I wrote this on 7/10/11 in the Nashville airport shortly after leaving training camp:
Quick random facts about the B-Squad and Team Ignite:
We have sing-a-longs and random dance-offs pretty much everywhere we go.
We always bring a Jesus Party and we bring it well.
We have an awesome dynamic of ppl in our group.
B squad, Best Squad, Bomb Squad, Boom Squad RULES and we were all brought together for a reason. Our leaders, trainers, and other aim staff have such a heart for people and the ministries they serve. They poured into us and we often poured into each other in more ways than anyone could have even realized at the time. We had so many crazy-awesome "God moments" this week and especially yesterday during a team bonding challenge. It was absolutely incredible! (The Holy Spirit was def at work and showed up in more ways than I could've ever guessed)
I have an AMAZING team that brings such a needed diversity on this upcoming 11 month pilgrimage that we're about to embark on. I couldn't be more thankful for them! We're blessed to have a humble leader in Ryan, a super encouraging brother in Brian, a contagious fun-filled joy that bursts from Erica (aka: 'Merica), a huge servant's heart in Kearston, and an awesome sweet spirit in Vivian. Regardless of the good, bad, happy, sad, easy, hard, crazy times we have this year, we'll get thru it not only as a team but as a family… because that's exactly what we are now! We're "Ryan & The Buh-bees" aka: Team Ignite and we're comin' for ya world! I can't wait to see what's all ahead for each of us this coming year!
