Devon Lengacher, a student at Eastern Mennonite Seminary (EMS), was appointed the first ADNet Student Associate in July 2008 for the 2008-09 school year.

Originally from Shipshewana, Indiana, Lengacher studied previously at Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary (AMBS) in Elkhart, Indiana before continuing his studies at EMS in Harrisonburg, Virginia, as a Master of Divinity student with a concentration in pastoral counseling.

Devon is serving this school year as a pastoral intern at The Table as well as Virginia Mennonite Retirement Community (VMRC).  The Table is an informal Mennonite congregation that meets on the Eastern Mennonite University (EMU) campus. He considers that his presence in the congregation as a quadriplegic who uses a wheelchair will provide a natural way to raise awareness of the needs of people with disabilities.

Devon is available for speaking assignments and some consultation in the Harrisonburg community.  Contact the ADNet office for more details or him directly.

An article by Devon is featured in the December 2008 issue of ADNet's Connections newsletter. 

Devon shared some reflections on his faith and call to ministry in a dialogue message with Paul Leichty at The Table on November 9, 2008.  Read the article based on that message.
