Meet Swazi Team Member Beth Robbins

Elisabeth "Beth" Robbins writes:

I was born and raised in Nebraska, raised two sons and attended graduate school in Minnesota, have been five years in Iowa and two at Christ Church in Cedar Rapids. Occupation: family therapist, supervisor of St. Luke's Hospital Family Counseling Center. I believe that as God's hands and feet on earth, we human beings have a twofold purpose: First to serve and be served as we work together building humanity in Christ's image; second, to live in this world deeply, experiencing creation in all its fecundity. Why go all the way to Swaziland to do this? It's a mystery to me—my intuition says to go and the purpose will become more clear later. I hope we will make some progress on constructing the school, but the larger benefit is probably in the personal, ongoing relationships we form among team members and with people in Mpaka and the Diocese of Swaziland.

Welcome, Beth!
