I believe in the mission/vision of the organization to serve those in need, seeking to relieve physical and spiritual suffering in a way that is compassionate, competent, and Christ-centered. I have seen the work firsthand and have seen the amazing work that the people of Central African Republic (CAR) are capable of doing with the right training, resources and support. I have traveled to CAR a couple of times to see the impact of the Three Strands’ investment there and feel that I can best serve the mission of Three Strands by 1) praying for and encouraging the leadership of Three Strands and our partners in CAR and Haiti, 2) providing advisory support and help in vision-casting for the future of Three Strands, 3) messaging the work of Three Strands in hope of expanding our support network and our impact in the world for Christ.

I am so appreciative for the investment that Mike & Myra have made in my life and the lives of my wife and children. They have cared for us, prayed for us, encouraged us, and given me an amazing and unique opportunity to be a part of the Three Strands’ mission. I hope I can continue to give back in a way that helps to advance this mission, encourage our partners around the world, and connect my family to the work that Christ is doing in CAR and Haiti.
