Candice Ibarra After a year and a half at Bethany College (now University), I decided to take a break and head South. From Sept. 05 to March 06 I participated in a six and a half month Musicians Discipleship Training School with YWAM (Youth With a Mission). I spent 5 1/2 months in Venezuela and one month in Jamaica spreading the love of Jesus through music. I continue to lead worship at my home church of 11+ years, Harvest Christian Center of Redwood City. Currently, I am planning out the rest of this year and this summer will be co-leading a youth mission trip with my church to Tepic, Mexico. The picture is from one of the concerts we did at a school in Maracaibo, Venezuela.
