Allyn Harris - Dault
Allyn Harris Dault came to St. Louis in 2001 to attend Washington University; he liked his new home so much that he's still around. He has long had an interest in discipleship, leadership development, and ministry education, so when he heard World Impact was looking for a Coordinator for The Urban Ministry Institute of St. Louis, it seemed a perfect fit. Allyn and his wife, Jennifer, are also on staff at Third Baptist Church (him - choir director, her - secretary) and are full-time MDiv students at Central Baptist Theological Seminary in Shawnee, KS; it makes life busy, but it helps them better understand other church leaders who balance family life and jobs with developing God's gifts to persons in ministry - and they love it most days! Allyn enjoys great conversation, languages, math, a few TV shows, pretty much all sports, and seeing people grow into who God has made them to be.

Originally from Camarillo, California, Adria attended college at California State University Channel Islands where she studied English.

Rachel Huguenin
Rachel came to World Impact St. Louis in the summer of 2011 from her home town of Topeka, Kansas. She had finished her Freshman year at Manhattan Chrtistian College. Rachel wanted to do something that put her faith into action. After hearing a World Impact missionary speak about the St. Louis ministry, she decided to see what God wanted to teach her through serving for a summer in the city. One of Rachel's favorite aspects of ministry was the opportunity to live in the community where she served and the relationships that she built as a result. Many days she would come home from planning and her neighbor would be outside. Building relationships with this young girl, as well as other families in the nieghborhood brought her outisde my comfort zone, which stretched her faith that summer.
After leaving at the end of the summer, Rachel's neighbors and her experience stayed on her mind. She prayed about returning and felt God lay it on her heart to return to the city. Even though it meant taking a huge step of faith and leaving a college she loved, she decided to follow God's voice and commit to a year-long internship. Rachel graduated Manhattan Christian College with her Associates Degree and has decided to be faithful to God's calling on her life and is learning just how important the lost are to God.
