What you did after High School: I enjoyed four years at Taylor University and after graduation moved to Upper Darby, PA for a job at Arab World Ministries. For three years I was a Campus Mobilizer for AWM, traveling during the school year to universities to give seminars and recruit students. During the summers I took volunteer groups to the Middle East to study Arabic and/or teach English to refugees through the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. In 2003 I moved to Sumatra, Indonesia for two years of mission work… 1 ½ years in south Sumatra studying language and culture and teaching English. Then after the tsunami, I moved up to north Sumatra (Aceh) for a few months and coordinated relief teams. I’ve been back in the States a year now and live in west Philadelphia.
