Vern Byrd - Belize Port Director, works as Operations Manager for the Center for Youth Evangelism in Berrien Springs, MI, and as a part-time firefigher in Southbend, IN. Vern will be the port director in Belize and wants to send out a short blurb about what will be going on there, "WOW, just a little over 5 months to go and we will take over the small country of Belize for a once in a life time- one day mission trip. I have already been getting calls for projects on the small city of Belize. Their asking, "what will you be doing" "can you come and help us in our town". The interest projects at the moment are: orphanages, SDA high and elementary school and working with the local city government in medical relief. We hope to see you soon for that once in a life changing adventure on CWM. If you gave any ideas or thoughts, please email me at  vernbyrd@me.com." Read more about Vern as Belize Port Director.

Lauryn Wild - Hospitality Director, works as an English Language Program Specialist in the San Bernardino School District, where she previously taught 7th and 8th grade. Lauryn is coming to see that the impact she has may come in ordinary moments, "I am realizing that, while I cannot solve the students' problems, I can point them to Jesus...and just by listening and being there I can perhaps let one child at a time experience God's grace." CWM is happy to welcome Lauryn to the team where her outgoing and mission driven personality will shape her role as Hospitality Director.
