Tim Tam

Executive Director

As a teen in the northern suburbs of Chicago Tim Tam, Executive Director of TWAW, began his journey with Christ through the ministry of Young Life. Throughout his college days he was involved with youth programs and Bible studies leading the New Trier Young Life Club where he served for 8 years. In 1979 he graduated from Trinity College in Deerfield, IL where he majored in biblical studies and psychology. In 1980 he joined the staff at First Presbyterian Church in Evanston, IL as Director of Youth Ministries. While working there Tim participated in several mission trips and projects. He realized the immense value of these activities not only for the recipients, but also for manner in which they transformed the participants. Involving young people in mission became a focus of Tim's ministry. He left Evanston in August of 1988 to further his studies at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary where he earned his Masters of Divinity. After graduation he, his wife (Lisa) and three children (Cara, Josh, and Nate) moved to Amarillo, TX where Tim served as associate pastor of Youth ministries and adult education at First Presbyterian Church.

While serving at FPC Amarillo the mission to Belize took on a life of its own. What began as a spring break mission trip rapidly grew into an independent 501(C)3 non-profit organization. Founded in 2002, TWAW now serves as an interdenominational ministry engaging hundreds of volunteers each year from across our nation, impacting tens of thousands of lives in Belize.

Today Tim continues to live in Amarillo with his amazing wife, Lisa, and travels frequently to Belize.

Kenny Logan

Construction Manager

I was born September 17 1969 in Monkey River Town, Belize into a large family hence the joy of work was taught early on the small farm we had. Fishing was also a part of every day life. I attended elementary but not high school. At about 17 years of age I gave my life to Christ and I started working in the construction industry. This became my joy and building with my hand gave me a sense of purpose.  I am very much self-taught in all the areas of house construction. In 1993 I was offered a scholarship to study Theology in Barbados and graduated top in my class.  I was later ordained as a pastor and served in that capacity for about 7 years.  1999-2001 I was the construction supervisor for Habitat for Humanity Belize and helped build 14 houses.  Then I went to the USA for a while and was planning to start life over there but on a short trip home I met Tim Tam and volunteered to work with his group if I was available.  Well, I am still available doing the thing I enjoy doing. So every day I go to work at my hobby. Yes, our God is good and has a big sense oh humor. And I am just his servant, so pray that I may continue to do so.  With me in this adventure is my wife Tina, daughter Kaylie and son Kj.
