We are pleased to introduce to you two new Mission Office staff members!
Crysta recently joined our office as the Administrative Assistant to Associate Director, Craig Stevenson. Her primary role will be to work with new missionary candidates, along with assisting Craig with the new Beyond Borders program. She married her high school sweetheart, Austin, in December 2017, and they attend Graceway Baptist Church, Springfield. There they are involved in children’s ministry and lead a small group in the college class. Crysta and Austin enjoy watching movies, hiking, travel and exploring new areas. Her favorite location to visit is the Kansas City, MO area where she and Austin grew up and where their families now live. Crysta is excited to be able to grow more here at the Mission Office and be able to use her skills in a ministry setting.
Bon works part-time in assisting Media Manager, Mike Esquibel with graphic design, our social media presence, and web development. He has been married to his wife, Kristan, since May 2017. Bon also works part-time at Graceway Baptist Church, Springfield, as the Student Pastor where he oversees the Middle School and High School classes, and aids the church with media related tasks. In his free time, he enjoys playing video games and board games with his friends, and reading and spending time with his wife particularly at different parks around town. Bon and Kristan especially enjoy visiting Sam’s Throne Trail (located near Harrison, AR) which extends along a bluff area overlooking a long and beautiful valley where they often dated and ultimately sealed a wedding proposal. Bon, after recently leading a short-term mission trip to San Jose, Costa Rica, looks forward to the opportunity of going back to experience their amazing weather and be a part of the local church there again.
