Patrick Conti

Patrick joined the Children's Cup team in 2005 and has carried a huge load for the team in a wide variety of areas. This is how he expressed his heart for being on the team:

"Can you imagine millions of children who are forgotten, left behind, unloved and lack any positive identity? Africa faces such a situation with over 15 million orphans due to HIV/AIDS. Children's Cup by God's grace and direction has been able to bring life and truth to some of these children. Convicted and convinced I head back to Africa because it screams out for God's people to extend love. My prayer is to carry God's Spirit and His love with me. God loves these children and my life goal is to become the likeness of Christ!"

Stephanie is a graduate from the Healing Place School of Ministry and joined the Cup team in June of 2008. She is our administrative assistant at our home office in Prairieville, LA. This is what she shared:

"It's exciting to be able to dive into the heart of something so deep as Children's Cup and take part of drinking deep with them. Every day is a journey as God continues to shape and use me for those that are thirsty for Him. I know God has called me to the nations and I will remain obedient and open to whatever He has in store. How do you want to use me, Lord? Stir my heart for Your people. Change my heart to be more like Yours."
