Hanna McCuin

Hanna is a senior at Free Will Baptist Bible College in Nashville, TN. She is pursuing a double major of Psychology and Theology with exciting plans to graduate in the spring of 2012. Hanna is an Arkansas native, but has called several different locations “home” since the age of 13, due to her father’s career. She has a heart to spread the compassion of Christ to college age groups, as well as showing the light of Christ through the darkness that mental health may bring, particularly in the homeless youth population. While mission trips to Spain, Japan and Utah showed her a peculiar sense in which Christ is working among the nations through several ministries, she has learned the most about ministering by founding a student ministry on her campus called Mosaic. Mosaic meets every other Monday to listen to devotions and worship lead by peers. Mosaic has taken several trips to downtown Nashville to distribute lunches to the homeless population that fills Nashville streets, as well as sponsoring events to benefit needy children in Mississippi. Mosaic has been quite the learning experience and Hanna has thoroughly enjoyed watching the love of Jesus spread through the ministry He laid upon her heart. She loves painting, reggae music, thrift stores and all things vintage! “I am excited to work with CSM this summer to catch a glimpse of God working in the lives of youth, staff and the people of Nashville.”

Mark enjoys being outdoors and doing everything including skiing, hiking, bouldering and what every college kid loves, frisbee. “I’m stoked to be working with CSM this summer and hope to build strong relationships centered in Christ and further my passion for working with students. I’m also excited to be in Nashville if not simply because it’s a brand new place with lots of exciting opportunities.”
