It’s almost hard to believe, but the Z squad has month one under our belts! (As my FCC Tigers would say, the Philippines is officially check checked!) We will be spending the night in Manila with our whole squad before kicking off another round of travel days to our next location in a closed country.

Team H.O.P.E. with the kiddos we do ministry with!
**To protect our contacts and ministries we will not be blogging or emailing this month. PLEASE pray for boldness, protection, and favor over my Z family as we shine Christ’s light into the darkness!
Team H.O.P.E. will be paired with Team Rescued Identity during month two. My team has had an awesome month of figuring out who we are as a family out here on the island and I’m pumped to see how that continues in the coming month alongside another team. I’m also super excited to be working with my fellow team leader and friend Dusty Dills! He is a dear friend, an encourager and a man who desires to see more of Jesus and I know there are great things to come for our two teams.

It is a privilege and an honor to be working with the 5 other Jesus’ loving crazies that make up Team H.O.P.E. Let me tell you, our name has been prophetic – I believe that in this process of learning about each other and living in community we have begun to help one another pursue eternity and the things of Heaven. It is an incredible blessing to have a front row seat to what the Spirit is stirring in these five sons and daughters of the King!
Raquel serves our team by handling our finances (praise God! we all know how much I don’t like dealing with money). She is a woman who seeks truth and more of the Holy Spirit every day. She brings such a JOY to our team with her sweet heart, encouraging words, and sweeet dance moves!
Peter is a man of boldness in prayer and petition for the world. He fights for our families, our squad members, and the people of this world in a way that challenges and encourages me. He is also passionate about food and dives in fearlessly to new experiences!
Francis is a worshipper to the core. He has a knack for hearing words of life from the Lord and speaking those out into the team. I love the wit and intelligence he brings to our conversations.
Ann, oh Ann. She constantly keeps me laughing, especially in awkward moments and times of “well THIS is the World Race!”. Her joy radiates into every place she goes. She is a woman who speaks nuggets of truth in just the right moments and presses in to know and love people well.
Jessica, aka Fisch, has an eye for beauty and a gift for capturing it through her camera lens. She is a fellow cheerleader/ camp counselor and is always down for ridiculousness, Community and adventure.
Thank you for fighting for us in prayer! We feel the power of the support system we have back home in all of you. Please keep praying boldness, protection and favor over this family.
