Gloria Toti loves life and hardly meets a person she doesn’t want to speak an encouraging word over. She and her wonderful husband, Carl, know that God still does miracles because they both are recipients of such. Gloria is a native New Mexican but has fallen in love with Texas living. She often says that God may have re-routed their plans for ministry so that Gloria would not have to tame down her Texas-sized hair any more. To learn more about Gloria, visit her bio page on the Trinity website.

Deanna Duncan and her husband Cris met on the Edge high school retreat 17 years ago. Riding together on the Shockwave, they knew God had some great adventures planned. Those adventures included having their daughter, Elizabeth, being active in and facilitating Life Groups, speaking around the country, passionately growing in the Lord and learning how to share an office together. The last one might be the greatest adventure as it truly requires them to live out their marriage verses–Col 3:12-17. A trained educator, Deanna has a passion for helping others embrace the fullness of a life in God.
