the University of Delaware with a bachelors degree in Family and Community
Services and a concentration in Urban Youth and Substance Abuse. She also

She started hosting with CSM the spring of 2006 in Philly and

painting, drawing, photography, singing, and playing guitar. "I am most excited
about teaching others about CSM because of the change that I have seen in my
own life because of working with them in Philly and D.C. God grows people
through this program, and I can't wait to see it!"

will be a senior at Penn State, University Park. He is looking
at a major in Recreation, Park and Tourism Management with minors

Robbin Kelly
Robbin is from Denver, CO and is attending
Metro State College majoring in Behavioral Science with a minor
in Communications. She previously attended a summer CSM mission trip to
Chicago, which helped her feel a calling into missions, specifically
the inner city. Robbin loves to watch movies, knit, and listen to music.
She attended school in New York last year and fell in love with NYC.
She loves working with students because they have so much to give
and she can learn from them. “My prayer is that every student who
comes to the city this summer can find and experience God in a
whole new way! God calls us all to serve, which is another way that
He demonstrates His amazing love to us because the rewards from
service are incredible!”

Dre Marinez
Dre joins CSM New York from Huntington Beach,
California where she spent time as a preschool teacher, a children’s
ministry coordinator at her church, and most recently a nanny for an
adorable 18 month old. Dre loves to read anything she can get her
hands on, crochet, eat ice cream and is "just a dancing fool." Some
of her past missions experience includes spring break house building
trips to Mexico as well as short term trips to Fiji, Ecuador, and
Africa. Dre has also been serving in the youth ministry at her church
for the past eight years and hopes to someday make a career out of it.
"I am excited about being in the city and having the opportunity to see
students meet the living God through serving His people."

Kyle Staley
Kyle is from Folsom, California. This year
he transfered to Oklahoma Baptist University where he is a
Psychology major. Over the last four years he has been active in
his church's ministry teams. Music, both listening and playing,
is a passion of his that seems to take over most of his conversations.
He worked with CSM in San Francisco during the summer or 2005
and loved the experience so much that he decided to apply for
New York the summer of 2006. "God continually humbles me and teaches
me new things. Whether in the secular world or in a church, ministry
is my goal, and Christ is my model."
