Introducing…F-SQUAD, and Team Tzadik 58!

At training camp, we finally met face to face! This is us, F-SQUAD.  This group of about 55 people will be traveling together from country to country over the next eleven months. 

Within our squad, we are broken down into “Teams” of about 6 to 7 people.  The teams are who you do every day life and serve with on the field.  For example, pretend a SQUAD of 55 people came to Florida.  Then each Team went to a different location in Florida.  One team went to Miami, another to Ft. Lauderdale, another to Lake Worth, West Palm Beach, etc.
 
This is our Team!

Tyler Vessels, Bekka Adams, Michael Clevenger, Alison Hill, Emilee Taylor, Christina and Derek Simke.
 
Once again, this group of people is a beautiful reminder to me of how God meets ALL our needs.

 Tyler has been a teacher for four years.

 Alison and Emilee just completed their student teaching and graduated.

Bekka is a runner and loves to work out.  Our whole team is going to be in the best shape of our lives as we rock out on INSANITY!

 Michael has been living in an intentional community and is a musician.

I couldn’t have picked a better team for Derek and I, so I am thankful the Lord did the picking for us!

Our Team name is Tzadik 58!

Tzadik/Zadik/Sadiq (Hebrew: צ�"×™×§‎ "righteous one",  is a title given to personalities in Jewish tradition considered righteous, such as Biblical figures and later spiritual masters. The root of the word á¹£adiq, is á¹£-d-q ( Tzedek), which means "justice" or "righteousness.”

Tzadik is the literal acting out of Isaiah 58, which is where the number 58 comes in.  Our team prays that we might work together and flesh out Tzadik over the next 11 months!
