BELINDA BAUMAN

Educator turned advocate, Belinda Bauman seeks to bring hope to women in crisis.
After living internationally for a decade in conflict and post-conflict zones, Belinda
experienced what she calls a “beautiful collision” with brave women who survive in the most dangerous places in the world. Belinda is the founder of One Million Thumbprints, a movement of peacemakers advocating with women in the world’s worst conflict zones, and the visionary behind #SilenceIsNotSpiritual, a campaign calling churches to break the silence on violence against women. Belinda is a speaker and contributor to Newsweek’s The Daily Beast, Red Tent Living, Huffington Post and Christianity Today. Her first book, Brave Souls: Experiencing the Audacious Power of Empathy, will be published in 2019. Belinda completed a Masters in Curriculum Development from Covenant College, a Bachelors in Education from the University of Wisconsin, and a certificate in lay trauma counseling from the Seattle School of Theology. Belinda and her husband, Stephan, and their two sons, Joshua and Caleb, recently traded the hub-bub of greater Washington DC for Grand Rapids, MI where they relish late night conversations with friends while gazing at the stars.

SUNITA & ANDY GROTH

Sunita has her Master’s in Economics and Finance from Binghamton University and her Bachelor’s in International Relations and Economics from Gordon College.

Andy’s life was changed on a trip to India and Thailand where he participated in a sting operation with International Justice Mission (IJM) to rescue underage girls who had been forced into prostitution. This fanned a flame in him to serve those on the margins and the past 15 years have included three stints of living overseas, with many travels in between.

Sunita and Andy met while living in Rwanda and were formed by the resilience, love and hope of the friends they met there. Together they make their home in downtown Washington, D.C. with their four children: Gabe, Addie, Asha and Eden.
