| Nashville Summer Staff Team 2004 |
The whole team, plus co-city director Tawnya Fugitt (bottom left)
and co-city director Jes Williams (bottom right).
|
Amanda Traylor - Amanda is from Noblesville, Indiana (near Indianapolis)
but attends school in Birmingham, Alabama at Samford University. She is
a senior, majoring in Family Studies which she hopes will prepare her
for a career in social work, counseling, or something similar. She loves
working with youth and while working at a camp last summer, felt God calling
her to continue to minister to that age group. The summer after graduating
from high school, Amanda went on a mission trip to CSM Toronto and grew
in her love for the inner city. So, the combination this summer of urban
and youth ministries is very exciting for her. She likes the outdoors,
reading, running, photography and art. She's looking forward to seeing
how God works in the city of Nashville this summer and is praying that
he will allow her to stay focused on what He is doing through others as
he serves.

Lindsay Thompson - Lindsay is a public relations major
and music business minor at Anderson University in Indiana. As a senior
next fall, she will also be the editor of her college newspaper. Lindsay
grew up in Columbus, Ohio, so one of her goals while in Nashville is to
gain a southern accent! She enjoys coffee houses, deep conversation, music,
singing/songwriting, journaling, being creative, and serving God, in whatever
shape that takes. She loves to travel within the U.S. and internationally;
and has been to Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago, England, Costa Rica, Mexico,
Haiti and the Caribbean. This summer, Lindsay hopes to learn from the
people in the city and to more fully understand the compassionate life
that God calls us to.

Kristin Schlessman - Kristin is from Calhoun, Louisiana
and is a junior English major at Louisiana Tech University in Ruston,
LA. She works with a youth group (Grace United Methodist Church) in Ruston

intramurals softball (playing on the Wesley Foundation Team). Her love
for music draws her to lots of concerts and her favorite snack is pickles
and peanut butter (yes, together!).

guitar (still learning), singing, drama, art, the outdoors (fishing, camping,
etc.) Nancy loves her family (mom Sophia and little sisters Allyson and
Robin and dog named Tootsie). She listens to all types of music and watches
movies (too much good stuff out there to have a favorite- but she loves
anything with Ethan Embry, Johnny Depp, Molly Ringwald, or Julia Stiles).
