The Whites have four children:  Jamie Jo (28), Courtney (25), Brady (24), and Cooper (21) and 2 grandchildren. She has directed Kanakuk Kamps for thirty years. She is a very talented teacher and is a certified Precept Bible study leader. She is also a certified Walk Thru the Bible Instructor and has led Kanakuk staff Bible studies for years. She teaches basic Bible study skills for the Kanakuk Institute.

 

“I believe the Kanakuk Institute has tapped many tremendous resources by inviting teachers to teach from both a local & national level.  This way the Institute can get the "best" each field has to offer to instruct the students. The students get to view many different styles of teaching as well as learn what might work for them as they prepare to teach others. The curriculum is full & the standards are extremely high for what is required of the students in their reading, research, teaching, and ministry training & mentoring. There is more packed into this one-year program than anyone could hope for.  It's a wonderful opportunity to get to teach in an environment where everyone is highly motivated to learn & is eager for more when the class is over. I highly recommend it!”
