Our Team

In one of the first planning meetings we had for this trip, Johnny and I discussed the type of leaders we needed on this trips. We ended up with a group of leaders who have far exceeded our expectations. They are doing a phenomenal job. Let me tell you a little about them.

• Carole Marzke - Team Mom - She brings a great parent perspective to our team. Students know that she is there to help them and they look up to her. She is cheering on our students as if they were her children.
• Dave Payumo - Parking Director - Dave has stepped up his game this year. He has a gift for building relationships and encouraging students. He keeps the laughter level high and models what it means to be passionate in serving Christ.
• Chris Infalt - Queen of Lunches - Chris knows details. She has this amazing ability to think of the tiniest area that needs attention. She pushes our students to look beyond the service and look for what God is doing in every situation.
• Isaac Tyson - Assistant Director of Security - Isaac is a solid leader. This is the second mission trip he has with our student ministry and he leads as if he has been doing it forever. He connects well with our students and challenges them to press on with all that they have.
• Tara Willis - Support Captain - It has been a little while since Tara has had the opportunity to come on a student ministry mission trip, but you would never know. She brings her camp and mission trip experiences to encourage our students. She is the one on the team who is right there at the right time when something that needs to be done.
• Jeremy Law - Director of Security - When Jeremy is on a mission, he means business. He speaks our students language. He is teaching our students to always do things to the best of their ability. He wraps valuable life lessons into everything we do. And leads the team that protects me from the ambush of water guns.

I've never been part of a team that works together like this one. We mesh together so well that we finish each others sentences. Our leaders are modeling what it means to follow Christ and serve as a team. Our students are picking up on that and starting to do the same. It is beautiful.

God is faithful. He is taking us to places we didn't think were possible on this trip.

TODAY IS GOING TO BE A GREAT DAY!!!!
