Currently featuring … Reverend Randy Ashford
Reverend Randy Ashford, now living in Hanover, Pennsylvania was once a child in the Washington D.C. Parent Child Center home-based and center-based programs. Reverend Ashford was enrolled on August 14, 1975 at 21⁄2 years of age. He was a very quiet, shy and somewhat withdrawn child. While he attended Harrison Elementary School, the PCC staff followed him from K through 3rd grade, as a part of PCC’s DISTAR Program (a collaboration with D.C. Public Schools.) He did well in his elementary school experience, becoming captain of the Safety Patrol. He also participated in the Young Marine Program in D.C. Randy attended Shaw Junior High School and the Duke Ellington School for the Arts, where he excelled in the theatrical arts. He was recruited and became the first three-year theatre arts student to graduate. Although Randy went on to Hartford Community College and Morgan State College, along the way he decided to work full-time as a substitute teacher, remodeler, and electrician and currently in the Quality Assurance Department with Blue Cross Blue Shield. His wife Teresa and their three children (Randy, 10, Faith, 7, and Ferrious, 4) are enjoying suburban family life in Pennsylvania. He was called into the Ministry about three years ago, and is now in the process of starting a theatre group in his local community. Behind the scene “sound work, cameras, lighting, and technical directing” are Reverend Ashford’s hobbies. His service to the World Assemblies of Restoration is his passion. His wife and children are his “pride and joy.”
