MikelAnn Stoyanoff was born in Bremerton Washington and was raised in a Christian home with her sister, and best friend, Cindy Anderson.  Her family moved several times, but settled in Tucson for her high school years.  MikelAnn met her husband Jim at church and they were married here at El Camino in 1983.  They have two children and one son in law: Dena Siress, who married Jon, and Benjamin who attends the U of A.

MikelAnn works with the Good News Program on Wednesday’s during the school year at Schumacher Elementary.  It has been a delight for her to tell many non-churched children about Jesus.  She is finishing her first term as Deaconess and has enjoyed each years service and all the ladies she serves with.

2 Peter 2: 5-8 (NIV) "...make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ."
