Krista Bonte: Being raised in a family on mission for the gospel had a big influence on Krista's personal journey in pursuing Christ and surrendering her life to full-time missions. In 2012, she graduated from Lancaster Bible College and began the Cross Training process for global partnership with Calvary Church of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Through her church, Krista was introduced to Christar, which she joined in 2016. She spent three years on a church-planting team in Central Asia before returning to the U.S. and joining the Christar Mobilization Center U.S. Krista's ongoing love for Central Asians and other least-reached people continues to inspire her to mobilize more laborers for the harvest field.

Andrew Broeckelman graduated from Kansas State University with a degree in engineering. Having gained a heart for the world and subsequently for mobilization while in college, he joined the ministry staff of The Traveling Team immediately afterward. While on The Traveling Team, he met Abbie, who shared his passion, and they got married. In 2018, they transitioned to mobilizing for Christar and spent some time in the Christar International office in Spain before landing at the Christar Mobilization Center U.S. in August 2019. Andrew is now serving as the director of church engagement & recruitment, leading efforts to develop greater church partnership and mobilization efforts.
