Jana's Travel Adventures Around the World
-
Worked in Ghana for a few months
Ghana
I joined a Christian worship band in 2006 through a group called Youth Encounter. After spending time on tour in the United States, we were invited by the Lutheran Church of Ghana to come perform in schools, churches, and communities throughout northern and southern Ghana. -

Graduate school internship in India
India
I spent two months in India the summer between my two years in graduate school. During my time with a program called India Study Abroad I was able to follow doctors and nurses making house calls in villages. It also gave me the opportunity to work with an orphanage director as well as shadow Indian charity workers who ran community development programs in Mumbai. -
On assignment in Israel
Israel
During this trip I was working as a writer and editor for www.beliefnet.com, a multi-faith website. The ministry of Israel paid for another editor and I to travel to Israel and see a few of the sites. We were able to explore different Christian and Jewish sites, which was incredibly exciting because I am a Christian. It was a wonderfully peaceful journey in a spiritual sense, and I learned quite a lot about the political situation happening in that part of the world. -

Family wedding in Austria
Austria
Growing up my parents had a few exchange students stay with us. I was able to make it to the wedding of one of these girls (who is like a sister). She got married in Austria but is originally from Germany. It was a beautiful wedding, and I was so happy to be there with my parents and another sister. -
