CENTER for STUDENT MISSIONS

Angela Devine

Angela has spent 7 summers working at a day camp in her hometown of Springfield, Illinois and has assisted with the junior high youth group at her church. Her mission experiences include hosting VBS on a Native American reservation, a prayer journey through Toronto, and helping with rural medical outreach clinics in Ghana, West Africa. Much of her college free time (and some of the time she should have been studying) was invested in her campus ministry. She graduated in May with a degree in Biology and a minor in Political Science and hopes to start on a Masters in Public Health with a focus on infectious diseases and international health this fall. “I am excited about working with CSM because it meshes so many of her passions: ministry, youth, ethnic food and helping people.”

Ben Northcutt

Ben grew up in Draffenville, KY, and is a 2006 graduate of Murray State University with a degree in International Affairs. Ben spent five months in Mexico City in 2006 working as a campus minister. He has also led worship and taught bible study for youth for the past six years. Ben‘s two favorite pastimes are playing music/leading worship and camping. In his free time he also enjoys watching movies, acting, and conversations. “Over the past year, God has given me a passion for those people who either haven’t heard the name of Jesus, or who have never encountered the incredible peace and security that He brings. John 12:32 says ‘If I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto me.‘ That’s my desire, simply to ‘lift up‘ Jesus.”

Nicole Bresnahan

Nicole spent a week with CSM San Francisco in January 2005. The following May she went to Jamaica and Cuba on a 5 week mission trip. She worked with orphanages and primary schools in Jamaica and then served at a church in Cuba. Nicole was a high school youth leader for 3 years, helped establish a curriculum for small groups, and has planned both winter and summer camps for her youth group. Nicole loves photography, pottery and anything creative she can pour herself into. She enjoys coffee with friends and having good conversations. Since she served as a student with CSM, Nicole has seen how God has really broadened her heart for the city and for what CSM does. She desires to serve and help other students participate in the same life-changing experience.
