Rob hopes to help the youth navigate thru the lies the world tells them and to know the Truth the bible has for them. Also to show them how to be a christian thats on fire for the Lord. 

Heather Menley

Leader
Heather was born in Goldsboro, NC on October 3, 1979. She moved to Florida and back to NC multiple times. I also lived in Warwick, Bermuda for one year. Heather joined the Pursuit leadership team in September of 2023. My favorite sports teams to watch are Florida State Seminoles, NC Tarheels, Miami Dolphins, Carolina Hurricanes and reading the Bible. I renewed my relationship with Jesus Christ in July 2023. The cartoon character I most identify with is Simba. You can't run from your problems or your past. Instead you have to go head to head and give it to God.
