In March, Musalaha was sad to say goodbye to Christina Crespin, our administrator and the backbone of our office. Christina was a hard worker, faithful servant, and dear friend. She returned to the U.S. after four years here, and we greatly appreciate her dedication and effort. We pray the Lord’s blessings on her as she makes the transition back into the States.

We are thankful for the addition of two new staff members, Brittany Browning and Mina Frenkel.

Brittany grew up in Nazareth, where her parents pastored the Nazarene church. She has returned to Israel after finishing college at Wake Forest University and teaching in Russia for three years. She will take over the office management, and work on expanding our youth department.

Mina is a student at the Israel College of the Bible here in Jerusalem. Born in Haifa to a religious Jewish home, she became a believer while visiting South Africa after the army. God has given her a love and burden for both Arab and Jewish people, and she has come for a trial period to work in the office.
