And of course, last in the team of adult leaders but certainly not least, is my wife Deanna. A consummate behind-the-scenes servant, D is hugely strong in responsibility and belief. Her belief is that this team is going to make a profound difference in the level of encouragement, blessing and fun that the staff of CA is going to have because of our involvement. She also believes that joyful, well-adjusted and well-bonded teams are much more effective on the field. And of course, she believes that Jesus came to make us different people. The long term translation is an indirect impact to the spiritual climate of Europe. For CA teams, that means that if they trust the kids program, they can concentrate on the work of leadership development, cultural engagement and growing high impact teams. For SPACE, it means D does all she can to prepare teams, ranging from food prep to artistic posters to manic coverage schedules in Excel. When a task needs to get done, she feels an emotional attachment to completing them. And they get completed.
Leading a team that your family is on isn't trivial – it requires sensitivity, balance and boundaries. Deanna is the perfect compliment as we engage our kids for the future, knowing that this experience marks them for a lifetime.
