Graduating Seniors Feature! Class of '19

Ramey Turner

       1. What brought you to Global Cafe for the first time?
              I came to Global Cafe because I've always been very interested in
               missions and the student center seemed like a safe place to learn
               and worship.
       2. What is your favorite coffee you've had at Global Cafe?
               My favorite coffee is anything from South America!
       3. What has been your favorite Global Cafe?
               The Romdenhs! I don't know when they were here but it was
               before they had left for Cambodia. Their story really impacted me
               and my fiance and we have stayed in touch with them and support them now. Such a great family.
       4. Favorite memory of James? :)
               Balls 'n' taters
       5. How 'bout a favorite food/meal by the "Boss"?
               ​Shepherd's Pie!!!
       6. Finally, what is your spirit animal?
               I've been told my spirit animal is a golden retriever. I am definitely not a dog person, and there are only
               two dogs I've ever truly loved. One of them was a golden retriever, so I'll go with it 🙂

       1. What brought you to Global Cafe for the first time?
            The atmosphere and coffee. This was a safe space for people to
              hear about what God was doing around the world and enter into
              a conversation about what it means to build the kingdom.
       2. What is your favorite coffee you've had at Global Cafe?
               Dark Brazilian and Kenyan!
       3. What has been your favorite Global Cafe?
               Not sure— I enjoyed the missionaries from Kenya or South America
       4. Favorite memory of James? :)
               All of them! No, my favorite memory would be any time I scared him. So hiding under his desk, popping
              out around the corner screaming, or hiding under the staircase. Those moments were very authentic and
              meaningful. In all seriousness, I think our 2pm coffee dates would be the most meaningful. He has been a
              true mentor and friend that has helped me through some tough times and reminded me how to stay
              expectant and trust in Jesus.  
       5. How 'bout a favorite food/meal by the "Boss"?
               ​CHICKEN POT PIE
       6. Finally, what is your spirit animal?
            Dog/Wolf

       1. What brought you to Global Cafe for the first time?
             I knew that my older sister enjoyed her time at Global Cafe while
              she was a student. Jessie Denning had invited me numerous times
              freshman, and I kind of wanted to go. But I was always like, ah,
              maybe next week! Then I had two more people on top of Jessie
              inviting me at the very beginning of sophomore year. I finally
              went, and I never looked back! 
       2. What is your favorite coffee you've had at Global Cafe?
               Does the mint hot chocolate count? 
       3. What has been your favorite Global Cafe?
               I'm not sure that I could pick a favorite Global Cafe; there have
               been so many that have impacted and influenced me.
       4. Favorite memory of James? :)
               Disney Princesses!
       5. How 'bout a favorite food/meal by the "Boss"?
               ​There have been so many amazing meals,  but those chicken cheese tacos on rice
             were so good!
       6. Finally, what is your spirit animal?
                People always ask this question, and I still have no idea. I wanted to try to figure out something clever to
                say for why my spirit animal is ______. But I got nothing. Apparently my patronus is a wood mouse
                though, which is interesting. They're so small, and you wouldn't expect much from them. However,
                when they can, they think through strategies before tackling something in their lives. For me, that
                makes sense. I try to think through and plan everything in my control, which is both a strength and a
                weakness.
