Christine Wald

Christine Wald was born and raised in Minnesota.  She used to love the colder climate.  During the winters she could be found out on the skihill teaching lessons until it was 40 below, but she decided it was time to move to a warmer climate when she went to college.  After receiving a degree in Graphic Design from Pensacola Christian College, she moved to Illinois for six months before returning to live in Pensacola, Florida.  She’s had a variety of jobs including lifeguarding, working at a group home with mentally and physically disabled adults, being an emergency responder/security officer for Caterpillar and working at Kinko’s.  She went on her first Teen Missions team as a team member to Holland in 1993. After college she came back to Teen Missions as a volunteer on the Ecuador Adult Work team in 2000.  Then in the summer of 2001 she led her first team to India.  Since joining staff in January of 2002 she’s led the ’02 Indiana Puppet/Clown Preteen, ’03 Music Festivals, ’04 Guatemala Orphanage and ’05 Orphan Foot Washing.

She works in the Graphics Department and also has the opportunity to run Overseas Boot Camps each November-January.  She ran the very first Boot Camp in Kenya in 2002 and since then, she has run the Nampula, Mozambique Boot Camp.
