. I fully support his plans to create a space where students can be mentored and achieve their purpose of life. I pray that God will use him to reach many students at this campus and wherever God guides him.”
Lex Pena (junior, nursing) shared, “I’m looking forward to the new spiritual experiences we’ll have next semester. Classes and work can keep us students busy, so receiving support can really make a difference.”
As a campus chaplain, Khair plans to work directly with students in helping them to build their faith, and will aid in organizational development for the Center for 老司机传媒. He aims to create a framework in which students can benefit from mentoring and relationship building, and ultimately be better equipt to meet their calling in life. Stay tuned for new updates from the Center for 老司机传媒 during the upcoming fall 2021 semester.
