Diane
I was first approached by Gabe as this being an opportunity to serve in something that I have been trained for (teaching!) I have always been adventurous and this sounded like an exciting opportunity. After much prayer, I do feel that God is guiding me in this direction and ALL the worries that I have and loose ends will be handled by Him so that I can go there and serve as is needed. Tomanya!

Kristi
Kristi was asked what she wanted to do when she grew up, her answer was: "I wanna go to Africa!" That's exactly what she did (although I don't know that I had reached "grown up" status), She left for a month to Tanzania with a small group of people from all over the US when she was 20 years old to help people in a Massai village. Since then she has been to small villages in the US and spent 2 months in India teaching English. Since her first small trip to teach a VBS in Watts, CA She felt a calling to short-term missions! When she received the e-mail about Africa 2010, she said, "YES!" before I even knew when, where, or who was going. she looks forward to this experience and the sharing of this experience upon my return. Thanks for all your support!
