OUR TEAM
Vincent Rosini
Founder & President
Dr. Rosini’s first visit to a third world country was to Nicaragua in the summer of 1991. Soon after, he became the Missions Director of Spring Branch Community Church and began leading short-term teams to Nicaragua and Ukraine.
According to Dr. Rosini “The first-hand contact with the children and orphanage staff I met changed the trajectory of my life and work. The suffering that some endure defies description. At times I can become overwhelmed by the needs of the global poor. I began Frontier Horizon in 2001 to expand my capacity to serve vulnerable populations. Frontier Horizon’s mission is to bridge the gap between vulnerable people and those in a position to help. Through our hosting program we make it possible for disadvantage children to come to the US and Canada. These experiences open a world of opportunity for the kids we serve. Our International Impact Trips have proven to be deeply transformative. These close encounters with impoverished and vulnerable children reorient the mindset of North Americans towards the needs of the poor. We supply food, clothing, medical care, and educational support for those in need. Alleviating some of the suffering endured by the poor is the hope and dream behind Frontier Horizon.”
Frontier Horizon is founded on the basic Judeo-Christian tenets of love and compassion. We take seriously the apostle Paul’s admonishment that the only thing that really matters is “faith expressing itself through love” (Galatians 5:6). Our paramount goal is to imitate Christ’s unconditional love towards others and show how actions speak louder than words ever could.
Aby Morales
International Representative
I am a proud Nicaraguan, and the older sister of 3 siblings. We live with our mom in Managua where the weather is super-hot. We enjoy spending time together. Family is very important to us. We grew up in a very poor community, the same community that some of the kids of the Frontier Horizon program live. My parents were pastors of the church that Frontier Horizon works with. Life has certainly had its challenges but God has been good. Through it all my siblings and I have grown to be responsible adults who work hard to support our family. We are also deeply committed to generosity, giving of what we have to those around us that are in such desperate need. Today, my family and I have the privilege of using the opportunities that God has afforded us through Frontier Horizon to serve others in our community.
Life has taught me to be grateful. I strive each day to be an agent of kindness, generosity, and compassion. I feel blessed each day to be part of Frontier Horizon´s team. I know that I am making a difference in the country that I love so much. People have invested in me and now I get to invest in others. I truly believe that I am part of God’s plan to be an agent of change.
What I like about working at Frontier Horizon
What I like the most is the teamwork. The team values my opinion, and as the youngest team member, they have been faithful to guide me in my journey to realize my full potential. Dr. Rosini believed in me when I was just 17 years old. He motivated me to learn English, of which I am now fluent. Today I am a vital part of Frontier Horizon efforts to serve vulnerable children in Nicaragua.
Susan Shukstor
Hosting Coordinator
Hi, I’m Sue and I recently retired from the State of Tennessee, Dept of Revenue, as a Tax Auditor Supervisor. I’m fortunate enough to be involved in my true passion…helping with orphan hosting. Being able to work with the amazing team at Frontier Horizon is truly an honor, and I hope to be of great service to everyone in the program.
I’m a single mom of 4 adult sons, and I have 3 beautiful grandchildren under the age of 5. I spend half of my time in New York with the youngest, and the other half in Chicago with the two older grandkids. I have also hosted over 24 Ukrainian orphans every summer and winter since 2012…some more than once. I was fortunate to host a beautiful young girl from Colombia in 2011. I have also been fortunate to foster over 30 amazing children in my Illinois home over the last few years. Most of them were teenagers…my absolute favorite. Teenagers are amazing! Outside of my family and friends, my personal interests revolve around travel, adventure, sports and animals.
