Reflections by Jane Stein

I was born and grew up in Omaha.  After my husband, Ed (who is a Creighton graduate as well) and I married (at St. John’s on campus) we moved to Arizona to work with the U.S. Public Health Service and lived on the Apache reservation and served the native-American population.  We moved to Phoenix 4.5 years later to raise our three children John, Maggie and Michael.  We are now blessed to have two beautiful grandchildren, Ernesto and Emelia.

I first served in the Dominican Republic with Institute for Latin American Concern (ILAC) as a 4^th-year Pharmacy student while attending Creighton University School of Pharmacy and Health Professions.  I then served as a professional volunteer there in 2018 and 2019 and now have the privilege of serving ILAC as Co-Director of Pharmacy since 2021.

I am humbled to have been invited to write for the online ministry.  My hope is that I can bring others in closer relationship with God through my reflections.  I have been blessed with spiritual mentors and would like to pay it forward.
