Ashley, Greg and Kathy Oman

Introducing Ashley Oman and her parents Greg and Kathy Oman. Ashley is an active junior at Eisenhower High School, holding a role on Student Council and participating in National Honor Society, Spanish National Honor Society, and Key Club.  In addition, she plays club volleyball and loves her jazz, lyrical, and ballet dance classes.  Ashley is a member of Trinity, where she has been helping with VBC for the past 5 years and is currently "working" with the youth team that is preparing to attend the 2013 National Youth Gathering this summer in Texas.   She is excited for the Haiti trip, both because of the opportunity to help people and to explore God's call on her life as she makes college and career decisions.

Greg and Kathy have been married 24 years and have two children, Ashley, and their son who is a sophomore at University of Michigan. Greg and Kathy moved from St. Louis, Missouri to Shelby township in Spring 2004 - a job move for Greg and an opportunity to be closer to family.   Greg was a marketing executive for GMAC insurance until his transition into business ownership, starting Macomb Ace Hardware in 2007 and building it from the ground-up.   Kathy worked as an engineer for a few years post-college, was a full-time home maker for a few years, and upon entering back into the job-force in 1999 transitioned into IT project/program management role .  For the past year, Kathy has been on sabbatical from "corporate work", choosing instead to handle book-keeping for ACE, volunteer at Crittenton Hospital, and spend concerted time studying the Word and seeking God's calling on her life.  They were members of Trinity, before transferring membership a year ago to Shepherd's Gate and are in a "house church", active in men's and women's Bible studies, and assisting with the Pastoral Care team.  This will be their first mission trip, and they are eager to serve and touch lives for Christ.
