Introducing Our Summer Interns

We are so happy to have Troy LaRue and Taylor Brewster as our Student Movement

interns this summer! We have asked them a few questions to get to know them better.

You can read a handful of their answers below. To learn more about them, visit our

website: http://crosstownfamily.org/meet-our-summer-interns/

Troy LaRue

Age: 20 Hometown: Hereford, TX

Grew Up Attending: Central CoC Number of Siblings: 6

School: Oklahoma Christian University Year in School: Junior

Major: Preaching Ministry

Troy enjoys being outdoors, reading, and watching movies. He likes the

color sea green. His most cherished childhood memory is spending time

with his grandparents. His favorite family recipe is his grandmother’s

chicken soup. Growing up, he got into trouble for fighting with his little

brothers. Troy was baptized when he was 12, and he considers this his

most important event in his life so far. One of his favorite Bible verses is

Revelation 22:4. The hardest thing he’s ever done is studying abroad in

Europe for a semester in college. One of the difficult things he has learned in life is that

discipline is more important than motivation. His dream job is preaching the gospel. Someday

Troy hopes to be able to slap a bison, travel to every national park, and shoot a 12-point buck

or higher. His role model is his father because he is hardworking and lives his life in a very

purposeful way.

Taylor Brewster

Age: 19 Hometown: Tulsa, OK

Grew Up Attending: Dwtn Bixby CoC Number of Siblings: 1

School: Harding University Year in School: Sophomore

Major: Accounting/Management Information Systems

Taylor enjoys volleyball and baking. One of her favorite restaurants in

Tulsa is Yokazuna. She likes all of Taylor Swift’s songs. One of her

favorite memories from her childhood is playing outside with her friends

in the neighborhood. When she was younger, she got into trouble because

of her messy room. In the future, she would really enjoy working with

accounting because she loves numbers. A few things on Taylor’s bucket

list includes backpacking Europe, going to New York City, and going to a

One Direction concert. Also, she would like to learn how to surf someday. If she could spend

the whole day doing anything, she would enjoy going to the beach with friends and hammock

in the sun all day. Taylor looks up to her mom because she is a daily reminder of the woman

she wants and strives to be.
