Team Blog
Carter:
Carter is the big brother of our team because of his nurturing, kind, protective, and tender heart. His heart for the Lord and to know the Lord more deeply is encouraging to me. He is a positive contribution to this team for his intentionality with us and desire to create unity within our team. When Carter is in one of his goofy moods he tells really funny stories and can come out with some amazing dance moves. Carter is an amazing man of God and it’s a joy to have him as a part of Freedom Fighters.
Chelsea:
Chelsea is loving, kind and always intentional with the people around her. She always knows how to start a conversation and create good community and a save place where ypu feel heard. I love her desire to get to know everyone deeply. Even tough she always says that she is introverted she can be super loud. We all love her teacher voice. 🙂 Chelsea is also adventures, loves to have fun and is a great irish dancer. If you don‘t know what I‘m talking about, check her facebook and you will know. She is also kwon for her RJF (Resting Joy Face) which shows her joyful personality. We‘re thankful to have her on our team.
Lyle:
Lyle is one of our teammates. He is a very passionate guy and especially when it comes to Jesus. He loves to have theological conversations as well as sitting around and playing games and laughing. He thrives when he is in his natural habitat, that is doing anything outside and anything adventurous. He is very direct in the way he communicates which is nice for us, to help us grow as a team and individually. His obedience and devotion to the Lord is so very clear and ever growing. It encourages us to go deeper with the Lord everyday. He brings something special to this team that is very much needed, just like everyone of us is needed to make up this team. I am blessed that he is apart of this team, The Freedom Fighters.
Tiffany:
If I could describe her in a few words I would say gentle, compassionate, honest and forthcoming. She has been amazing since I first met her. We have talked one on one more than a few times and I am so impressed with her sensitivity to understand and listen to me and others. She is a safe place to come too. She hears from the lord in her own unique way, which is a testament to her that The lord entrusts her with that. I truly believe she cares about others as much as herself. She has experienced life from a different lenses and has a great perspective. Lastly she loves the Lord so much. It is written all over her face when she talks about Jesus. She calls Him her boyfriend. She is awesome.
Jonathan:
Jonathan is a man after God’s own heart. He loves mercy and sees the one lost sheep out of the ninety-nine. He has a desire to grow, is seeking truth, and wanting to know more of who God is. He also has a tendency to wander off. Leaving our team asking “Where is Jonathan?” and you can always catch him with bible, notebook, and a book. The man can dance and I’m prophetically speaking that in the coming months dancing in worship will be a norm for him and he will thrive. His humor is unmatched to anyone and we could charge admission for His one-liners. Thank you Lord for the chance to know your son. He reflects you so well.
Debora:
Debora goes by many names: Debora, of course, Debby, Debs, and Debster (the real one). Debora is our Swiss-German team leader for the Freedom Fighters and she’s freaking amazing! She’s been to 34 different countries and loves Phase 10 more than anyone. What she lacks in her love for weird American quirks she makes up in her love of the team. She intentionally pursues everyone and holds them to a higher standards, especially when it comes to being on time. You know she loves you when she shares her Swiss chocolate with you. She’s funny and fun to be around and our team is blessed to have her with us.
Our team has spent the last few weeks in Panama and it has been a joy to see Deborah in action. Literally in her element at YWAM, she has showed time and time again her ability to lead well by serving us well. Oh yeah if you didn’t know, she loves the Lord.
