Now that I have been with my new Team Banah for a couple of weeks,
let me tell you more about each of them:
let me tell you more about each of them:
(this is us on Lake Victoria in Mwanza, Tanzania)
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. She also gives amazing massages! We call 
Cara Wallace “Ray” – short for her other nickname / alternate personality Lady Ca-Ray-Ray. It is so fun for me to finally be able to spend quality time with her, because she laughs all the time! She studied education and worked at a mega-church in San Diego before coming on the World Race.

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, and he teases me about eating all the ice cream (which we never really get in Africa). He was on my previous Team Aletheia, and he has helped to redeem men in general for me.
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. She likes to write and hide out behind the camera lens – you can thank her for many of the photos you see here. Angi was on my previous Team Aletheia too, and it has been exciting to watch and participate in her transformation. Angi is in urgent need of financial support. To donate, click here. 
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, real estate, and music. He’s a cross-country marathon running champion with lots of energy. He is a big tease! But he is easy to talk to and has very insightful things to say.
To get to know more about me, read my bio and my blogs (see tabs on the left side of this page). Again, I am thrilled about how God has put us together.
He is teaching us a lot about LOVE, and He is doing amazing things in and through our lives!
