It all began when her father and mother met a special international friend at a store in Omaha, Nebraska. The visiting international and her parents became fast friends as God seemed to knit their hearts together. From that time forward, their eyes began to open as more and more special friends from around the world began to make their way to United States, and some to Omaha Nebraska. They thought they could help welcome them. The truth is, meeting these friends has changed their lives forever for the better. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587fbfe0b3db2b428f721fd2/7406f196-4372-4d84-be36-57ff872058d2/Dean_Cindy.jpg Meet the Team - DEAN & CINDY LINDGREN Assistant Director of Personnel Dean and Cindy worked and lived in Turkey for the last 26 years. When asked why they’ve enjoyed living in Turkey, Dean always points to the warm, hospitable people and the great food. Tasting an Adana Kebab and salad made with fresh Turkish tomatoes and peppers always brings their taste buds alive. Cindy enjoyed learning to make local foods and pastries and seeing how the Turks do hospitality. Dean graduated from UNL with a degree in Agriculture and helped bring a new brand of seed to Turkey. He worked with a great multi-national team alongside several Turkish seed companies. Since Turks gave them such a warm welcome over the past 26 years, Dean and Cindy want to do the same for international students who are new in Omaha. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/587fbfe0b3db2b428f721fd2/1505500489327-QHX4IDQ7GNX538KVA2PC/Picture.png Meet the Team - NATHAN WILLIAMS Saturday Home Group Coordinator Nathan moved to Omaha, Nebraska in 2010 and has served with Global Friends since 2014.
