 Hometown: Chicago

 After the Race: Visiting Chicago…

 Support: Thanks to a Christmas miracle… Colleen went from needing several thousand dollars to stay on the race to being completely support raised in only a few weeks.    Thank you everyone!

 Overview of a Racer:

            Colleen, in a word, is awesome.   Colleen has that quality where people feel welcomed and connected to her instantly.   She is really warm and just genuinely loves people.  She loves little fat babies and Grandmothers and literally everyone in between.  Colleen sees beauty in everyone.  On our team she has this radar for when someone is out of sorts and she is great at loving us through whatever it is.  

            To me, Colleen is a model of someone who wants to do things the right way.  A lot of times Colleen will describe herself as a worrier but what I see in that is this heart that just wants to walk out her faith as correctly as possible.   She loves God in all his many roles and she is really good at discerning which role He´s filling when.  She loves having God as a Dad and as a friend and relies on him in all things.   

            Colleen is gifted with evangelism and with mercy.  Now before you get all squirmy…  it is more than just the way we are all called to share our faith, and it is definitely not the kind of evangelism that we give a bad reputation… it is this beautiful pure gift that God has installed in Colleen.  He will put someone on her mind and she cannot stop thinking about them until she has shared the gospel with them.   She’s never pushy, just obedient to what God tells her to do.    The time we really got to see this gift on fire was in China.   It’s like the Chinese people who were starving for the gospel could see this presence on Colleen and would seek her out.   One time when we were at an English corner a girl came out of the crowd hitting Colleen on the arm saying “tell me what you know about Jesus!”   So in her sweet undemanding way she did and this girl became a Christian.  And that´s not even a once in eleven months kind of story!
