This incredible team!

by Linda Ranz | Sep 17, 2012
It’s worth noting something about this team!  I’ve been traveling for the last 7 days (2 to go) with a team of people who I knew a bit before this trip (some more than others).  April had been on a team trip with me in Haiti.  Maxine had been on a team trip to Oaxaca.  

This was the first MTI team trip for Ted and Daisy and Marsha.  As I mentioned earlier…they came from two states (OR and WA) and two countries (Australia and US).  As an MTI staff member, you do your best to try to put together a team that will fit together and be prepared for “whatever” might occur.  This team has been stellar.  They’ve been totally committed to our work and learning more about it.  They’ve sweated (a ton) together.  They’ve been in massive down pours together.  They’ve eaten and laughed together.  They’ve traveled many hours on rough roads that seemed like they would never end.   They’ve been constantly concerned about understanding further in order to “bear witness” to what they’ve seen.   

They have been just awesome…and I feel blessed to know them and to be on the team with them.
