SEAL America -- Day 61



Teamwork: I'm especially proud of our Tulsa Team. When we launched SEAL America, two months ago, we didn't have an office. Having lived and worked overseas, for several years, we found it worked better for our minstry to outsource as much as possible: attorney, accountant, call and mail center, and so forth. Then the SEAL America assignment came from heaven, and we discovered we needed to ramp up.

I was on the road with SEAL America, so my wife, Loretta, opened our new headquarters in Tulsa. It took her only a few weeks to get the space, have it built out, furnished, and equipped with a computer network, office machines and a file storage system.

Daniel Rouse came abord to be our Campaign Director, and he has recruited several enthusiastic volunteers, such as Jeremy, Nathaniel and Lily (photo).

Seal America is a campaign, in the true sense of the word. We move forward constantly, the ground changes under us constantly, and unexpected opportunities and situations come our way from momen to moment. It takes a young, sharp team with a real sense of mission to handle this kind of cutting-edge ministry.

Likewise, we have cells of volunteers in different states: Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee, Nevada, California. Of course we use the internet to communicate, and we are learning new ways to use the Internet. You can be a volunteer. Just click on our website and go to the volunteer sign up page, or call 1-888-NEW-MOVE and say, "I want to volunteer."
