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.

Christmas in Quito Ecuador
We arrived on Saturday evening and got to spend the day indoors on Sunday as the whole city of Quito was shut down for a census. It was a great time of fellowship with new friends and co-workers and some much needed rest from the week before. Monday we began preparing for the week and learning our new roles at Extreme Response. We will be “Shepherding” a team of 25 for the 10 days we are here and learning how they run their Team programs. Today we spent most of the day setting up one of the locations where we will be having one of the Christmas Parties and we have had our volunteers coming in from various places around the world to participate. Unfortunately, we have 15 Canadians stuck in Atlanta due to bad weather and they told them they couldn’t get them here until Friday. Please pray with us that they will find flights for them tomorrow as we have parties planned for over 3000 people/children before their new arrival date. They are not only coming to serve with the various parties but they are bringing a lot of the supplies that we need. We know that Satan doesn’t want us to deliver the message of Jesus to all these people, but we also know that Jesus has already conquered Satan and we must go on. We will be severely handicapped but will continue to persevere during our trials and sufferings. It is going to be an amazing week to see how the partnerships on the ground and ER work together to further the Kingdom. We are excited to be a part of this ministry. Please pray for safety and many people to accept Christ as their Lord and Saviour this week.
