In the summer of '79 Cindy went to a summer camp hosted by Florida College and came home having decided she’d attend the college the following year after high school graduation to find a preacher to marry. But then she met a man named Mark Dunagan who cold-turkied his vices on their first date, was baptized a few weeks later and immediately began studying to become a preacher of the gospel. They were married four months after they met during Christmas break of Cindy’s senior year of high school, then spent the next 43 years raising three children and teaching and preaching for two congregations in the Northwest, until July of 2020 when they tossed their big white cat in their big black class B van and set out on a quest to visit and encourage 100 conservative churches of Christ around the country. As they traveled, they shared God’s truths with the souls we met, gave away copies of Cindy's book Your Fresh Start at every opportunity, gathered Biblically sound, inspiring ideas for growing the Kingdom of Heaven then shared those ideas within the stories of their travels on their blog NomadsYouAndi.com --- stories that are on track to soon be published in a book called 100 Churches later this summer.

Florida College invited Cindy to come share some of the inspiring highlights of their journey for the women attending the 2023 Florida College Lecture Series entitled "A Life Worthy of The Gospel". Cindy's lecture was entitled "Together Building God's Most Luminous Temple: A Nomad's Encouraging Observations After Visiting 100 churches of Christ", and that video is viewable here: https://youtu.be/3DfHvux7GFA
