Meet the Staff!

From left to right:
Me :)
Andrea Urban - On staff with Here's Life Inner City - Milwaukee. She is our Associate Project Director, which means that she's our head honcho for the women and a stinkin' awesome social activities coordinator.
Erick Lettner - Campus director with Campus Crusade for Christ for the Milwaukee Metro area. He is our Project Director, which means that he's leading our men and is heading up our weekly meeting team.
Jeff Hoffman
- Director of Here's Life Inner City - Milwaukee. This man has an extraordinary heart for Milwaukee. He is around for the first 2 weeks of project and is helping with finances and a lot of behind the scenes work that he probably doesn't get enough credit for.
Kirk Johnson - On staff with Greater Iowa. I feel like Kirk is a surfer at heart because of all the "dudes" he throws into conversation. He is also helping lead the men and will be coordinating outreaches.
Kara Atkinson - On staff with Here's Life Inner City - Milwaukee. Kara has one of the hardest jobs, I think. She is coordinating all of our meals (wow!) and taking care of finances and coordinating with our ministry partners. This girl is not getting enough credit for her hard work.

This week has been great preparing for our students to come. We have gotten quite a bit done and have had some great times getting to know one another as a staff team.

The students arrive TODAY and we are just so excited to have them, although I think we're all kind of feeling a bit of "I wish we had more time to prepare!" But things are coming along for the most part. I've had so many details running through my head, but the most important thing that I've been reminded of is that God needs to be my number one priority. Without keeping that perspective, all these details are pretty worthless.

Please be praying for the students' travels today and that all goes according to God's plan!

I'm praying for you, baby gurl!
Can't wait to see you in Milwaukee.

You know how I know that this is going to be a great summer?
Because a goose chased me through Tenney Park the other day. He pursued me, but he could not catch me. In the end, he and I stood on opposite sides of the street, staring at each other. He hissed one final hiss, knowing that I had eluded him in triumph. And I burst out laughing, thinking, "What a great way to start this fabulous summer."

You're loved! Dont forget it!

What a wonderful staff - I think that Bridget Anderson wasn't given enough credit :)

I agree with anonymous...Bridget Anderson is just as amazing as the rest of the staff. You are so right about Kirk Johnson. He was on my project last summer and he was great...dude.

Bridget. You're the best. I Love your new haircuuuut! What a babe. What a flippin' babe. Milwaukee is quite lucky! Keeping up on you and missing you -- you better be at the family reunion! I miss you.
