Iron Will and Inner Harmony
Dr. Lawanson is an untiring worker. The word unrelenting comes to mind! Yet somehow, he exudes patience, kindness, and generosity. His palpable sense of peace impacts everyone in his world. It is this iron will and inner harmony that make him such a giant of a soul. Dr. Sam Rockwell, Author, MASL Faculty
Great Wisdom
Dr. Remi Lawanson is a man of not only great knowledge but also great wisdom. He is an invaluable asset to our LPU community. I am grateful for all he contributes and am honored to work with someone of such high caliber. I honor him as he steps up into this new rank at LPU! Dr. Jeff Tolle, Dean of Ministry and Theology
Role Model
Dr. Lawanson has modeled for years the ideal scholar/pastor. His deep love of Scripture, theology, and the church are notable by everyone around him. But this is combined by an enduring love for the Spirit and the church. He has shown us how to think well and be a Pentecostal. Dr. A.J. Swoboda, Author, MASL Faculty
Quiet Genius
Dr Remi is a quiet genius, carefully guiding those whom he oversees to be the best that they can be without ever calling attention to himself. Such leaders are rare indeed.
Dr. Clayton Robinson, MASL Faculty
Extraordinary
Dr. Remi Lawanson is an extraordinary man who has given his life to service in the Kingdom of God by serving students, particularly in the MASL program, an innovative and highly successful graduate degree for strategic leadership. For many years it has been my pleasure to serve either as Dr. Lawanson's boss or as his subordinate. I am truly blessed to have served in both of these roles, and enjoyed the opportunity to observe Remi as he inspires, leads, and encourages men and women to achieve their big dream of a graduate degree, while at the same time empowering people to make a difference in this world as strategic leaders. I am a better person because of my friendship and professional collaboration with Remi Lawanson. Dr. Jim J. Adams, LPU's 10th President, MASL Faculty
Foundational
Dr. Remi has been part of the foundation for our MASL program and an acknowledged scholar in his field. His passion for Jesus, the church, and students was contagious. We will find it difficult to fill his place as he did all things well. Bless you on your retirement journey. Dr. Dan Stewart, Professor Emeritus and LPU's 8th President
Prophetic Insight
Dr. Remi is a grace-filled encourager. During my time in MASL, he poured out strength and kindness consistently, insightfully, with the weight of God’s voice in his words. The coupling of his wisdom and care are unmatched. It has been my experience that Dr. Remi views people and situations with a prophetic insight that cultivates the direction the Lord is leading. His guidance was instrumental in my MASL and ministry journeys and I am deeply grateful for his voice. Thank you, Dr. Remi, for seeing the best in everyone and calling the gifts of God in so many of us, out into the light. Jenna Livingston, MASL Alumna, Credentials Team Leader, Leader Health and Development
Excellence and Care
I had the privilege of being in the MASL under Dr. Remi’s leadership. Dr. Remi stewarded his role as chair of the MASL with excellence and humility. In addition to Remi’s concern that his students would excel, he also cared for my family. He often asked me about the well-being of my family, stating that he prayed for us. Not only did Remi have a deep understanding of leadership, but he also lived and led with the heart of a servant. His commitment to Jesus and his care for those he served, was evident to those who had the privilege of knowing him. Congratulations, Dr. Remi Lawanson. Dr. Dan Mundt, Director of Leader Health and Development
