the United States, but claims Colorado as where she's from and Washington

heels. She attends Pierce College in Steilacoom, WA and hopes to eventually
double major in politics and philosophy and then go to law school. |

games with her friends at school. |
Chris Ball - Chris also was born and raised
in Kenova, WV (Chris and Cassidy are from the same church). He enjoys
gymnastics and movies. He is a sophomore at Marshall University and is
thinking about a major in counseling. With several mission experiences
in small towns, he is glad to serve God in the city this summer in Nashville. |
Katie Cox - Katie will be a sophomore at
Davidson College, near Charlotte, NC. She's majoring in Sustainable
Development. Her goal is to live in Central America after graduating so
she can live and work with the people living there. Katie grew up in
LaGrange, GA and went on trips with her own youth group to CSM's Chicago
and DC sites. She's looking forward to exposing others to the city where
she had such wonderful experiences and learned so many lessons. |
