Jeri Sue Wilson:  

Life I would love to hear from people, it has been a while. Anyway, below is my life... I stayed and worked in the Ann Arbor area until I moved to Indianapolis, IN in 1990. I moved to Columbus, OH in 1996 to be a part of a church plant team with my church association--Great Commission Ministries. While here in Columbus, I have had the opportunity to go on short-term missions trips to Venezuela 3 years in a row, Germany in August 2001, and to El Salvador in 2002. I didn't have a trip in 2003, 2004, 2005, but would love to head back to Venezuela or Europe if the opportunity is there to do so--it would depend on the political situation there and if it will be safe to take a team. In the summer of 2004 I transferred churches to another GCM church that wasn't campus related, more community related with more people my own age. Since moving churches I have participated in several choir opportunities that have been very enjoyable and impacting. My church only has choirs for special times like Easter, Christmas, & anything else that could be benefitted by a choir. There are no try-outs for the choir, anyone who enjoys singing (whether or not you can carry a tune or not) is allowed to be in it--there were about 250 this year, the biggest so far. There is only encouragement shown, making it a safe & fun place to be. The 2nd weekend of December we do a Christmas program that is free to the public, we did 6 performances this year with almost 6000 people total coming through our doors to see it. We did 10 songs as a choir, the children's choir (100 of them) did 3 songs, there was a skit, and several testimonies. It is my 3rd Christmas program and they are always so amazing. In my spare time I enjoy cooking, baking, sewing, crocheting, beading, camping, canoeing, and traveling. I get up to the St. Johns area about 2-3 times a year since most of my family is still there. I have had a lot of challenging experiences come into my life since 2001, but I have been able to see them as blessings in my life that has helped me to grow in many different ways. I would love to share what has happened with anyone interested, just ask. Life is good!! I'd love to hear from others, feel free to click on the e-mail icon to contact me. College I had the opportunity to complete 3 years of college and start into my 4th at Eastern Michigan University. I lived in Putnam Hall for the first 3 years in the same room. Putnam was an international dorm at the time and the exposure to living with the internationals was awesome. I had many friends there and the opportunity to do some English tutoring with a few of them. Even though I didn't complete college, I'm very grateful for the opportunity to go to college and receive the experiences, education, and knowledge that I did. While in college I had a double major of Special Ed/Visually Impaired and Secondary Ed/Geography. I learned a lot about myself in college and have used some of the skills I learned from my educational experiences in different forms during the past 20 years. Overall, college was one of the best things in my life, it helped me to discover who I can be and to start developing that person to become a big part of who I am today. Workplace I have worked a number of jobs since I have been old enough...Expand for more
