Team Victory







Team Victory


Thank you for all you continue to do for me down here in the Dominican Republic. Thank you for all of your prayers and your emails and encouragement.  I love receiving email and your encouragement. 

I want to share something with you that is close to my heart.  One of my favorite professors from Taylor, Dr. Quinn White, has started a ministry that involves something that he is very passionate about.  Dr. Quinn was one of the most influential people in my life.  His heart for God was evident through everything he was teaching and he taught me so much about teaching and the Lord.  He instilled a passion for teaching and reading in my heart that makes me want to continue to be "like Dr. Quinn" in my teaching.

 Another passion of his is running.  He loves to run,  loves to coach running, and loves to instill the passion for running in his own children.  Unfortunately, he didn't instill that passion in me! :) :)   With that said, he has started a mission called Team Victory.

Team Victory is a Christian ministry that spreads the Gospel all over the world through running and other athletics. Each child participant receives a new pair of shoes, a Bible in their language, and a Team Victory t-shirt. 

Dr. Quinn has begun this ministry here in the Dominican Republic during Spring Break when he leads a team from Taylor, coaching a running camp, hosting a local race, and most importantly handing out a Bible and sharing the gospel with children who most likely may not hear it anywhere else. 

Dr. Quinn has a vision to continue this ministry throughout the world.  He is going to be traveling to Guatemala soon (Feb. 20th) to establish a connection with a ministry there that he can work through.   He will then be traveling to the Dominican REpublic over Spring Break, bringing another team.  Then in June he will be going back to Guatemala, leading a team, traveling and handing out shoes, a Bible and a t-shirt and most importantly, sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with those who may never hear it.
 
Right now he has 400 pairs of shoes and money for about 100 Bibles for the Dominican Republic.

Please consider financially supporting Dr. Quinn and Team Victory.  Obviously this is dear to my heart and would love if you would consider supporting this amazing ministry.   It is a non-profit ministry under Taylor University, so anyone who donates will get a receipt.
