Sara is now a children's pastor in Walla Walla, Washington.
July 2006
After working in New York’s bustling magazine industry for nearly a year, I’m gearing up for an international adventure. I will be heading to Lusaka, Zambia with six other people from Times Square Church this August. This will be a two week mission to minister to the generation of children who have been orphaned by the aids epidemic. With my Communications background, I’ve been asked to prepare the skits for our team. I will also be utilizing my public speaking skills as we go to speak to and encourage the local churches in Zambia. I’m looking forward to this opportunity to serve the body of Christ with my heart, hand and hand.
Last year Sara lived in New York City where she worked with an advertising firm.

Unfortunately, when
Sara arrived in New York in
July to
check out the living arrangements she and her
traveling partner Professor Debbie Pope discovered that instead
of taking in long-term boarders, the sisters at a convent where she
hoped to rent a room now run a guest house for
visitors to the city -- with a maximum stay of two weeks allowed.
Undaunted, Sara wrote to
the sisters when we got back to Seattle, presented her case, and
requested permission to take up residence in September. Debbie
Pope sent a letter of reference with hers.
After the three head sisters interviewed Sara by phone this afternoon,
they welcomed her at the convent.
She arrives in New York
on a Jet Blue red-eye, 8 a.m., Sunday, September 18, to "join" the
sisters at CHS.
