Kristin and her spouse, Dave, are United Methodist missionaries serving the international congregation of the Methodist Church in Milan, Italy. Kris and Dave have two children, Hannah age 16, and Aiden age 12. Kristin will be bringing our Sunday morning message this week at both services, sharing some experiences of their ministry.
