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.

Reunited with some friends from Fiji
A few months ago we learned that a couple of the leaders from our YWAM Crossroads Discipleship Training School (CDTS) in Fiji, were leading a team here to South Africa. We don’t normally plan for YWAM teams because there are so many teams coming here and they have transportation issues to get to our locations. However, we chose to help Jeff and Ann with their ministry because we wanted them to have an awesome experience working with Living Hope. They came as a soccer ministry but ended up only getting to play a few times due to rain. They spent the mornings at our homeless ministry, Living Grace, and afternoons at the children’s clubs. They had an amazing time and didn’t want to leave as they were just beginning to build relationships. This is true of all teams that come for 8 to 10 days, but hopefully they made some impact for the Kingdom in the short time they were here. It was great to see them and we got together Sunday evening, before leaving on Monday, and reminisced about old times. This part of the journey is where I see God’s hand in so many things. He uses each of us to accomplish His will. Had it not been for us going to Fiji and meeting them 3 years ago, they would not have had the experience they had here in South Africa. God is good!!!
