Naomi Wagner, Financial Administrator
Naomi joined the New Wineskins staff as an intern with the Greensboro Fellows Program in 2021 and became full time with us after completing the program in 2022. She has always felt drawn to cross-cultural missions, especially after having spent time living in Germany and volunteering with Christian missions there. Her passion for cross-cultural conversations and learning more about other cultures followed her into her studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she recently graduated with a major in English and Comparative Literature and a minor in German. Naomi’s desire is to cultivate a deeper relationship with Christ and to help others do so as well. She is excited to be a part of the upcoming global missions conference in 2025 with its focus on cross-cultural missions.
