From: Born in South Korea and grew up in the Philippines and Taiwan
Studying: Sociology
It always takes some time to introduce myself, so do bear with me:
As a child of missionary parents, I was born in the South Korean peninsula, nurtured in the islands of the Philippines, indoctrinated in Taiwan (not Thailand), and reconstructed at Gordon College. I am a sociology major living in Bromley with five other seniors preparing to say Goodbye to the now familiar and Hello to the new that beckons us.

Major: Business and Spanish; Minor in Youth Ministries
My name is Josh Lopez, and I am a freshman here at Gordon College. I am 5’8” and aspire to dunk on a 10’ hoop one day. I will do it, I know I will. To give you a brief insight into who I am, I’ll go through the traditional “Five F’s.” (If you don’t know what they are, it’s okay. They are the following: Family, Friends, Fun, Faith, Future).
I am one of five children, with one older sister, two younger sisters and a younger brother. It goes girl, boy, girl, boy, girl. It’s cool, I know. My best friends in life are my family and the youth from my church. I couldn’t exist without them. In my spare time I like to do a variety of different things. My top 5 would probably be: 1) Basketball 2) Drums 3) NBA 2K11 4) Football 5) Hanging out. I gave my life to Christ at the age of 13 and haven’t looked back since. It has been difficult at times, but the best five years of my life. Looking toward the future, I aspire to work in marketing as well as working with the youth group at my church during nights and weekends. That’s me.

Studying: English Language/Literature with a minor in Gender Studies
This blog will focus on my experiences living in Dexter House, home of the Elijah Project participants. Throughout my time at Gordon, I’ve also been heavily involved in the music department, having played in the Wind Ensemble for two years. I was also involved with several social justice clubs and helped put on Gordon’s first Human Rights Week. I’m just coming back from a summer spent in India, and I’m exploring new interests in sustainable living and intentional community.
