PLNU ALUMNI Making a Difference in Brazil

Date: 
Wednesday, August 3, 2011

PLNU Alum (2008) Mark Philibosian just returned from a mission trip to Brazil where he was able to work with children of the Hope Unlimited orphanage. While holding camp for over 85 children, ages 7-17, he describes his time spent there as a life changing experience. After living on beans and bread and experiencing the Brazilian culture, Mark feels he has been truly blessed with the opportunity to travel abroad.  Mark gave us a little advice saying “I hope that I provide a little inspiration for anyone reading this to take advantage of every opportunity to experience an international missions trip, particularly to a third world country.” On behalf of the FBEI, we wish Mark all the best in his work and future travels.

He is currently living in Princeton, NJ and working as a Portfolio Specialist (Trader in the Separately Managed Accounts Department) for BlackRock.

Keep up the fantastic work Mark!
