Trent Sheppard
Trent and his wife Bronwyn live in Worcester, Massachusetts, about an hour west of Boston. He has a B.A. in Intercultural Studies and an M.A. in the History of Christianity and Spiritual Formation.
Although he grew up in Georgia (with a short stint in Hawaii) Trent has lived and worked with YWAM in the UK for eight years, where he helped pioneer and lead a student / young adult community just north of London. Trent and his wife love college students and moved to the UK specifically to be a part of the college student scene there, and to help students with their spiritual journey. They spent part of 2006 and 2007 learning from and working with a YWAM peace-building & reconciliation initiative in Belfast, Northern Ireland, which also included field work in Rwanda and Burundi.
In fact, teaching and travels have taken Trent to 50+ nations (where he's fallen from the top of a coconut tree in Fiji, caught a second-hand high from trekkers in the Himalayan Mountains, and almost drowned while attempting to illegally swim from Thailand to Burma.) He is currently writing a book about global soul, the collision of cultures and the first-century Jesus movement.
