Rhonda Herrington
was raised in a Christian home, but her relationship with Jesus really began in high school. At a summer youth camp, Rhonda heard Josh McDowell speak and was so moved by Jesus’ love for her that she prayed for Jesus to come into her heart, forgive her sins, and be the Lord of her life. She recounts the message on her heart that night, “…the fact that Jesus died for my sins and that if I had been the only one in the world that would have trusted him He would have still died for me…” Rhonda is involved in Singles Group and Women’s Bible Study. Rhonda is a Culinary Arts Instructor at Central Community College.

Loria Lei Thunker
became a Christian 4 years ago when she was in college. She had heard about Christ, but did not have a relationship with Him. Her freshman year of college, shortly after she lost her step-father, a friend invited her to church and to Cru (Campus Crusade for Christ). It was this same friend who helped her with a personal Bible study. The exposure to God’s people and God’s word caused her to turn her life over to Jesus. Loria Lei has attended GI Free for the past 1 and half years where she’s been active in Sunday School, Women’s Bible Study, and Young Adults. Loria Lei is a Teacher for Northwest Public Schools.

Greg Woitaszewski
has believed in God since he was a child, but invited Jesus into his heart and accepted Him as his personal Lord and Savior 8 years ago following a particularly challenging period of his life. “I try to turn everything over to God and let Him work in my life…I just get out of [His] way” Greg has been attending GI Free for 12 years now and serves in the Singing Christmas Tree. Greg lives in Grand Island and is employed as a Sign Maker/Tech for Mayhew Signs.
