I was blessed to spend 3 months on the Race with my sweet little Cherubs. My precious fat baby angels. During this time our team incorporated; love, encouragement, caring for one another, safety and peace. I am sad this season is ending, but I am honored to get to share these angels with the rest of the world.
To Jessie’s future team…
Her birthday is October 12th. She wants to go Volcano Sledding in Nicaragua. She didn’t get to see elephants in Thailand so please make sure this happens!
Her favorite colors are olive green and aqua blue.
She loves lions and frogs (just not the weird cartoon versions of them).
She loves fruit (just not melons both the green or orange kind).
Get the girl some chocolate! She loves it all! Milk chocolate… Snickers… Reece’s Peanut Butter Cups.
She connects to God through worship and nature! She loves to experience Him through the mountains and the beaches. She loves a good adventure day taking in God’s Beauty and Wonder.
She is great at building ministry relationships!
Children’s Ministry restores her soul!
To Katie’s future team…
Her birthday is October 1st. She’s most likely already counting down the days and reminding you every morning! This simply means she really loves you.
To her future treasurer: Feed her, okay?! Make sure she has an adequate amounts of snacks on the regular.
Least favorite food in the whole world: Rice! (Seriously, she won’t eat it!)
Favorite food: Chocolate! Chocolate! Chocolate! Chocolate! Chocolate! (She’s not a huge fan of dark chocolate though)
Favorite beverage: Pepsi
Please indulge her love of/obsession with tv shows and pop stars including but not limited to; Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Thomas Rhett… and his wife… and their new little adopted baby, Grey’s Anatomy, Dance Moms and The Bachelor.
She connects to God through music! She prefers to live out ministry through having conversations and building relationships. She enjoys children’s ministry and loving on God’s Children.
She is full of knowledge, wisdom and insight. She chooses her words wisely, so when she talks… listen up. You won’t want to miss what she has to say!
To Becky’s future team…
Her birthday is July 2nd. This is significant because as her team member you are to remember her birthday in years to come! Becky loves celebrating birthdays because she loves showering others with gifts and love! She will never miss your birthday, so please never forget hers!
Her favorite food: Sushi
Her favorite animal: the elephant
Her favorite color: blue
She loves pineapple… the food and the trend where it is on EVERYTHING!
If she’s stressed bring her chocolate; milk or dark will do.
She also loves smoothies, anything with Matcha, coffee drinks (this includes anything from iced black coffee to fancy sweet drinks), popcorn and Dominos pizza after a long travel day.
She connects to God through worship and music. Her relationship with God has always been a constant in her life! She will love each of you and your host so incredibly well because she has experienced God’s love so deeply. Her favorite form of ministry is serving through intimacy. She’s great with children. From kindergarten to grade 12 there isn’t a child out there God doesn’t give her the ability to connect to.
Please, please, please indulge her love of: Depth effect photos, Sara Bareilles, This Is Us, The New Girl, Katie Anderson, God’s Magnolias, and most importantly her best friend in the whole wide world; Baileigh.
To Sierra’s future team:
This is the most selfless individual you will ever meet! I begin with this because even on her birthday (February 24th), she would rather give a gift than receive one.
Please give her plenty give her plenty of hugs and cuddles!
She loves back rubs and relaxing massages.
She loves running! It’s her favorite way to connect to the Lord.
She also enjoys parodies, dancing, singing Good Bye Earl at the top of her lungs and consuming copious amounts of Matcha when available.
She connects to God through hard circumstances and suffering, taking care of people and reading her Bible. She prefers teaching and preaching when it’s comes to Ministry. If you need a good “mic drop” sermon… “Shear-A” always has something deep and insightful up her sleeve.
Last but not least… the Lord has given her a wonderful treasure… he goes by the name of Chun Young Lee. I’m super jealous you get to walk with her daily during this next season. Their love story is amazing and will change the world!
To Emily’s future team:
AKA my current team!
Her birthday is October 14th. We be celebrating Costa Rican style!!!
She loves Jelly Babies!
Her number one love language is Coffee. Hot coffee, iced coffee, black coffee, milk coffee. Coffee is the way to her heart.
Now, we have to discuss a very important part of Emily’s life. Coming in close second to coffee is her love for God’s creatures, specifically, THE DOG! She loves dogs. They bring out all the feels. You will never see Emily happier than when she has a dog or two in her arms.
She loves dark chocolate, Peanut Butter Cups and fresh fruit smoothies.
If your doing a one-on-one, bible study, or just hanging out on a rest day take her to a coffee shop with lots of natural lighting! This is where you will experience her in her prime!
Something she may not tell you (but I will) she can sing… and I don’t mean kind of sing… I mean Sing!
She can also play the ukulele.
She prefers relational Ministry, drug rehabilitation Ministry and (of course) coffee shop ministry.
She connects to God through her art. Water coloring is her favorite way to express what God is speaking to her.
She loves succulents and being on time. I know these don’t specifically go together but are important to take note of.
To Mister Tim’s Future team:
Yes, we adopted him along the way.
We shared him after Myanmar.
It was hard, but we did it.
He loves candy, of all shapes and sizes!
In case you need specifics; gummy candies, all chocolate, literally ALL chocolate, snacks on snacks and an ice cold Coca-Cola.
Please write him little words of encouragement. Words of Affirmation is his number one love language.
… but he will be happy to receive Acts of Service and Quality Time.
He connects to God by listening to worship music. A good solo run with himself and the Father will fuel his soul. When available a nature hike will do as well!
When it comes to ministry, he is down for anything. He is incredible with children.
Take care of my sweet Cherubs!
Love you guys!
