Now, to introduce you to the awesome Team Wrecking Ball. We chose that name because one of the worship songs that deeply impacted all of us, which had the phrase let Heaven fall like a wrecking ball. This statement is our hope and promise. We believe that with God’s power and with a united team, that Heaven will indeed fall and the promise of faith, hope, and love will be spread to dark and hurting nations. Our team’s desire is to be a light and also a force as we give God glory and let the Holy Spirit move through us in a mighty and powerful way.
Our brave and fearless leader is the wonderful Miss Brittani Dunlap (aka BAD or Team Mom). I know we will have a fun and awesome friendship and that we can come to each other with anything. I’m absolutely honored to be a part of her team. Next, the lovely and intellectual Hannah Bashor (aka the Awkward Hugger). I look forward to her pushing me intellectually and also in truth as she pours into me. Next we have the dynamic duo of the entertaining Team Waka Waka, Carrie Hokanson and Sarah Knapp. Carrie (aka Granola) is a joy to be around and just the kind of girl that is never awkward, but just makes your heart smile every time you’re around her. Sarah (aka silent but DEADLY) is a silly and sweet girl who just loves to dance and have fun, yet at the same time I know that if I cross the line then she will not hesitate to stand up to me and correct me in love, and for that I thank you ahead of time. Last, but certainly not least, Big Mike (aka the plastic bagger) is the type of guy who will bring some comic relief to our team. While that will certainly be my job first, Big Mike has and will hopefully find a way to turn a stressful situation into a joke we can all laugh at.

This is my team for the next year, but more importantly this is my family. These are my brothers and sisters in Christ, in whom I know have my back. I believe in each and every individual on my squad and feel truly honored to be a part of this unit. Today, we ministered to the ATL area for around 3 hours, and before today I thought that 1 country per month for 11 months was not enough time to establish an effective ministry. After hearing the awesome stories from just a short snapshot of today, I believe that the nations will tremble and that we can truly make a lasting impact with what our squad is about to do. Each person is here because there is an unquenchable thirst in their souls that longs to reach out and spread God’s glory, even amongst the darkest of places.
To my teammates, I love you guys and believe in each of you with all my heart. Please pray for me as I yearn to be a man of Christ in your lives in a way you have never experienced. God bless each of you and I pray for the Holy Spirit to fill us on this amazing journey!
