OUR TEAM
Dee Casper
Director
Dee Casper is Director of the CORE Evangelism Training Program. Dee lived 30 minutes from 3ABN World Headquarters for 21 years and had never heard of a Seventh-Day Adventist, but by the grace of God, he found the message through 3ABN TV beginning in the fall of 2006. He was baptized in 2010 at the ARISE Cornerstone program, and has been involved in ministry ever since. He has served as a Bible worker, been a Bible teacher in an academy setting, and has taught in different schools of evangelism. He loves investing in young people, and opening their eyes to the beauty of the Everlasting Gospel, and the value that God places on each of them individually.

Issayah Ray
Outreach Coordinator
From a young age Issayah knew he wanted to work for the Lord. He founded various ministries as a teenager and was always looking for new ways to spread the gospel. When he was 19, God opened the doors for him to attend CORE, and it was a life-changing decision. Upon graduation, he went on to co-lead a youth summer canvassing program and do Bible work in Tennessee. He is thrilled to now be an outreach coordinator for the school that did so much for him.
Sarah Casper
Administrative Assistant
Sarah has a deep passion for discipleship and serving God’s people. She graduated from Washington State University with a degree in clinical nutrition and exercise physiology, but in recent years she has felt a strong call to full time ministry. She has been active in local church ministry investing in youth and young adults and helping them to see God as He truly is, and helping them to find deeper healing in their walk with Him. Her work as a mental health coach, studying Hebrew, and speaking on the Gospel and healing journeys are some ministry passions that she enjoys the most.
