Shine A Light: An Evening of Purpose, Generosity, and Impact
Pastor Klayton Ko of First Assembly of God Red Hill receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award
An Evening That Points to the Light
From the moment attendees stepped onto campus, they were met with a striking visual experience. A radiant light tunnel guided guests into the sanctuary, symbolizing Christ’s call to be the light of the world. This intentional beginning set the tone for the night—one centered on hope, transformation, and mission.
Inside, the sanctuary came alive with conversation and connection as donors, ministry partners, students, and friends gathered together. The silent auction offered meaningful opportunities to give, with each bid representing an investment in students' preparation in theology, ministry skills, and Christlike character.
The evening unfolded with beautiful classical music performances that brought both reverence and celebration into the space. These moments created room for reflection, grounding the event in worship and gratitude.
A Community United in Mission
Joy and anticipation filled the room during the raffle, as laughter and excitement echoed throughout the sanctuary. These shared moments highlighted the strength of the Pacific Rim Christian University community—one united not only by generosity, but by a shared calling.
A particularly meaningful highlight of the evening was the honoring of Pastor Klayton Ko of First Assembly of God, Red Hill. His faithful service and lasting impact in ministry reflect the heart of Pacific Rim Christian University’s mission. As he was recognized, the room stood in gratitude for a life that continues to inspire future leaders.
“Shine A Light” ultimately served as a powerful reminder of what God is doing through Pacific Rim Christian University. Each element of the evening pointed toward a greater purpose: raising leaders who will win souls, plant fruitful churches, and serve as exemplary ambassadors for Christ in both ministry and the marketplace.
Because of the generosity and faithfulness of those in attendance, that light continues to shine far beyond a single evening. It lives on in every student being trained, every ministry being launched, and every life being transformed.
