Ryan DeWalt

Ryan grew up in Meadville, Pennsylvania. He recently graduated from Anderson University in Anderson, IN with a degree in Christian Ministries and a Spanish minor. His first missions experience was in 10th grade on a CSM trip in Washington, DC during “the pivotal point of his Christian Faith.” It was at this time when Ryan’s Youth Pastor put a lot of time and effort into him. “I don’t know what my pastor saw in a shy kid like me… it was the grace of God.” Since then, he has served in Mexico, Kentucky, Virginia, and was a city host for CSM Chicago. At this time in his life all Ryan is 100% sure of his future is that he wants to love God and love people. “I love youth because of the huge realizations coming into their lives. I love serving with diverse people because it reminds me of the Body of Christ—many different parts, but one body.”

Zeb’s mission experiences have included Arizona, New Mexico, New Orleans, and New York City. Also, he has led worship for college and youth groups for the past four years.
