Born and raised in Buffalo, NY, Natalie came to Washington, DC in 2009 and studied anthropology and creative writing at American University. During her time as a student in Chi Alpha, she felt a call to missions and completed the DC Chi Alpha CMIT program after graduation in 2013. As a worship leader, mentor, and teacher, she is passionate about reaching college students, specifically in urban hubs in the northeast, with the transforming love of Christ and fostering depth in relationship with Jesus, in worship, and in community.

I have enjoyed many great experiences on mission trips and in serving others. This mission trip with Chi Alpha will be able to help others hear the Gospel and be able to help those whom God has called me to help. I look forward to the opportunities and challenges that may come with this mission trip. I have also learned many valuable things from previous mission trips, and I look forward to the lessons that I will learn in Buffalo.

I want to go on this mission trip because it is a chance to learn and help other believers in their work at other Chi Alpha locations. I truly believe God will use this opportunity to help me grow in my faith and bless others in the process.
Justin Morgan
I am a senior at American University majoring in Political Science and Spanish. I am originally from Fremont, California and currently resides there. This semester, I feel called to serve on Chi Alpha’s mission trip to Buffalo, New York, where I hope to spread God’s love and the joys of a relationship with Him through missional service. I especially look forward to building new Christ-centered relationships with others and strengthening my friendships with my team through this trip.

Last year, I was blessed to be able to go to Zanzibar on mission, serve the people there, and learn more about the difficult work being done to reach the population. While I am unable to go again this year, I know God is still calling me to serve Him wherever I can, despite circumstances or challenges in my life. I'm praying God uses me to build His Kingdom wherever I am.
