THE Team

I can hardly believe that the Rio team has been going strong since 2013.  The only years we missed were 2020-2021 due to the shutdowns.  I pray for this team throughout the year.  I pray for AHMEN.  My vision is that we will get back to where we were in the old days when the organization would send 12+ teams a year, no problem.  Much of the design of my team is to enable those passionate about Honduras to learn to lead their own teams.  That is precisely why I diligently recruit college students and professors with the capacity for long-term, renewing investment for the organization.

God's plans make mine tremble.  What grew instead was a team of friends new and old.  As I begin to tell the tales of AHMEN's Rio de Agua Viva 2025 team I must first introduce this all-star team cast by the Lord Almighty.

Patrick Whittington. Gardening Expert. Proficient in Communication.

David Hutzel. Finance Expert. Sensemaker.

James Iverson. Logistics Expert. Intercultural Broker.

Timothy Thompson. Multi-Faceted Artist. Living Historian.

Michael Franklin. Leadership Visionary. Change Agent.

THIS was the team.  What we were able to accomplish in four short days was nothing short of God's grace and our willingness to be along for the ride.  Join me as I detail each of our streams and how they united into the single river once again, the river of living water, Rio de Agua Viva.
