Technology continues to open up new avenues of communication and the developing, maintaining and
sharing of information. As information services manager for One Collective (formerly International Teams) since 1987, Dann maintains and improves hardware, software, email, web services, and other systems. This supports workers internationally who are showing Christ’s love by offering everyone access to food, freedom, and forgiveness.
One Collective’s vision is to see lives transformed by the power of God, and their mission is to bring people together to help the oppressed.
From One Collective’s website:
Integrated community transformation (ICT) is our core purpose. It’s a strategy to realize Jesus’ claim that the Kingdom of God is here. With Jesus, we seek to model his own ministry, focusing on the needs of the whole person.
We want to see people as Jesus does — responding to their spiritual and physical needs in an integrated way. We focus on people in the context of their community—regarding everyone from recognized leaders to those on the margins who seem invisible.
We come alongside the community to work collaboratively toward transformation. For us, communities are defined either by types of people or by geographic boundaries. We define an area where a measurable impact can be realistically seen. Our ultimate focus is to see change that reflects Jesus. We begin by ensuring that no one is invisible and everyone has access to food, freedom, and forgiveness. Access to those holistic needs opens the door for deep transformation.
Dann finds opportunities to provide technical assistance to individuals and ministries in the Fox Valley, Alaska, Haiti, and Ghana. Dann and Nancy have over the years been involved in ministering to children including their own eight, and many others through foster care. Nancy has blessed many with her involvement in the prayer shawl ministry and women’s ministry.
