Brother John was raised in the India mission field. He first met E. Stanley Jones at Sat Tal, while still in grade school, and was blessed to hear him talk several times while in high school. John attended many Christian ashrams while growing up, and while not fully understanding the experience, came to realize that experiencing the Kingdom in miniature was where he had glimpsed and felt the complete and full way of life. John has served as registrar for the Colorado Christian Ashram, the UCAI Board of Directors, and as interim treasurer for the UCAI. He now serves as a Regional Mission Coordinator and is one of The Four. John is married to Karen and lives in Estes Park, Colorado. They have five grown children, the youngest two adopted. A retired pilot, John is always reading one of Brother Stanley's books and considers him a mentor in his Christian journey. Favorite books include “The Way” and “The Word Became Flesh.”

Donna Bell Sanders first attended Redwood Christian Ashram when she was a teenager and was blessed to hear Brother Stanley many times. She has served UCAI in many capacities, including Co-Director of Redwood, Western Region Coordinator, and currently as a Mission Coordinator and a member of the Council of Directors. She says: “I’m grateful that my three children also had the experience of being a part of such a loving community of Christ followers. It has enriched our lives.”

Lisa provides day-to-day support for the UCA. She is the main staff person in the Central Office located in Ruston, LA. Since beginning her work with the Ashram in 2010, she has been a constant presence and resource person for both local Ashram leaders and those who attend. Lisa has attended multiple Ashrams in North Louisiana and Texas.
