Our Team

  Scott has been a regular attender of the different Odyssey of the Ark events for several years and joined the team in 2017. He grew up on the mission field with his parents and traveled to India on a mission trip in early 2017. He works as a film archivist in the University Libraries division of University of South Carolina. He serves on the ministry team at International Family Church in Columbia, SC. He is also involved with His Way Inn, a local Foursquare house church.

One of his hobbies in his spare time is photography and he is always up for going on a treasure hunt. 

 Christina is a graduate of Spring Valley High School in Columbia, SC and South Carolina School of Leadership (SCSL). While a student at SCSL, she first participated in prophetic art workshops and Treasure Hunt Outreach 

led by Brenda Dukes. 

Following her 2015 SCSL graduation, Christina attended several Prophetic Training thru ART Workshops and Kingdom of Heaven Conferences before recently joined the 

Odyssey of the ARK ministry team. 

Christina and her husband, George have been married for 5 years and 

have 3 fur-babies:

 a tabby cat and two German shepherds. 

One of her passions is to help survivors of human trafficking in hopes to support the efforts in rescuing and healing these survivors. 

Something Christina wants to encourage in others is to always have “Godfidence”, which is not confidence in you and your abilities alone, but most importantly in God and His abilities. 

She is currently working to become an accredited life coach.

 Born and raised in a small town in Western New York, Brian was set up on a blind date with Tessa, who was born and raised in the wine country of Northern California. After getting married in 2016, God directed them to move to South Carolina in December of 2020. They both also have fulltime jobs. They also have a son and daughter and a small flock of laying hens that keep them busy but blessed.  

Family worship sessions, time in the outdoors, and going out to Mexican food are regular occurrences in the Matuszak household. Both Brian and Tessa desire to see the lost found, the broken healed, and the helpless delivered just as they were by the Lord Jesus Christ.

One of her talents is playing the violin. 

 Cariana has been serving on our team along with her mom, Caroline and sister Jaylinn for several years. 

 Cariana is a college student who enjoys reading and doing anything creative. She enjoys spending time with her family and friends whenever she can. 

Her favorite piano composer is Brian Crain, but she listens to newer Christian artists as well. 

She loves to relax and watch movies at the end of a day of hard work.  

Caroline and her husband Jonathon reside in Columbia/Lexington, SC area and attend Ebenezer Pentecostal Holiness Church in South Congaree. Their daughters, Jaylinn and Cariana have served alongside Caroline on Odyssey of the ARK ministry team for several years.

 One of her favorite verses is

" But the person who is joined to the Lord

 is one spirit with Him."

1 Corinthians 6:17
