Adrienne Harris
I am 25 years old and have been in Kandern, Germany since October 2005. I graduated from Ohio State University and from Ashland Theological Seminary. I worked as a clinical counselor for 2 years before departing for Germany. I am serving as an intern for Athletes in Action and have been working with the World Cup Project (AIA's overall World Cup outreach).


Daniela Fritz
I am a 27-year-old living in Stuttgart, Germany working with "kickoff2006" through the International Baptist Church. Being German gives me a very unique perspective on what's happening here during the World Cup. I have interned with Campus Crusade for Christ at the European headquarters and participated on a summer project in Orlando, FL USA. I speak fluently in English, French, German, Spanish. I believe the only way to really meet people and know their heart is to know their language. That is why I love this opportunity to share the gospel with the world.

Ray Caldwell
I am 44 years old and have been a staff member for almost 20 years. My current assignment is Athletes in Action Pro Staff and I am the Soccer Rep in Southern California in the USA. The aim of our ministry is to utilize the platform of soccer to help make Jesus Christ known in the United States and around the world. I am married to Lisa, and have three children, McKenzie (12), Nicholas (11), and Cameron (7).

Zach Blaine
I am a former James Madison University college soccer player and I have worked with AIA the last two years. I served on a STINT in Germany in 2005 working with the World Cup Project (helping prepare for 2006). I also was an intern at Athletes in Action World Headquarters in Xenia, Ohio. I am now a full-time staff member and will be a Soccer Specialist working at AIA's new Sports Complex. From June 5 through July 9 I will travel all over Germany during the World Cup serving on AIA's Tour Bus as devotional/street soccer cordinator.
