Daniel Hovanas

This
is Daniel — I’m 20, and here’s what I can think of at the moment. I
love God and want to go to  Africa work trip with AIM this summer. I
played soccer — I’m a Seahawks fan — and Polish Ping-Pong champ (just
ask my friend Kenny). I live in Vancouver, Washington, where I’m a
part-time student and part-time employee. I’m not excited about school
(which I’m taking a break from this semester) or my job, but hope to
trade-up to being a student at Multnomah Bible College in the near
future. For the past three years I’ve worked as the Intern with my
church’s Mid-High and Sr. High student ministries — and I love our
students (even though they tick me off sometimes). One of my favorites
is Scotty — he’s our only 8th grader, struggles with developmental
disabilities and cerebral palsy. He’s a stud, and he’s almost like a
brother to me (which of course makes me a stud too). I volunteer at
City Team Ministries once a month. It’s a homeless mission and
residential recovery program, and our youth serve meals and do service
projects for them. Maybe this is part of why I also want to start a
ministry to the homeless. Still thinking through that one. I just want
to work with kids and others in need — outside the U.S. for once —
and that’s what I’m signing up for with this trip. I don’t like
spiders, but I’ll man-up for this trip.
