Hello! At this very second in time, we are 405 hours, 30 minutes, and 36 seconds away from launch! Wow, how awesome is that? My squad of 24 will be heading out to Colombia. There my team will break off and head to San Pedro, about nine hours away from Bogotá with a population of ~18,000. Along with Team Lit, my team of six will be serving at the Ministerio Nueva Vida hosted by Pastor William Diaz Buritica. We will be ministering to inmates, children, and church attendees. I am absolutely stoked/pumped!
Without further adieu, I want to introduce to you my troop, the people I will be living and serving alongside. These gals are a power-packed bunch, let me tell you. I hope these questions give you an insight into how loving and spectacular they are.
And the questions are…
1) Favorite bagel type?
2) Favorite all time worship song and book of the Bible?
3) What type of ministry are you most looking forward to?
4) What brings you the most joy?
5) What do you think Jesus loves most about you?

1) Favorite bagel type?
Everything crispy with lots of cream cheese!
2) Favorite all time worship song and book of the Bible?
Wonder (spontaneous) by Amanda Cook/Bethel
Romans
3) What type of ministry are you most looking forward to?
Evangelism in the sense of sharing the gospel to ears that haven’t heard it’s good news! This is also the type of ministry that scares me the most, but it’s one I am looking forward to growing in.
4) What brings you the most joy?
Having deep God convos with people. I love going deeper with God and I love going deeper with people so when those two things intersect I’m filled with so much joy.
5) What do you think Jesus loves most about you?
I think He loves my curiosity that results in a passion for discovering new things and hidden truths about Him.
Jenny Feicht
1) Favorite bagel type?
everything or chocolate chip.
2) Favorite all time worship song and book of the Bible?
Reckless Love and Hosea : I’m a sucker for the way in which God fights for me and shows me He loves me.
3) What type of ministry are you most looking forward to?
Children’s ministry and any time I get to help feed people. 🙂
4) What brings you the most joy?
Bringing people together to share a meal (especially when I get to cook). I also really enjoy baking something special for people on their birthday!
5) What do you think Jesus loves most about you?
Everything! He loves me the most and so deeply; it would be too hard to choose one thing. He loves all of me.
Megan Gabrielse
1) Favorite bagel type?
EVERYTHING bagel all the way!!
2) Favorite all time worship song and book of the Bible?
‘So Will I’ by Hillsong, ‘Known’ by Tauren Wells or ‘You Say’ by Lauren Daigle. Book of the Bible would be Romans!
3) What type of ministry are you most looking forward to?
Honestly, probably the prison ministry. God has really put prison and jail ministry on my heart.
4) What brings you the most joy?
Being around people who I love brings me a lot of joy! Also, spending time with my puppy gives me so much joy. She loves me no matter what and is always so excited to see me…maybe more than she should be! 🙂
5) What do you think Jesus loves most about you?
This is a really tough question! I think Jesus loves a lot about me, because he created me…but I think he loves my love for other people groups and cultures. God has such a love for all people and he has given me a heart for his people too.

Asiago, most definitely.
2) Favorite all time worship song and book of the Bible?
Wow, I forgot I had to answer. These are hard.
‘What Do I Know of Holy’- Addison Road (I’m going to cheat; ‘Oh, How You Love Us’ and my new fav ‘Open Space’ by Housefires both rock too) Have you ever heard “We Dance” or “It is Well” by Bethel? Okay, okay, I’m done now! 😉
Old testament: Isaiah
New testament: Ephesians
3) What type of ministry are you most looking forward to?
Children’s ministry and human trafficking ministry, although there isn’t one I am not excited about doing!
4) What brings you the most joy?
Jesus, people, puppy bellies, mountains, sunsets, stars, sea turtles, adventures, ice cream cones, succulents, laughter, unity, water, hiking, and playing any sport.
5) What do you think Jesus loves most about you?
Of course, He loves every inch of me!
Jesus speaks directly to me in Song of Solomon 4:1, “How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how beautiful!”
…But if I had to answer I would say, my willing and go-getter sprit, my joy and excitement, and my eyes.

4) What brings you the most joy?
When people are fought for, known, valued, listened to, and loved well. And any animal.
5) What do you think Jesus loves most about you?
I think what He loves the most about me is, I care deeply for others. I care about consistency in others lives. And for others to be be known, valued, loved, and listened to.
Alright folks, there you have it! Have a wonderful day!
