Sarah Marie Graver
Sarah Graver is a senior planning to pursue communications with an emphasis in advertising at Lee University. Sarah’s interest in short-term missions began with God laying it on her heart as a passion to serve others while doing something she really enjoys. “It is an opportunity,” she says, “that I have been given and something that I would like to continue doing.”
Another of the 2011 Costa Rica trip veterans, Sarah says that that experience was one of the best she has ever had. “God really taught me a lot, and I wanted to go back a second time to build off those relationships made.” Both that ministry trip and another to Arizona have really changed her life, she shares, and have given her an enthusiasm for missions. Sarah plays soccer and throws shot and discus for track. She hopes (better said, she “plans”) on breaking the school record for shot-put this year as she trains by participating in weight lifting.
She reminds us all that “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Hebrews 13:8
Corey Meade
Corey Meade is a senior at Xenia Christian and plans on studying occupational therapy in college. While she has been on other ministry trips, this is Corey’s first time to fly to and work in a foreign country. “I have always had a heart for missions,” she says, “and …I wanted to experience a more extreme side of missions. Costa Rica has always been a destination I have dreamed of visiting, and the added bonus that I get to serve others while I am there makes it even better.”
Previous ministry trips include work in coastal Carolina to help rebuild a family’s home. She shares that “It impacted me a lot. It was a very awesome feeling to know how we were impacting someone’s life for the better.”
Corey’s other interests include helping people (which she loves) and sports. She hopes to find a way to use sports for God’s glory. She encourages to always trust God and never forget who they are.
