Whale Team Six is an elite squad of highly motivated Jesus followers on mission to intensely love all the nations and bring the lost into the Kingdom fold. They are bold in the face of the enemy and are quick to give their best yes wherever they are summoned to go.
Whale Team Six is bout dat action.
Whale Team Six is bold., They are warriors ready to jump in, in prayer or help in any problem or need. When we encounter demon possessed people they weren’t afraid to pray and battle. My team wasn’t afraid to evangelize and talk to people. Peoples lives changed, some reconciled, others came to the Lord, others healed, others found freedom, some people changed their perspective because of the boldness of Whale Team Six. So my team is bold. We are warriors of the Lord.
Whale Team Six is my family. At first, we seemed like an odd assortment of people with many different backgrounds, interests, and life experiences, but God saw how well our unique gifting could work together in ministry and ATL. Our team has a love for the Lord, a hunger to walk as people set apart in holiness, and with a heart to walk out the love of Christ wherever we go. My team is generous, loving, selfless, compassionate, grounded on truth, and interruptible. On a personal note, my team has loved me so well through really difficult moments, and the Lord has used them in so many ways to help me see and experience what good biblical community looks like.
Whale Team Six is a team that strives to be vulnerable, understanding, and discerning of how to better love people.
