Because we wanted to minister: Why the Bedrosians really live adjacent to campus
"Come on up!" Scott Bedrosian called from his back porch as senior Charity Kim's wing walked up the hill behind the Bedrosian home. He looked up from the hotdogs and hamburgers he was grilling. The girls instantly felt at home as the Bedrosian family introduced themselves and offered refreshments. "I really appreciated how welcoming they were and how open they were to sharing their home," said sophomore Hannah Gaschler. "Being in college, sometimes the thing I miss most is that home environment."
Since the start of this semester, the Bedrosians have hosted four separate groups of around 20 students, from brother/sister wings to the entire RA team.
Out of 81 jobs Scott Bedrosian applied to in 2020, the job at PHC was the only one he did not initiate. He had received an email: "Hey Scott, this is Tom at Patrick Henry College. Bruce told me you might be interested in a position here. I'd love to chat. Give me a call." As Scott Bedrosian sat there staring at the email, three questions came to mind. "Who are you, Tom? Who is Patrick Henry College, and who in the world is Bruce?" A friend of a friend of a friend had sent his resumé to the school.
Just one year earlier, Scott Bedrosian had lost his job when the congressman he'd worked for lost his reelection campaign. With his extensive background in intelligence, various ministries, politics, and the Air Force, Scott Bedrosian had many options for a new job. He wanted to stay in northern Virginia because he felt God had him and his family there for a reason.
