Meet the Team: Introducing William Van Devender

After moving to Atlanta 3 years ago, I started becoming involved in FBA and ultimately ended up joining the church close to 2 years ago. Since joining, I've been drawn closer to the Lord and have felt compelled to spend more time living my life for Him. However, my job as a financial analyst significantly constrained my available time outside of work and didn't allow me to really fulfill my goal of spending more time living my life for the Lord. As a result, I recently decided to leave the financial world behind and to attend graduate school this Fall to allow me to pursue a career in a more flexible industry: forestry. I am very excited to be able to go on this trip and to have the time to be able to devote to the Lord and to serving others. While I don't have any specific expertise in construction, I have been put to good use as a "grunt" laborer in previous mission trips to Trinidad and Haiti. I also trust that the Lord will use me on this trip for a specific purpose, whatever that may be. Please pray for our entire team and for a successful trip in terms of physical construction progress as well as spiritual progress within the people of the North Pole area.
