Michael Anthony Orona

Michael Anthony Orona – Anthony was born and raised in Houston, Texas. He hosted in Houston Summer 2005 and loved it so much he decided he wanted to continue his work with CSM in Chicago. Jokingly (though he’s usually only half joking) Anthony says the five greatest gifts God gave us are 1) His Son, 2)sports, 3)food, 4)music and 5)The Great State of TEXAS. He also enjoys watching superman aka Vince Young and iron-on t-shirts.

Christopher Stiles

Raised in the tropical isles of Hawaii, Chris is now enrolled at Colorado College in Colorado Springs. He attended CSM in Chicago with his college group in Spring 2005 and after falling in love with the city and its people, returned to serve with CSM with grand plans of ultimately ending up in Chi-town, at least for a few years. Chris loves teaching and working with kids of all ages and is looking forward to expanding his work in youth ministry. A self-described cross between a Boy Scout and hippie, minus the stereotypical grunge, he loves the outdoors, backpacking, rock climbing and traveling. As a budding linguist, one of Chris’s personal mantras is “I don’t want to limit my ability to meet new people and learn new things by my inability to communicate with them.”
