Meet our Missionaries!

  • AJ

    Howdy! My name is AJ (Alexander John) Walters, and I am so thrilled to be a part of the 2023-24 missionary staff. I'm highly interested in french fries, dinosaurs, and mythical dragons. I also love to play music, make friends, play basketball, and eat everything in sight. I cannot wait to share my knowledge and my story with others while also growing and learning about myself and my faith. God Bless!

  • Ian

    Hello there, my name's Ian! I was born in Washington state, and moved up and down the West Coast until it finally led me overseas to Austria, where I studied at a Pontifical institute (International Theological Institute). I've seen quite a lot, and read even more – but I wouldn't mind the chance to talk with you and get to know you more. I hope to see you soon!

  • Jared

    Hi, my name is Jared! I grew up in central California and now live in the panhandle of Texas. This is my fourth consecutive year of ministry: three years at an organization based in Minnesota and now here, at The Pines. I love dairy cows, and I’m excited to host and lead retreats this year!

  • Kamryn

    Hello, beautiful people! My name is Kamryn, and I grew up in Wichita Falls, TX. I just graduated from Texas State University in San Marcos, TX! Go Bobcats! My hobbies include playing volleyball, throwing a frisbee, playing spikeball, listening to music, kayaking/canoeing, sports, watching movies, coloring, traveling, spontaneous adventures, and dancing like nobody's watching. I am so excited to be a missionary at the Pines and to share my story and experiences with all the people that come and go, but I'm also excited to see how I grow in my faith and as a person through this experience. Go Trees!
