We’re pleased to announce that Christianna Otto will join DiscipleMakers’ Susquehanna Valley Team when she reaches her ministry funding goal! (The Susquehanna Valley Team ministers at Bloomsburg University, Bucknell University, and Susquehanna University.)

“I’m really excited about going to the Susquehanna Valley because there’s a lot of really cool opportunities there,” Christianna said. “I’m looking forward to learning more about the campuses and getting to know the students.”

Christianna’s placement in the Susquehanna Valley comes on the heels of fellow missionary Becky Snyder’s completing her fundraising and beginning her work on the same team. Christianna saw this as an added benefit to her new assignment. “I feel like Becky and I have become pretty good friends during fundraising,” she said, “and now I can look forward to working with her on the team!”

Susquehanna Valley Team Leader Zack Gugenheim also looks forward to Christianna’s arrival. “We’re thrilled to have her,” he said. Praising Christianna’s servant-heartedness, he added, “The fact that the Lord would be faithful to send two new laborers in this season really speaks to His goodness and His concern for the students on our campuses.”

Christianna received her campus placement following her reaching a significant milestone in her fundraising: God has provided 50% of the giving to DiscipleMakers that she needs to reach her funding goal. She began raising support in June, having graduated from Penn State in May.
