Bangkok Directors - Jennifer Lo and Sarah Horsman
Jennifer Lo loves to travel domestically and internationally. She is always up for packing up her bags and exploring the world with good friends and the ones made along the way! She is an American-born Chinese and has many fond memories spending time with her immediate family, cousins, aunts and uncles at Christmas reunions. Jennifer finds joy in things, such as arranging flowers, dancing, spending quality time with friends, reading, writing, painting, making music and laughing a lot. She loves children, holding newborn babies and taking in life with wonder and amazement.
Jennifer first experienced the love of Jesus when she was a child; she grew up attending Lord’s Grace Christian Church. She became open to God’s call on her life for missions at Urbana 2003. God has used many different experiences to shape and mold her heart for the poor and social justice, such as studying abroad in Paris for a semester and being an intern at LAUP (Los Angeles Urban Project, 2005). She recently completed a 2-year internship with Servant Partners, a church-planting organization, in South Los Angeles. She is grateful for the lessons learned, life lived, community gained and the ways Jesus has refined her character and faith while living in the inner-city. She had the privilege of staffing this past summer’s Bangkok Urban Trek and is thrilled that she will be returning to Thailand to co-direct this summer.

I'm Sarah Horsman and I am a recent graduate from the University of Nevada, Reno with my bachelor's in child development. I have been a preschool teacher for almost three years and am heavily involved in the InterVarsity chapter at UNR.
My experience in InterVarsity has been drastically transformative for me--from learning what it really means to follow Jesus, to leading a small group for three years, to learning what it means to lead other leaders, to obtaining calling and convictions at Urbana, and to follow Jesus into Bangkok, Thailand for the last three summers.
I have participated with the Global Urban Trek for the past two years and I am stoked to have the privilege of directing this year with the lovely and encouraging Jen Lo! I am a strong extrovert and love being social. I appreciate honesty and love to give it--perhaps inappropriately I'm told as well:).
I live with three of my best friends who I went to college with and we stay up late most nights laughing so hard we cry. I'm sensitive, but cry seldomly. I drink too much coffee and give in to shopping more times than I should. I love folk and indie music. I've been attending a fabulous church for the last five years in Reno where I also teach Sunday school.
I'm about to have a beautiful niece named Bella in April and I can hardly wait! My parents have made me who I am today and I am consistently blown away by the blessing they are in my life. I am looking forward to spending another summer in a country that I have fallen in love with and to get to share that experience with YOU!
