About the Founder

The Saranese Culture, Inc. (TSC) was founded by Sarah Brickman in 2003. When Sarah was young, people told her she lived in her own little world and just like the Chinese and the Japanese she could have her own culture called The Saranese.

Sarah gave her life to Jesus Christ at the age of 14 and on a mission trip to India the following year knew that her future would consist of 1 – living overseas, 2 – helping the less fortunate and 3 – serving God. Over the next six years Sarah traveled first as a missionary and then in subsequent leadership positions on mission trips to Costa Rica, Russia and Botswana with Teen Mania’s Global Expeditions while also traveling overseas in other capacities to Norway, Holland, and England. The travel bug had bit her and there was no going back!

Express Bio

As of January 2012 Sarah has traveled to 55 nations around the globe, serving as a full time missionary of God overseas since 2003.

She has impacted thousands of lives through teaching, preaching, training, coaching, mentoring and discipling people from various age groups and nations! It is her desire to continue serving the Lord wherever He takes her, with a goal of reaching 100 nations with the message of God’s love!
