Ryan Thomas
spent over twenty years in the banking industry. In the midst of those years, he dreamed and discovered he wanted to do something more impactful with his life. This has weighed heavily on his heart because he often says, "as undeserving as I am, God has continued to show me grace and mercy."
Thankfully, we do not have to be perfect to serve a perfect God. It is through our actions; we will express our faith and love to a hurting world.
"Opportunities are limitless to those with a limitless imagination."

In my life I’ve faced many obstacles, but one constant is the Lords unwavering love! Being a part of 27Strong will give me a chance to share my love of art as a vehicle for youth to express themselves in ways to work through any mental health hurdle. I feel so blessed and excited for our youth to be heard and seen through conversation, paint and a canvas as their story is told creatively.

Alexis Thomas
is on the road to becoming a doctor. She has had this desire since
she was five years old and will be attending the program of naturopathic medicine
at Sonoran University of Health Sciences in Tempe, AZ. She desires now more
than ever to become not just any doctor, but God’s doctor, allowing him to use her
in whatever way he sees fit. She currently walks out this call on Instagram where
she cultivates ‘Prescribing.Prayer’. She lives life to the fullest
and believes that every moment, good or bad, should be celebrated as it serves as a
blessing or one of the greatest lessons that will develop and shape us to be more
like Christ. This attitude comes in handy working in event designing.
