Briar Dale

INTERN

Briar was raised in New Orleans as a missionary kid.  His family moved there in response to Hurricane Katrina and worked with Crossroads Missions in the rebuilding process.  He first encountered DM as a teenager on a challenge expedition with his youth group.  After completing a four-year degree program with Louisiana Bible College, he has returned to DM as an Intern.  Briar is excited to take part in how God is working here!

Emma Bates

HOUSEKEEPING/OFFICE ASSISTANT

Emma is a delightful addition to our summer and part-time staff.  Her diligence and willingness to serve through cleaning and being a utility player has been helpful.  Having grown up at Discovery Ministries (she is the Director's daughter), she brings a unique perspective of the ministry that occurs. Currently, her skills and versatility have made her an asset to the front office processes.
