| Marshall & Robyn Baker: |
 |
I have moved back to New Mexico, Rio Rancho to be exact, to start an environmental academy/FFA program at a really cool new high school. Many of you may not know, but after leaving Gainesville, I got pretty active in outdoor/experiential education, and this program allows me to connect agriculture with the outdoors and wilderness areas.
Robyn and I are on year three as a married couple, and loving every minute. We had some struggles because of the economy in Indianapolis, but God was amazing in how he delivered us out of the mess and into this great new change. We just placed membership at Sandia Church of Christ.
Robyn is studying for the bar exam and I am hiking, biking, kayaking and getting ready for the new job!
Come and see us! It is beautiful and a great place to visit!

| Philip Cunningham: |
|
I was a student at UF & a part of Gators for Christ for 2 years (Fall '99-Spring '01). I transferred to Harding University to pursue a career in full-time ministry. I graduated in the Spring of 2004 with a B.A. in Bible & Religion and Preaching. After beginning a year of grad studies at Abilene Christian University in Abilene, TX, I was hired as the full-time preaching minister at the Emerald Beach Church of Christ in Panama City Beach, FL. It's a young church plant that is around 7 years old and just moved into their newly-built 14 months ago. We have about 80 members. The emerald coast of northwest Florida is a high-growth area right now, so there is excellent potential for evangelism & growth. I'm thrilled to death to be in my hometown and a part of such a great, up-and-coming church. I'd love to meet up with any & everyone who might like to be a part of reunion-of-sorts at Gulf Coast Getaway here in Panama City, FL in January. You can contact me at (850) 774-1914, or E-mail at feetwasher3@hotmail.com.
