Introducing Krista Roa, Agapé's New Director of Environmental Education
Agapé † Kure Beach Ministries is thrilled to introduce Krista Roa as the new Director of Environmental Education.
Krista has been an ACE Educator since 2018, and has thoroughly enjoyed sharing her love of nature with the schoolkids of the Triangle community.
Before moving to Raleigh in 2017, Krista was a Naturalist with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and an Educator at the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium. She first gained her love for teaching in college at Iowa State University where she earned her BS in Natural Resource Ecology and Management.
Krista is honored to serve as the ACE Ed Director and is looking forward to continuing the high standards of the ACE Ed program while meeting the changing needs of the Central NC communities.

Reach 100!
Help us bring 100 kids in need to a week of faith-based residential camp.
Through the "Reach 100" challenge, A†KB hopes to assist campers in financial need as well as provide each child with a positive and lasting impression of their value as a child of God.
Statistics show that resident summer camp experiences improve self-confidence, communication skills, problem solving, and help children learn how to play creatively with others. All of these things impact values and build better leaders in our community. It is our desire to be leaders in building a new hope for children in our community.
A gift of any size will help us provide for kids who need to spend time with a great Christian Role model in a safe environment.
Thanks to the Bob Barker Company, Inc for their endorsement and support of the REACH 100! program.
