Earlier this year the Board of Directors invited Joe Atkinson to be IYT's first Executive Director.  Joe and his family  (wife Tina, Emily (13) and Max (10) ) currently live in Tucson, Arizona, where they have owned and managed a custom cabinetry manufacturing and contracting business that has been in the Atkinson family for 38 years.  Joe serves the local church in many capacities, and supports several para-church organizations with fund-raising and mentoring.  He is looking forward to working full time with IYT, using his business experience and skills to further kingdom work across the globe.
