T.J. and Ellen Holt, TransOceanic Zone Couple at ERI, share their testimony of service from Texas to the international leadership of Teams of Our Lady. Alongside them, Father Augusto García, ERI Spiritual Counselor, reflects on his 25-year experience accompanying couples from Brazil to Canada. Both testimonies reveal how each “yes” to service leads to deeper blessings and how Teams, though diverse in languages and cultures, remain united in the mission to strengthen marriages and grow in Christ. Their stories demonstrate that the Movement is a worldwide family where friendship, prayer, and mutual support transcend geographical boundaries.
