Tanya Miller                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         What’s Up Folks? My name is Tanya N Miller, sometimes folks call me Patty or T-Time…or T$ …. the list goes on and on. I am the resident director for Munro Hall; it’s a pleasure to also be able to serve this year as a co-leader of the Fusion 08 trip to Honduras. I’m really excited about being able to meet the children and workers at Montana da Luz. I expect the Lord to do miraculous things for all who take part in our trip, those who we’ll meet in Honduras, those who will support us through prayer, and those who can offer a financial contribution. This trip allows for my second visit to Honduras, my first trip was a vacation and a chance to visit the country where my mother is from, as I prepare for my second trip I’m anxiously awaiting a chance to serve.

Joseph(Blake) Marshall                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     My name is Blake Marshall. I graduated from Eastern Nazarene College in May '07 with a BA in History. I'm currently working on campus as the Assistant Manager of the ENC Bookstore. I'm also working towards a Masters Degree in Secondary Education and Teaching. I'm very excited to return to Honduras and see all the faces that I hold dear. I am also looking forward to growing close with the team, knowing very well that a week at Montaña de Luz brings together the most diverse people during this brief glimpse of God's Kingdom on Earth. Lastly, and most importantly, I'm praying that God will help me rekindle the selfless and loving lifestyle that I've always striven to live for.
God bless and much peace,
