Before I can conclude my Turkey experiences I cannot forget to share the team I was blessed with for 4 months. Please meet stckd!

Sarah Dodd



Role: Team Lead (Previously a Beauty for Ashes Coordinator)

Sarah’s love language is hospitality and baking and boy is she good at it. Sarah is the cultivator of space to unite, she has so many games and apps to share with us for a fun time or a good laugh. Sarah grew up in Taiwan and so she has a gifting of cross cultural relevance and communication which has been awesome to learn from. 

Cheeka Vang



Role: Treasurer

Cheeka, my fellow wrinkle on this team! Cheeka has a heart for beauty and simplicity especially in flowers and plants along our walks. She is loved by all passionately and people light up at the opportunity to get to be in her presence. She brings patience and diligence in sharing Jesus with people and its so fun to watch. 

Joana Quintana



Role: Beauty for Ashes Coordinator (Previously a Treasurer)

My mik, my arkadas, mi amiga, my friend. Joana is my ride or die from the beginning of the race. God truly blessed me with her being on my first 2 teams. Joana has grown in her self value and her boldness for the Lord. She is always the first to say hello to people and to whip out google translate to make connections. She sees people well and loves fully. 

Alyssa Phillips



Role: Logistics

Alyssa is a calm and steady presence. She values timeliness and efficiency and keeps us going. She is a natural leader and trustworthy to lead a charge no matter where we are headed. She is able to see needs and take initiative to make sure all are seen and heard. She loves with kindness and sacrifice and her full heart.

Trisa Moser



Role: Adventure Seeker (Previously a Team Lead)

Tris is the most genuine person I know. She is unapologetically herself and thank God because she is a friend and sister who pursues with intention and is curious and loving with every interaction. She loves adventure and pushes us to find the freedom and fun in this world that Jesus created! 

Amy Scott



Role: Logistics

I’m the momma bear on this team too! Always cleaning, thinking ahead and preparing us so we can be useful in the Kingdom. I love to create an environment of safety to flush (or flesh as my team has taught me) out thoughts, feelings, or emotions. I have loved getting to know each person on this team and seeing their individual unique beauty in Christ!



When leaving the park after the reveal of our team one of us said “man, this team is STACKED!” And that’s it, it stuck! The first sense of stacked was the fact we have a lot of people in multiple roles, for example, the 2 logistics team members, 2 treasurers, 2 beauty for ashes, and 2 team leads if we include our previous teams roles. And so we recognized right away that we are stacked with talents to invest in the kingdom of God, to multiply for Him.

Then after much thought we agreed upon saving the name but more for the fact that we are stacked stones for the Kingdom of God. We are here to remember what God has done in our lives and share these stories to invite others into the Kingdom with us! In the Bible, in Joshua, they stacked stones as a reminder of how God made way for them to cross the Jordan River on dry land. So we have stacked stones in most places as a remembrance of our time there. We want to remember what God has done for our team and all the places, people, and things He has orchestrated for us.



When leadership gave us the team assignments they also gave us words that the Lord had given to them about us. We received the following list: simmer, settle, preparing and waiting for where the Lord is calling you to, good stewards, multiply the Kingdom of God. And with that spoken over you how can you not know you are STACKED!!!!

 

Our Mission Statement:

We are stacked stones, a living sacrifice for the Lord, preparing for the Kingdom by fostering a fear of the Lord with remembrance within our selves and inviting others to stand on holy ground with us, willing to get the Kingdom stacked.



Joshua 4:19-22
On the tenth day of the first month the people went up from the Jordan and camped at Gilgal on the eastern border of Jericho. And Joshua set up at Gilgal the twelve stones they had taken out of the Jordan. He said to the Israelites, “In the future when your descendants ask their parents, ‘What do these stones mean?’ tell them, ‘Israel crossed the Jordan on dry ground.’
