meet the team!

Meet the team of young missionaries going to Ecuador this January...



Travis Riner was the one of the founding member of the band Showbread in 1997 and cursed the band with their silly name. He is a youth pastor in Orlando, Florida.








Lisa Riner is Travis' wife. She keeps the kids in his youth group from writing on the ceiling.










Patrick Porter is the other founding member of Showbread. He went to India last january and was once stung by hundreds of bees while doing mission work in the states. His favorite food is pad thai.








Vanessa Wells (Vanessa Porter after 11/17/07) is Patrick Porter's fiance. She loves food.










Abi Martinez (Abi Porter after 11/11/07) is Josh Porter's finace. She enjoys organic foods and watching oprah.








Lindsi Johnson is a gifted performance artist. She wobbles her head when she talks and likes kids.









Mike Jensen went to college in Statesboro, GA, where he let his dog use the carpet like a toilet.










Ricky Holbrook plays drums with an intense face. He apologizes for his jokes.










Josh Porter writes books and in his spare time plays shuffleboard.










Landon Ginnings plays in super popular punk outfit Knife To Meet You. He has never been excited in his life.










Matt Davis is an aspiring spokesperson for Monster Energy Drinks. He likes dogs and cats.










Jose combines insults with compliments.











Megan... we haven't met yet... she is a friend of Travis and Lisa.












NOTE: despite the whimsical nature of this post, these people really are our team... we'll have real updates featuring them when the trip is closer to fruition!

Ecuador!





So... Showbread is heading to Ecaudor Januray 20-February 1st to work in the Casa De Fe Orphanage... you can read about it here: http://lacasadefe.org/


This is our new home for information on Raw Rock Missions, Showbread's outlet for mission work world wide... After visiting India earlier this year, God put it on our hearts to put more time in effort into serving his people worldwide, especially in overlooked and underpriveledged parts of the world.
