For the past couple of years, many of you have known me as the Chief Operating Officer of ATP and Victor’s “right-hand man.”

I WANT TO SHARE THE STORY OF HOW VICTOR AND I MET.

I was at a friend’s house in Virginia discussing some sex-trafficking cases that I was just starting to explore. I was still on active duty, serving in U.S. Special Forces in the unit commonly referred to as Delta Force.

My friend needed to pause our discussion as he was about to get on a video call with Victor Marx from All Things Possible Ministries. I hadn’t heard of Victor yet, but he was polite enough to allow me to sit in on his meeting.

We compared notes and exchanged ideas about the counter-sex trafficking and counterpedophile projects we were working on.

It will come as no surprise to any of you that I liked Vic immediately. We both felt like God had something for us to collaborate on in the future. Little did we know that we would be led to where we are today — seven years later.

In 2017, Victor and ATP were invited to come to Iraq to help the country’s struggling women and children. ATP did many different things, one of them being the rescue and recovery of ISIS sex slaves in Iraq and Syria.

One of my projects in Syria overlapped with the work Victor and ATP were doing in the region. I remembered Victor and called him to ask if he could lend me some weapons, ammo, a hand grenade or two, and maybe a place to stay in Iraq for a night as I worked a few things out.

The first time I met Victor in person was in Iraq. He came out to greet me in the front yard of his safehouse, shook my hand and offered me anything he had that could help me in my mission to recover some girls. When we went inside, I met Victor’s wife, Eileen, who was caring for some orphaned children that sorely needed a motherly hug.

Needless to say I was impressed.

From that first meeting, we joined forces. I became a board member and advisor to ATP, and Victor became a board member for the group I was working with at the time.

After a few years went by, it became evident that we should partner in more substantive and persistent ways. In 2020, Victor and Eileen invited me to become the Chief Operating Officer of ATP.

As COO, I thought I was already working in my dream job, but then Victor and Eileen went a step further by offering me the role of President.

Now, I am truly in my dream job and humbled to be entrusted with taking ATP to the next level.

We are freeing up Victor and Eileen to focus on pure evangelism, and I will focus on building our team, so we can go further, wider and deeper into the legacy programs God has called us to.

The past few years have been incredible and I cannot thank you enough for supporting us. We are so honored to be the hands and feet of Jesus in some of the darkest places on the planet.

I invite you to share in some of the stories from 2022 and get a sneak peek of where we are headed in 2023.

This will be a sort of “Jubilee Year” for ATP. Twenty years ago, in 2003, Victor and Eileen took a leap of faith and created this remarkable organization. We dedicate 2023 as a year of thanks to the Lord. We will be intentionally looking for times when Victor and Eileen can rest, rejoice and share their unique ministry with the world.

Team ATP will honor this “Jubilee Year” by bringing freedom to more women and children, so they are set free physically, emotionally and spiritually, and may finally find a place to rest in our Lord.

THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS ON ME, BECAUSE HE HAS ANOINTED ME TO PROCLAIM GOOD NEWS TO THE POOR. HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM FREEDOM FOR THE PRISONERS AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT FOR THE BLIND, TO SET THE OPPRESSED FREE, TO PROCLAIM THE YEAR OF THE LORD’S FAVOR.
