Rev. Rachel Anderson has joined Pueblos Hermanos from Atlanta Georgia. After graduating from James Madison University in 1992, she began her international life with six months in London. Since then she has continued to live and work as if the boarders between nations and careers – in her case, ministry and social work – do not exist. She has worked for the state of Georgia with foster children, and several levels of long term residential care for children and adolescence. Mixed with social work has been a career of ministry; she has served in a variety of capacities in five different PC(USA) churches.

Having completed Columbia Theological Seminary her ordained ministry began with service as Residential Director at Tamassee DAR School, a residential group home for children in South Carolina. Along the way, her call to boarder issues has taken her as far as Jordan and Pakistan. “I remain excited about what God is doing on the boarders of our lives and our nations,” she explains.

She joins Pueblos Hermanos in April 2010, after several months of language acquisition in Ensenada, Mexico. You can contact her via email at rachel.anderson(at sign)yahoo(dot)com with any questions or comments. (Replace "at sign" with "@" and "dot" with "." for working e-mail address.)
