ANI BAGDASARYAN
Ani has been in the Ministry Staff at PHD Ministries since 2015 and she is currently part of the team that oversees the Television Ministry. She didn't grow up in church and even though she had gone to several churches throughout her adult life, she had never had a personal encounter with Jesus until arriving at PHD. "I thank God for Pastor David Girley and the gift he has to break down the Word of God in a way that is so clear and simple yet so powerful". The Word itself began to cleanse her from the inside out and for the first time, she knew that PHD was the ministry she was called to. After partnering with PHD, she gave her life to Jesus and received His work of salvation and deliverance. She can now say that she is walking as a new woman of God in Christ Jesus!

ASHLEY ROBERTSON
Ashley came to the Ministry during the Spring of 2004 as a college student while attending Eugene Bible College from 2003-2006. Shortly after joining the ministry she married and started a family of three active boys. Being an Oregon native from a small rural town, she is amazed at the many places God has taken her throughout the years. In the ministry, opportunities arose that involved traveling across states as well as many different countries enriching her understanding of God’s ability to do be limitless. Her favorite bible story is 1 Samuel 1-20 which records the account of Hanna pouring out her heart to God. Here, the priest who was known to be the closest to God judged her hearts cry incorrectly claiming she was drunk. “When she admits she had not been drinking but had reached a point that she would do anything to reach a God she had never seen to change her situation and receives what she asked for!- that is the most motivating story. It is also why Psalm 37:4 is my life motto, which says that if we delight ourselves in the Lord He will give us our heart's desire. He cares so much that he would give us what we want not just what we need.”

I grew up in Los Angeles and church has always been a part of my life since I was a kid. I've never strayed away from it. However, I took the things of God and my faith more seriously when I had my first encounter with PHD Ministries in 2007 during a friday youth night. The word was so powerful and to see young people my age having fun and enjoying the word was so captivating. I had a void that could not be filled and I longed for more. That friday night was so rich in the word that I wanted to learn more. My club nights were over. I joined the choir and the praise dance team and I am now a part of the ministry team. I am proud to say that the ministry puts God first in all things and God's hand and anointing is so powerful.
