More About Banah

February 23, 2009 | by archiveworldraceblogs

This
is another blog that I’m posting from one of my teammates… we made a team pack that it is okay to steal  blogs since internet is so sketch. 
 
Now that I have been with my new Team Banah for a couple of weeks,


let me tell you more about each of them:

(this is us on Lake Victoria in Mwanza, Tanzania)
 
 

Sharon Price studied
anthropology and is fascinated by world cultures.  She has been to
Kenya before on mission trips, and she loves to teach and play with
children.   She has been learning a lot about God’s faithfulness this
year.

Jeff Mitchell works as a physiotherapist.  He seems very stoic, but he’s actually hilarious!  For example,
he often introduces himself, straight-faced, by another name.

 
 
Angi Francesco is
a history buff. She has many jobs, working for the government, for a
museum, as a public speaker, and as a seeing-eye-dog trainer.  She
knows a lot about a lot, so conversations with her can be very
enlightening.  
 
 
 
Mark Schandel spent
six months in England after graduating a year ago, and now he’s caught
the international travel bug.  He is interested in management,
architecture, and real estate.  He’s a cross-country marathon running
champion with lots of energy.   But he is easy to
talk to and has very insightful things to say.

 
 

This is Vicki. She’s Amazing and so full of love. More than
anything I know that she’s going to show me and teach me the Love of
the Lord.  She has been all around the world… not even including this
year. For the last five years she has lived and worked in Korea as a
French teacher. She’s incredible and I’m so excited to spend these next
7 months with her.

Laura Meyers is
our team leader. She graduated from Asbury College last May with a
degree in Social Work.  She is gentle and wise – seeming much older and
more mature than her years.  She is very approachable, easy to talk to.
 She is just as comfortable chasing kids around as she is teaching
women about their identity in Christ.
 
 
 

 

 
 

Please be praying for my team. We are in Tanzania now and we’ll be
here for the next few weeks. We are working with a local church and the
Spirit of the Lord is here. Please be praying for us as we work
together as a new team and as a new community.
