We joined with Extreme Response in Jan 2011 as the Global Team Manager and Assistant in the Atlanta office, working to expand the short-term teams department so we can better serve our partners around the world. Although we live in Atlanta, we will be spending much of our time out of the country leading teams. God continues to use us to further His Kingdom, to encourage and lead many others to know Jesus Christ, and to help change lives among those living in extreme circumstances.

Table Mountain High
After yesterday we can tick (check) off Table Mountain as one of our biggest milestones. It took us 2 hrs and 15 min to go vertically 2500ft. There were 6 of us that decided to take on the challenge. 2 of them were 18 so they put the rest of us to shame. There were some people actually running up the mountain and I was doing all I could to put one foot in front of the other. We had a great time and really felt great when we finally reached the top. One of the most amazing things was how cold it was when we reached the top. We all brought jackets because we knew it was cold but I just didn’t realize it would be that cold. We decided earlier that we would ride the cable car down. As we fast approached the bottom of the cable car ride, it occurred to me that our car was about 1 ½ miles away. We all just laughed and said this is nothing it is flat we won’t have any trouble hiking this. I really thought we would be sore today but we are fine. We actually got out and walked again today.
