Damian & Nancy McCrink We are a couple that love each other, our son (Levi) and desire to serve God with all our lives.Now: We are living Portugal studying language so we go to Mozambique, Africa to work with rescuing children. God has given us a heart for the lost, hurting, and abandoned. Our vision for helping the children of Mozambique is through the development and building of Group Homes. You can find out more about us at our website - hopewithinafrica.com Our Past: Both served as missionary associates (a one year assignment) at the City of Refuge Children’s Home in Kingston, Jamaica. While there we fell in love and got engaged. Nancy worked as a house parent, and I (Damian) worked leading teams, distributing the Book of Hope in schools, and projects at the City of Refuge and local churches. Together we also started a children’s church at the City of Refuge. Upon leaving the City of Refuge, We began serving as intern pastor then stayed as college and young adult pastor at First Assembly of God in Normal, Illinois.

My Interests

Hopewithinafrica.com Traveling, The Beach, music, a concert every once and awhile, hanging out with my wife, bike riding, public speaking, computers (Mac’s), making videos, talking with friend about how we can change the world, helping people in need, coffee, watching a good movie, and I think I would like scuba diving if I had money, time, and lived by the ocean.

He also is active in helping children in Africa.Don Miller- Author of a few books (Blue Like Jazz, Looking For God Knows what, and I don’t remember the name of the other one. Or how about a conversation with Derek Webb (Song Writer) and Don Miller at the same time.Billy Graham- Because…..he is Billy.George W. Bush- Why not.
