Tana and Grey Redelsperger:
In summer of 2009, Tana and her son Grey relocated to California from Texas, to live closer to family.
Tana strives to surround herself and Grey with loving and supportive family and friends to ultimately become the
best parent she can be to her son, and raise him to know that he is loved by many. Tana stepped out in faith and
has embraced the move as the opportunity to allow God to lead her life’s journey, and continue to use her for His
intended purpose. Over the past three years Tana has worked and gone to school to pursue a degree in Organizations,Leadership & Management. She is presently a student at University of San Francisco, and expects to obtain her undergraduate degree in early 2014. Tana plans to obtain her master’s degree in Psychology thereafter, in pursuance of practicing family therapy. Tana's bright and engaging personality is contagious and she finds herself making friends wherever she goes. From Grey's soccer games, PTA board meetings, or volunteering as a literacy tutor for the public library, she makes use of every opportunity God puts in front of her.
Tana is deeply connected at church, serving as a Children’s Ministry Coach, inside technology production, and within community outreach missions in Sacramento. God has placed within her a deep desire to share her story with others, and offer an ear to people in need of a friend. Her hope and strength comes from God and she looks forward to being used for His glory in serving at Basilea.
