Accountant

My name is Amanda Cook and I help with the RBW finances and accounting. It is a privilege to work with this practical side of the ministry and be part of what God is doing through RBW. I love seeing God's continued provision and how He is growing the ministry as we seek His Kingdom first. Amanda desires more than anything to serve the Lord faithfully and boldly for all the days of her life. If you have comments or questions for Amanda, feel free to email her.

Teresa was bit by the missions bug in January 2015 and it has since become her passion. She has been studying Spanish for over three years and spent three weeks in Guatemala learning in an immersion school. Teresa has had the opportunity to translate and help lead teams in Mexico. She gives her all and isn’t afraid to step outside her comfort zone, giving her the chance to totally trust in the Lord. She has a servant’s heart and is looking forward to being involved in the ministry work in Nicaragua or wherever else the Lord leads. Teresa, her husband Trent and their two daughters are from McClusky, North Dakota.

Board Member, Chairman

Trent started missions work in 2015 after his wife and oldest daughter returned from their first trip in Mexico and insisted the whole family go again. He has since been a part of seven different teams. Not only does he enjoy sharing about Jesus, but he also likes to use his many skills to benefit others: construction, leadership, carpentry, painting and more. He is excited to continue serving through RBW Missions and is looking forward to new experiences in Nicaragua and expanding his Spanish vocabulary. Trent, his wife Teresa and their two daughters are from McClusky, North Dakota.
