What I love about Wheaton:
I love the people! Even though I’ve only been here a year, I’ve been able to form deep relationships that I will be able to lean on for years to come.
Why YHM?
YHM is the incredible opportunity to meet travelers from around the world and share life with one other. During my time in Europe, I learned so much about myself and the incredible love of Jesus through interactions with my team, my managers, and the travelers themselves.
Words to live by:
There is no such thing as coincidence, only change moments orchestrated by God.
I want to...before I die:
Backpack Asia.
It bothers me when:
People spit in public places.

Orientation Coordinator
What I love about Wheaton:
The people it brings together.
WhyYHM?
I love YHM. I love that it shares Jesus with the most unique and interesting random people in a continent that can be forgotten in missions. It changed my life and forced me to wrestle with my own beliefs in a way that I never had before. I want to allow others to have this same experience. (Also, you get to travel Europe…I mean, come on…)
Words to live by:
Live your life loved by and in love with Jesus because nothing else matters in this world.
I want to...before I die:
Live on a ship.
It bothers me when:
People are dishonest.
Craziest thing I've done:
Eaten a sheep brain in the Jordanian desert.

Liz Bilkert
Travel Coordinator
What I love about Wheaton:
People aren't afraid to ask tough questions, aren't satisfied with simple "feel good" answers, and are quick to dig into the Word for direction.
Why YHM?
Two words: Lifestyle of Evangelism (ok, so technically 3) But really, YHM is all about learning how to live a life that is so steeped in the Gospel, that it affects everything you do, everything you say, every place you go, and every person you meet.
Craziest thing I've done:
Kept up a system of hiding handfuls of rice and Ugali down my shirt for 8 days so my village family in Tanzania wouldn’t be offended that I couldn’t eat the mounds of food they served me.
I want to...before I die:
Spend a day in an Egyptian spice market.
It bothers me when:
My fee are covered when I sleep.
