Team Member Bios - Captain Mike Halverson and Captain Judy Bennett

My wife Nancy and I are currently serving as the Corps Officers of the Fort Collins Corps. We have one daughter, Amanda, who is 15, and two sons - Justin, 12, and Brandon, 7. I also have one brother, Shane, who has three children of his own (Tyler, Rylee and Austin). My mom and dad, who are also officers, are stationed in Ketchikan, Alaska. I love watching and playing sports (football, basketball and baseball). I love to exercise and stay in shape, though it doesn't always work out that way! I love to spend time with my wife and children. I also enjoy Bible Bowl (helping teens learn the Word of God).

I have never been on a mission trip before, and I am very excited to be going! The first scripture that came to my mind when thinking about this trip was, “Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few’. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." -Matt. 9:37-38

I am looking forward to a life and heart change that I have heard about from so many people who have been on mission trips before. I am looking to go with an open and willing heart to see how God may change me and make me more like Him.


My awesome husband John and I are currently the Corps Officers at the Centennial Corps. We have 3 great kids: Ruthie (25), Philip (23) and Mark (21). I enjoy biking, travel, reading, hiking, playing bass guitar, and digging in the dirt (gardening).

In preparing for this trip the Lord laid this verse on my heart, "See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?" Isaiah 43:19. This will be my first mission trip and I am looking forward to hearing the stories of those we visit, seeing a new land, and being available to be used by the Lord in whatever manner He chooses.
