Introducing Our Team Members
Daniel Daniel is a magnet for kids, they are naturally drawn with curiosity to his curly red hair. And then after seeing how well he relates to them, they are drawn into the message of the gospel. A recent high school graduate, he relates easily to the kids. He grew up in a Christian home, but only recently came to truly understand in his heart who Jesus is, and is now growing a lot in effectively conveying the gospel. |
Chris Chris spearheaded the efforts of making Australia one of the internship destinations, and was later unanimously elected team leader. Having lived in Australia for two and a half years, he really has a heart for the youth here. Chris's background is in sports marketing, and when he's not busy preaching the gospel, he enjoys spending time with friends & family. He has a lot of experience speaking in schools that he gained on our mission trip to Poland last semester, and the rest of the team hopes to glean insight from his experience on the missions field. |
Diana Diana has a heart for discipleship, and is always keeping an open eye for opportunities God presents. She knows how to brew a good cup of coffee, but has talent also in sales and measuring for home remodels--she's very organized and is always well-dressed. She says she's shy in front of people, but every time she speaks in front of a classroom they are captivated hearing how God has changed her life for the better, and comes across confidently. She has a heart for prayer and acute sense of the spiritual needs of our teammates and when spiritual evil needs rebuking. |
Lia Lia has a natural knack for shopping and happening to have exactly what you need at the right moment, often times something she picked up thinking "this looks useful" without knowing in advance what it would be useful for. Lia has a true servants heart and overflows with Christ-like love. She misses her husband very much, but has confidence that God always does amazing things when they are seperated for a time. Perhaps God will use her loving relationship with her husband to help her minister to other women about godly marriages. She loves small childen and is looking forward to helping out with the children's ministry at the church. |
John John keeps things real for the team. He loves sports, and will be heading up any sports outreaches we do in Australia. He misses his wife and thirteen year old son, but without whom he probably wouldn't be here. They encouraged him to go and even filled out the visa application for him so he wouldn't have any trouble getting in the country with his Liberian passport. John has a lot of experience from his job coordinating major events, that we hope to draw from for our ministry efforts. He is our barbeque grill master, and doesn't complain about the work no matter how challenging (like cleaning these windows at the church). |
Jessica Jessica is usually cited as the "techie" of the group, she writes the blog and set up the email list for our team. She had been working as a software engineer for two and a half years before starting the School of Evangelism and has been blessed by God to continue there part-time through school. Her heart for ministry is missions--she was involved in the Missions Ministry at the Rock church for a year and a half before going on her first mission trip (to Poland with the School of Evangelism) but has now been to five different countries in the past seven months, and is excited about getting more involved in a leadership role in the ministry in the future. |
Tanya Tanya is full of spunk and personality, and has a definite gift of administration among many other spiritual gifts. She took a big step of faith coming all the way from Massachusetts to come to the School of Evangelism, having bought a one way ticket, not even knowning yet whether her application was accepted. She has a background in biology, and is fascinated with and enjoys all areas of ministry and hoping that this trip will show her what area of ministry to focus on when she gets back. She's already involved in the prayer ministry, but many other ministries interest her as well. |
