Ethan accepted Christ at the age of six and has been living a life dedicated to the Lord since he was 13. He has participated on seven Teen Missions teams—three as a team member and four as a leader—and is excited to lead and build relationships with his team this summer. Ethan spent three years at a Bible college in Montana and enjoys spending time outdoors taking in God’s creation by hiking, camping, and backpacking.

Emily grew up in a Christian home but accepted Christ at 14 during a youth camp. The following summer, she went on a Teen Missions team and felt called to full-time ministry. Since then, she has grown in her walk with the Lord, serving as Coordinator for Sojourner School of Ministry and on Teen Missions staff. Emily has participated on multiple teams as a member and leader, including six as a head leader, and loves discipling teens while helping them discover their potential in Christ. In her free time, she enjoys reading, spending time with friends, and relaxing at the beach.
