Hello from Jordan! I am so excited to be writing this blog because I get to do life and ministry with some pretty cool people! We have made it to our fifth country, entered into our ninth month, and switched teams for the third time. We finished our time in Turkey and I said goodbye to team STCKD. Life with STCKD was so sweet and holds so many memories for me.
In this season of the World Race the Lord is showing me how to be on fire for Him and to show others the urgency in following Christ. I am so excited to be on this team for several reasons, but these people are ready for the Lord to move in miraculous ways and ready for whatever He is calling us into. So I am so excited to share about my new team…. TnT!!! TNT is a traveling team to teach the truth of the powerful name of Jesus Christ the Son of God, Savior of the world.
Kevin! Our team leader. He moves in tune with the Spirit and has eyes for people. It has been a privilege to be friends with Kevin throughout the last 8 months, and now we get to be on the same team! Kevin leads with flexibility and with humility. Our first time spent together as a team, Kevin made friends with street performers and showed us how to love people well. He brings fun to the team and I know the Lord will use Kevin in great ways, especially as the leader of our team!
Olivia! Our beloved treasurer. Liv is genuine and intentional. She is servant hearted and it is so exciting to be on her team because everyone loves Liv! She is an adventurer and brings so much laughter. She handles her role so well and the Lord has gifted her with a compassionate heart. She asks the best questions to dive deeper into intimacy. Liv is a light and feels like a little sister that is continually pushing to know people.
Elijah! He is wise and lowkey funny. Elijah loves trying new things and creating new memories. His relationship with the Lord is so beautiful to see and the way the Spirit speaks through Elijah is encouraging. The past week I have been honored to do ministry with Elijah and the way he sees people is amazing to experience. Elijah is quick to run to the Father and to point the team back to Him.
Abigail! She is encouraging and shines. She is always highlighting the beauty of the Lord. I am excited to be on a team with her because of the conversations I have been able to have with her beforehand. She is wise and hungry for the Lord. The calling that the Lord has put over her life has shined throughtout the World Race. She is open handed and ready for the Lord to move. Abigail loves well and encourages others to walk in the freedom of the Lord.
TnT stands several things. Together, Truth, The Name, Traveling n Truth, Together for Truth, Teaching n Truth, so many different combos. But that is what is so fun, is that our team is so diverse, but we all want to point everything back to the Lord. We are on fire and want to live in the truth. We want to be filled with the Spirit and not back down from bringing the Gospel!
Please be praying for my team to be used by God and for people to be set in front of us!
Blessings,
Joana Quintana
