In <strong>20</strong>13, <strong>NSP</strong> started its first chapter of ministry in Illinois. What began as the hope and prayer<br />
of a single local high school student (Heather Barnes, who would eventually become our Illinois<br />
State Director) has evolved into a powerful network of students, families and local churches.<br />
This year, our Illinois team had the privilege of working with students at over 80 middle and high<br />
schools across the state, in addition to schools in Minnesota and Colorado.<br />

The Illinois team grew in some big ways this year! First, three key staff members who bring<br />
dozens of years of experience from the business world were added to the team. You can read<br />
more about them in our Capacity Builders section on page 27. Second, Jon Cox was promoted<br />
as the new Illinois State Director. Heather Barnes, who has served as IL State Director for three<br />
years, will be transitioning to the part-time role of Special Projects Director this fall. Third,<br />
Jonathan Cordova was welcomed as the new chapter director at Moody Bible Institute in May.<br />
Jonathan was first coached by <strong>NSP</strong> as a high school student, later served as a Lead Coach in<br />
college, and we are excited to see him step into this full-time role next year.<br />
