After 31 years of Federal Government service, Russ retired and they moved to Jacksonville, Florida to be near her parents, in 2017. They now serve with the saints of the South Jacksonville church of Christ, where Russ is working as the full-time evangelist. Professionally, Liz is still working full-time for an architectural and engineering company out of Texas.

Liz has had the opportunity to teach in churches and seminars throughout the world in her years of living and traveling in the U.S. and abroad.

For the past 20 years, Lee has lived in Germany and been active in the work of the kingdom with women and teenage girls throughout Europe and Northern Africa. The Christians of the culturally diverse work in Darmstadt, Germany have been Lee’s family overseas and have been instrumental in her spiritual growth. Being a part of an online magazine is incredibly exciting as it provides the opportunity for sisters of different cultures and backgrounds to form connections with other sisters worldwide and partake more fully in their shared inheritance! Lee has been married for 26 years to Tony, and they have one son, John Carter. John recently married Shelby, a fellow Florida College graduate. John and Shelby now live and work in Tampa where they worship with the saints at Henderson Blvd. Professionally, Lee has spent the past 30 years working as a high school English teacher.

Randi Cassel is a homeschooling mom of two 8-year-olds. She currently lives in Columbus, Georgia but has moved many times because of her husband’s job as an Educator for the DoD. Randi and her husband have had the privilege of spending most of their marriage working together with small American congregations overseas. Her phase of life is disorganized, chaotic, and loud - though it can also be pretty fun most of the time. She desperately clings to God for purpose, patience, and peace.

Jillian Ryan lives in Houston, Texas with her crazy, but adorable labradoodle, loves her role as an aunt to some very sweet and sassy nieces and nephews (not sure where they get it), and is a member of the Bellaire church of Christ. Professionally, Jillian is a business consultant and serial entrepreneur. She is deeply passionate about using her business and career to do good in this world, while hopefully showing other single Christian women you do not have to spend your time just waiting around on a husband to come along!

She has been married to Kent for 21 years and they enjoy outdoor adventures together like mountain climbing and hiking. In her free time, she enjoys reading, traveling, and listening to podcasts.

Shelby Carter was born and raised in Tucson, Arizona. She met her husband John while they were attending Florida College. She studied History and Education and now spends most of her time at Florida College Academy teaching middle school social studies. Teaching young people about the world around them and the biblical connections to history has strengthened her faith and given her a deep love for teaching people, especially young people, about the love of the Lord.

Cami grew up in Ohio, blessed to be raised by parents who loved the Lord. She has been married to Don Bunting, a gospel evangelist for 45 years. They raised three boys, who have married believers, and are faithful to God and raising families of their own. Don and Cami have 8 grandchildren, and she might be guilty of obsessing on them just a bit.

Although they have lived in West Virginia, Georgia, and Norway, most of their gospel work has been in the Northeastern US, which they love and call home. They have lived and worked in New York City and its metro area for the past 20 years.

Cami has held jobs in Adult Literacy, Senior Services, and Wellness/Weight Management, which has given her the opportunity to work with people from all walks of life. Living in Norway and New York City offered her the advantage of knowing people from all over the world, and learning from them.

Cami is co-director of Far Above Rubies (FAR) Bible Camp, a week of Bible study and fellowship for girls. She and Don serve on the board of the non-profit School of Good Works, which has helped secure a location for the girls’ and boys’ camps and various men’s and women’s studies for Christians in the northeast.

Amanda lives in Jacksonville, Florida, and worships with the saints at Cypress Grove church of Christ. Since being baptized in 2016, her life transformed when she came to know Christ. She met her now husband, Michael, on the same day of her baptism and they formed an instant connection talking about their faith in Jesus. They married in 2020 and are proud dog parents to Titan and Yoshi. She enjoys teaching youth Bible class just as much as she enjoys attending a weekly ladies’ Bible class herself. Professionally, Amanda works as a Business Development Director for Acosta, a sales and marketing agency in the consumer-packaged goods industry. She enjoys staying active, walking the beach at sunrise, and befriending every dog she meets.

Sarah Hanlon currently lives in Temple Terrace, FL with her husband Tim. She and Tim have been married since 2011 and have worshiped with the saints at Henderson Blvd. in South Tampa since 2007. For income, Sarah is an Executive Assistant, but for pleasure, she and Tim enjoy spending their time deeply involved in their community and being "Aunt and Uncle" to both their nieces and their friends' kids. When circumstances allow, they also enjoy traveling - specifically to hike and take in God's creation and to visit other groups of saints abroad. Travel is a gift that continues to help Sarah and Tim assess what truly matters and adjust their daily choices to live counter-cultural lives for Jesus.
