World Changers Developed

Amy (Powlen) Bennett graduated with honors in 1998 from Indiana University with a B.S. in Accounting. She was a member of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority and a student leader in Greek IV at IU. Upon graduation she worked as a CPA with KPMG (a Big 4 public accounting firm). In 2003 she received her law degree from UCLA and worked in the LA office of a large NY based firm. She is licensed to practice law in the Central District of California, in the 9th Circuit of the US Court of Appeals and before the Supreme Court of California.

Two years ago, Amy became the Director of Finance for the Fulfillment Fund, a nonprofit college access organization that helps promising yet educationally underserved and economically disadvantaged students graduate from high school and complete college. The students she works with come from the lowest performing schools in Los Angeles where the graduation rate is less than 45% district wide. But 70% of the students in her program graduate from high school and out of those, 90% go on to college. Amy says this:
“It is great to be a part of an organization that is trying to make a positive difference in the lives of students and by extension, the community. I love being able to use both my financial and my legal background to make the world a better place.”

Beyond work, Amy is a 6 time participant in the Breast Cancer 60 mile walk, teaches a kindergarten Sunday school class at church, volunteers weekly with elementary girls in the church Awana program, and leads a weekly church small group in her home with her husband.

Andy Dalton, Amy's former staff worker and current National Director of Greek InterVarsity says, "As her staff worker, I have very fond memories of how God met Amy at IU and worked through her to share His message with her sorority sisters. But I can honestly say that I am just as excited now to hear how God is using Amy as a World Changer. In my eyes, she is a joyous representation of the 7000 graduates that God has reached through the ministry of Greek InterVarsity over the past 15 years."

Join us in praying for the more than 2000 Greek students across the country presently involved in this ministry, that they too would become World Changers wherever God calls them.
