WAYNESBURG – Waynesburg University’s Christ and Culture Lecture Series featuring Andrew Ginsberg will be presented as a three-part event Monday and Tuesday.

Ginsberg will present lectures at 7 p.m. Monday and Tuesday and will speak during the University’s Chapel service at 11 a.m. Tuesday. All events will be held in Roberts Chapel.

During his Monday lecture, Ginsberg, who has more than 20 years of experience in health care technology, will present “Does Christ have a place in Healthcare Technology?” The title of his Tuesday evening lecture is “A Long Walk to Faith,” and during the 11 a.m. event Tuesday, Ginsberg will present his testimony, “Jesus, my Messiah.”

Admission is free, and the public is invited.

Ginsberg serves as vice president and director of advancement at InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA, a nationwide college ministry that establishes and advances witnessing communities of students and faculty.

He will share his experiences as a Jewish follower of Christ and will address many of the issues he faced as a Christian in the healthcare industry. These issues range from evolution to the ethics of genetic testing and include other areas of conflict and conversation between faith and science.

His previous roles have been in marketing, strategy and general management in health care, including vice president of marketing for LabCorp and a number of leadership and strategy roles for SmithKline Beecham (now GlaxoSmithKline). He has lived and worked in the United States and Europe and has led teams on six continents.

Ginsberg graduated from Duke University with a bachelor of arts degree in political science and a genetics certificate. He also studied at Emmanuel College at Cambridge.

He became a Christian after college as a result of years of prayer from a number of friends who were involved in InterVarsity while at Duke University. One of those friends is the Rev. Carolyn Poteet, Waynesburg University’s director of faith and mission.

“One of my early attempts to share my faith with Ginsberg was the worst evangelism experience of my life, but God had bigger plans,” Poteet said. “After a dramatic event in his life, Andrew came to believe that Jesus was the Messiah.”

In addition to the chapel sermon and Christ and Culture Lecture, Ginsberg will speak to Waynesburg University genetics and nursing classes and will meet with campus ministry leaders.
