CENTER for STUDENT MISSIONS

Maria Bulk

Maria is from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. She’s a graduate from Columbia Institute of Technology with a diploma in Marketing. Her missions experience includes two weeks in Mexico building houses with YWAM and a few months in New York City where she met our NYC staff. Maria has also been a camp counselor. She loves new things, hiking and the beach. “I have a passion for Jesus and want to share His love. I pray that I will be able to build meaningful relationships with the CSM students, sponsor and staff, that I will learn a whole lot about myself and experience Jesus’ love working in the city. Also have some fun!”

Danielle Dalsey

Danielle is from Bossier City, Louisiana and is a photography major at Louisiana Tech (Ruston, LA). After a spring trip to CSM Chicago, she was inspired to apply for a summer position, with San Francisco as her first choice. Danielle enjoys reading, dancing, singing, laughing and isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty (look out for the mud fights!). “This summer, I hope to show people in the city Christ’s love through me and have a lasting impact on their lives.”

Didier Dinh

Didier (“D”) has lived in Boston for the last nine years after being in France for ten. He attends UMass as a paralegal major, but plans to change both. The past two summers he was a counselor at a summer day camp for middle schoolers at his church. He also was part of a Student Ministry Team during his senior year of HS and has led his fellowship during high school. D loves basketball, “I like to play it, read it, smell it, hear it, and feel it. I also like to talk (about basketball especially) and eat at buffets. I enjoy telling jokes but nobody ever thinks they’re funny for some reason. My goal this summer is to try my best to serve others. I pray that God can mold me into more of what I was meant to be.”

Rachel Farnum

Rachel is from Aurora, IL and just graduated from North Park University in Chicago with a degree in Youth Ministry. She loves watching and playing sports, especially ultimate frisbee (best sport ever!) and baseball. She is a Chicago Cubs fan, always has been and always will be. Rachel loves working with kids and spent the past two summers working as a counselor at Covenant Harbor Bible Camp. She has also worked with Young Life for the past two years while attending school in Chicago. She worked part-time this past semester with CSM in Chicago, so she is really excited to work full-time for CSM San Francisco. For Rachel this will be a new adventure in ministry, combining her passions for urban missions and youth work into one incredible experience. “I love that I will be able to be part of an organization that is trying to change the world we live in and usher in the kingdom of God.”

Tracee Lynn Henneke

Tracee grew up in Victoria, TX and graduated from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor with a bachelors degree in Religion and Psychology. She recently received her Masters in Christian Education from Southwestern Seminary in Forth Worth. She has been on a number of mission trips through church and school including camps and backyard Bible clubs. Her inner-city mission trip work has been in Chicago, Atlanta, Burlington, Vermont, and the Dallas area. Tracee has worked with students since graduating from high school, acting as an intern and student minister. She has recently been serving with the student ministry in a church outside of Dallas. She loves scrapbooking, sports, dancing, hanging out with people, going to the beach, and snowboarding. “I have a passion for students and a love for the city and its people. I hope to incorporate these two passions by serving through CSM.”

Zeb Payne

His mission experiences include the Apache Reservation in Arizona, the Navajo Reservation in New Mexico, and inner city trips to New Orleans, New York City, and Birmingham AL. He has also been a worship leader for college and youth groups. Zeb has a passion for leading worship and anything dealing with music, including singing, playing guitar, and playing piano. He enjoys getting to known new people and learning more about what it means to live on the streets. The reason he wanted to work with CSM is, “to truly find out what it means to have a servant’s heart and to pour out the same love for others that Christ has shown to me.” He hosted during the spring 2006 in San Francisco and decided to continue throughout the summer.

Will Rolfe

Will is from Oak Ridge, Louisiana and is a second year junior at Louisiana Tech University majoring in History with a minor in Spanish. He has done mission work in Costa Rica as well as New Orleans during the hurricane relief efforts. He also works with the Big Brother/Big Sister program mentoring kids weekly. Much of Will’s time is dedicated to the LaTech Wesley Foundation where he has the opportunity to serve in many ways. Will loves to travel and learn about other cultures. He hopes that working with CSM will be a great opportunity to grow in faith and fellowship with others.

Jenny Song

Jenny is from Ann Arbor, MI and graduated from the University of Michigan with a BA in Asian Studies. She has served on missions trips in Cuba and the Dominican Republic and on urban missions to Washington, DC and Los Angeles. Jenny worked in youth ministry for 5 years as a youth group leader and joined the Korean Presbyterian Church of Ann Arbor this past year as youth director. Her other interests include music, guitar, art, shopping, and fashion. “I feel so blessed to be part of CSM this summer because it brings together two things I feel strongly about – youth ministry and urban missions. I hope that I can be used to help the youth see and know God’s heart for social injustice.”
