Jake & Danielle Darnell

I'm currently in grad school at Western Michigan University, getting my Master's degree in International Development Administration (think U.N. or USAID training course). My fellow students are a bunch of people like me who are interested in why societies break down, why they struggle with poverty, corruption, etc., and how they can move in the direction of stability and health. And thankfully, there are a few of us who follow Christ and add the knowledge of economic policy, international relations and development theories to an understanding that this is God's world, a God who is righteous and just and cares deeply for the poor and oppressed. So it shouldn't have been a surprise to me when Danielle Darnell caught me after class one day and said she'd love to talk more about "that organization you keep mentioning".
