Benjamin Cotton
I am a teacher at a secondary school in Bristol. I’m 26 and married to a beautiful woman. I love running. I saw Once the other day and thought it was special. I love The National. Mogwai too.
Dan Larson
Roberto Comparan
Born in Los Angeles, California into a family of nine siblings in 1980, I moved from the urban world of L.A. and into a desert surburb at the age of seven. I am a graphic designer who loves to take care of people. Some think of me as an artist. Others think of me as a counselor. I like to think of myself as a creative and cultural architect who loves Jesus Christ.
My work has been featured in the Desert’s Daily Press, on MTV’s TRL, has spawned an album single cover for Mariah Carey, has been showcased on local city billboards, mounted to high school gym walls, used for Yearbook covers, and has been in numerous print materials such as brochures, postcards, and publications for High Desert Church in Victorville, CA. I now live in San Diego, CA.
By the way, I love Coldplay.

John Jensen (The Rev)
I have been a follower of Jesus for 23 years, and am starting to feel I know what that means. I have been a husband now for 19 years, and I think I know what that means. I have two daughters that are 18 and 16 years old, and I know that means I am getting old, maybe even ancient.
We minister as a family, always have. We try and live out the future kingdom of God, where everything is set right, and redeemed. We are committed to building communities of followers of Jesus, that learn to love each other, and love God’s good creation. We have spent the last four years in Melbourne Australia with some wonderful people, have started three churches and helps re birth another, have helped to coach and mentor a number of young leaders. We are moving back to Long Beach California and hope to do it again.
My favorite Christian authors are Dave Andrews, Jaques Ellul, Ched Myers and Dr. Larry Crabb. I was a professional MMA fighter for five years. I used to bullfight. I repo’d cars. And now I love the game of cricket.

Hi, my name is Darrel Lict and I am from Southern California. I am very interested in Community, helping the poor and seeking justice for the oppressed. I seek to find the Kingdom of God in the most unlikely places.
Matt Rotheram (Iolanthe Proud)
Surrounded by beautiful people, Iolanthe lives alone with his thoughts, ignoring the plight of his fellow human being and worrying about truth. Here, he documents his hypocrisies. He has soft spots for wine, women and song. And football. He wrote this on a night shift.
