Jennifer Nilson 
Thanks for checking out my bio!  My name is Jennifer Nilson, and I am a junior public relations major at Northwestern College in Orange City, IA.  I am originally from Hawarden, IA, where I grew up on a huge cattle farm.  I have 2 wonderful parents, 2 brothers, 2 sisters, a brother-in-law, a sister-in-law, 3 nephews, and 1 niece.  Needless to say, I am a family person, and there is never a dull moment at the Nilson household! 

I plan to graduate from NWC in December of 2010 and pursue a career in public relations/event planning.  I don't know what that all includes yet, but I am confident God will reveal that to me. 

Some things that I love to do include singing, playing the piano, dancing, shopping, laughing (I do this a lot), serving others around me, and most of all, serving Jesus Christ!  Without him, none of this would be possible! 

I hope to meet and get to know you at this retreat, and I hope you're as excited as I am about it!

Michael Ten Clay 
My name is Michael Ten Clay.  I am a 21 year old, junior accounting major at Northwestern College in Orange City.  Originally, I am from Sheldon, IA.   I am the son of Dennis and Deb and have two older brothers, David and Daniel.  I am a member of First Reformed Church in Sheldon.   

Some of my hobbies include playing basically all types of sports, being around friends and family, and woodworking.  One of my greatest passions is the ability to go on mission projects that enable me to help others with the gifts that God has given me, especially when I am able to do construction.  Currently, I am one of the Spring Service Project coordinators at Northwestern, and I also spend many weeknights officiating basketball games for local schools.
