Jerrod Amstutz

The last we talked you were student of the month at BHS in May. What's happened in your life since then?
Well, I graduated! Then during my summer break I went to France with Ebenezer Mennonite Church for two great weeks. I absolutely would love to go back. I also worked my second year at Camp Roberts in Shawnee, which is a free Bible camp for inner city Lima kids. I then started to attend Ohio Northern University.

Do you live on campus?
