Shenouda Gwaid
I'm a dentist and a father of three children. My kids are ages 8, 5, and 4 and it's because of them and my love of fatherhood that I chose this ministry of serving children. I sing, act, play sports, and always have a sense of humor because I feel that I easily connect with the kids this way when talking about the Lord. My main role during these retreats is to lead the games portion and I absolutely have as much fun as they do

"I am an attendee of the Pasadena Church. I am ninteen years old. I have been a sunday school teacher for the lower elementary age group (5-8 years old) for 4 years. This is my fourth year attending the children's retreat. The children's retreat is special to me because God's presence is visible, and his will and word can be seen taking place in the hearts of the children attending

Hello, I am 20 years old. I attend Temple City Arabic Church. My major is Criminal Justice. I serve with Sunday school with the elementary group. I teach the kindergarten class, and I absolutely love it. This is my second year attending the kids retreat. Just from being there last year I saw that God's presence was in the place. This is truly a time for them to come and fellowship with Him, and gets to know our Savior. I just pray that God may use me and set me as a good example for our young generation as I get to know and work with each child. "
Christine Mina
I'm Tina and this is my first year serving at the retreat. The retreats I attended in the past have had a huge influence on me; I actually came to know Christ at a retreat when I was 12 :) I love children's ministry, but I especially have a heart for serving among the junior high and high school groups. I know that God has equipped and prepared me for this ministry in particular. Right now, my days are divided between church, school and work. I work at an Adoption Agency, and I absolutely love what I do. I am also working on my Master's degree in Clinical Psychology, which I am very passionate about. The highlight of my week is attending the IMPACT graduate meeting at Arabic Evangelical Church. We have been learning about the work of the Holy Spirit over the last couple of months, and I cannot wait to see what God has in store for us at the retreat this year!
