This last debrief in Nairobi we reformed teams based on needs of the squad, new leaders, personalities, etc.
I want you to meet my new team…
(bawh-naw is Hebrew, meaning “to establish, rebuild, cause to continue…to restore”)

Laura Meyers

You may remember Laura from my previous team. She is now our team leader! She went to Asbury College and is from Ohio. She has so much quiet wisdom and strength. She can also read what you’re feeling and thinking like noone I’ve ever known. Check out some of her blogs,click here.

Cara was also on my previous team. She’s from San Diego, CA. I’m so happy to still be with her and get to know her even better. Cara has unbelievable joy and energy in every situation. She can smile in even bad times and I have so much to learn from her spiritual depth. Check out some of her blogs, click here.
Jeff Mitchell

Jeff was formerly part of Team Aletheia. He is a Physical Therapist from Lexington, KY. Jeff is very kind-hearted and laid-back. He’s also always so helpful. He will be a great strength to have around for our team. Check out some of his blogs, click here.
Angi Francesco

Vicki Skyvalidas

Vicki grew up in Missouri, but has a Greek heritage. She is so funny and gets super-passionate and excited about things she loves and is learning. Vicki is so fun to be around but she’s also not afraid to be honest and get to the hard stuff. I know I will learn so much from her these next few months. Check out some of her blogs, click here.
