CENTER for STUDENT MISSIONS

Maryann Frodge

Maryann is from a small city called Ludlow, Kentucky which is just outside of Cincinnati, Ohio. She is a graduate of Western Kentucky University with a degree in Communications and Religious Studies. Her missions experience includes trips to Atlanta, Georgia and with CSM to Chicago. She has lead in various ways at the Christian Student Fellowship at her university. Maryann very much enjoys people and seeing God work through his creation. She hopes her passion for the city and for diversity will be used this spring to touch people.

Laura Lynne Bender

Laura was born and raised in New Bern, North Carolina (on the coast). She’s a graduate from Appalachian State University with degrees in Spanish and Communications. Most of her missions experience has been over seas to Mexico and Honduras. She loves Hispanic culture, language and food, of course! She has served as a summer youth minister in Greensboro, NC. Her hobbies include line dancing, traveling, and enjoying the outdoors. Her desire this spring is to encourage the students and show how valuable their time and service can be in any town or any country.

Allison Rawls

Allison, a returning host, recently graduated from Appalachian State with degrees in anthropology and psychology. She is incredibly excited about being back in D.C. and is hoping to learn even more through specific ministry sites and her work with the visiting groups. Whether or not she ends up staying in D.C. longer term, she’s excited about all of the new experiences that this season will bring. Allison is a lover of the outdoors, coffee (former barista), the banjo (learning to play), biking, and all that D.C. has to offer.
