Jodi Lamer- Event Assistant

Jodi joined the District Youth team in June 2007 as an assistant. Her passion has been to see young people catch a glimpse of what God can and will do with their future.

She is a graduate of Littlestown High School where she developed a love for the game of field hockey. It is also the place where she met Jason. In 1995 Jodi accepted a scholarship to Kent State University where she played Division I Field Hockey for the Lady Flashes. She was moving towards her dream of playing for the U.S. Olympic Field Hockey team. But that same year, God had developed a call in her life to serve in full time ministry. She laid down her dream to pick up God’s call and has not looked back since. Her background is one filled with passion for the Lord and His work, coupled with the knowledge of being on a team. Together, they cause Jodi to be a tremendous asset to the District Youth Ministries.

Jason & Jodi live in Dillsburg, PA and are the parents of Jaron, Jalyn, and Jordyn.
