 Bio:
I became a believer in June 1995 at the age of 12. I was at a Go Tell camp wiht my youthgroup. God became so real to me and I realized that I desired to know him more and to begin a real relationship with him. He has been working in incredible ways in my life since then.
I have felt a calling to missions for a few years now. I was able to serve for a brief time in China in 2005 and my calling became more clear through this experience. I believe that we are called to go out and to preach the gospel and to share Christ with the lost throughout all of the world. This is the heart of my desire to go.
Dates:
I will find out where I will serve in August, train from Oct to Dec and then leave in Jan 2008 until Jan 2010.

Vision
 Our vision is to evangelize and make disciples of those who live in the nearly inaccessible darkness of the Amazon jungle and high mountain regions of Bolivia and Peru. We engage multiple groups, but mostly groups with only a few hundred population, and we focus on groups where there has been little or no previous work. Most have already been contacted, but some still live as nomadic peoples who have no knowledge of God or his Word.
We do not build churches or pay pastors. We don't plant churches as you would see them in the States. We don't translate hymns or our favorite choruses. We do not do social work or relief aid as a general rule.
We do share the Word of God in their language in ways that they can understand and memorize. Our goal is to see a New Testament church planted that relies on the Word for its practices, a church that will reproduce itself and exist long after we have gone back home.
We place emphasis on the Word of God, prayer, reproducible or simple missions methodologies, and obedience-based discipleship.
Our second goal as a team is to help raise up and mobilize a corps of South American missionaries who will not only work along side us in Peru but will build their own missions teams to engage the lost in South America and around the world.
Mission
Our mission as a team is to glorify God through obedience to the Lord's call, and through calling others to obedience to Him. We will be equipped and led with other Latin American and North American missionaries to go to the most extreme areas of the continent, reaching people who have yet to hear the story of Jesus Christ. We will do whatever it takes to give those souls an opportunity to accept that Gospel through a clear and accurate witness, most hearing the name of Jesus for the first time from our lips. We will take the hope of salvation to the people who for centuries have lived without Christ, in fear and hopelessness. We will make disciples who will become and expand the Body of Christ. These churches will then work together to see other peoples become disciples. We hope to plant autonomous reproductive churches in these villages and tribes. To God be the glory!
Strategy
The Xtreme Team is divided into several different teams, each with their own Strategy Coordinator as well as their own strategy. The Xtreme Coordinator has the responsibility of seeing that all of the teams' strategies are based on the overall purpose and plan for the entire team.
The Strategy Coordinators have the responsibility of planning the strategy, leading the men and women of their team, and gathering all needed resources to see the people group come to Christ. While each team operates separately, there is much overlap in purpose, and many ways in which one team compliments the others.
