My name is Jessica! I am currently a sophomore Northwestern student. I am majoring in Christian Education and Spanish. I have two younger sisters and a dog and cat. I lived in Colorado until I was 13, but now my hometown is Cherokee, IA. I love music, but I am not gifted with any musical abilities. Cheesy jokes are my favorite things. I could live on cereal, Reese's Puffs to be exact. Jesus Christ is the most important person in my life, and desire to know Him more each day. My one of my favorite passages in scripture is...Psalm 73:23-26, "Nevertheless, I am continually with You; You hold my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward You will receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is nothing on earth I desire besides You. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."

 
Hello! My name is Jacob Gilleland and I am a sophomore at Northwestern College. I am a business administration major with an emphasis in human resources. I am from Eagan Minnesota, a suburb outside the twin cities. I spend a lot of my time outdoors hiking and being in nature, however, it's a little harder in Iowa compared to Minnesota. I think that smiling is a great thing! I tend to be very positive and happy go lucky. I absolutely love working with the youth in any way I can and I am so blessed to have the opportunity to help lead the Middle School Retreat. I cant wait to see what God has in store for all of us!
