About Lynn Wehner

Lynn Wehner As a wife and mother, writer and speaker, Lynn Wehner challenges others to see the blessings that flow when we struggle to say "Yes" to God’s call. Control freak extraordinaire, she is adept at informing God of her brilliant plans and then wondering why the heck they never turn out that way. After 13 years in high-tech media relations, she left the corporate world, and God wrapped her heart around the non-profit ministry Movin' With The Spirit (MWTS.org) and Faith & Family magazine, where she is Associate Editor. She can't find her way across town without a GPS, but makes a mean homemade brownie. Get a glimpse of her world at Room to Bloom

Sarah Bauer, age 25


At World Youth Day in Sydney, Australia, this dynamic 25-year-old singer/songwriter hopes to share the same kind of Christian joy she did at World Youth Day in Cologne, Germany.
