Daniel Brown and his wife, Beverly, are full-time missionaries at the International House of Prayer in Kansas City. Daniel also gives leadership to the youth ministry of Forerunner Church, Student Ministries, and serves as faculty for the Center for Biblical End-Times Studies and International House of Prayer University.

They desire to see youth and young adults equipped to love Jesus, hear His voice, obey His Word, and live in the power of His Spirit to serve others. Daniel and Beverly have been serving in prayer, preaching, and youth ministry since 2007 and currently reside in Grandview, Missouri with their son and daughter.

Tessa Wilson, Associate Director

Tessa is a graduate of Forerunner Music Academy but grew up in Northwest Arkansas, where she developed a love for teenagers and seeing them walk in their calling. She fell in love with Jesus as an ATC camper many years ago, then went on to be a group leader and executive administrator before becoming an associate director.

This year, Daniel is serving as one of the camp’s Associate Directors, but in years past, he has also been a Group Leader and the Activities Director for ATC. Daniel is excited for this summer and is ready to bring all his alligator wrestling and orange tree growing to the test.

Caroline Hanson, Associate Director

Caroline is a proud Texan but considers KC her home. She is currently in the Forerunner School of Ministry at IHOPU studying the Word and falling deeper in love with Christ. Caroline first encountered the Lord as a teenager when she was an ATC camper and her prayer is that the Lord would come and transform the hearts of teenagers with His unyielding love just like He did in her own life. Caroline has served as a Group Leader in past summers, but this summer is serving as an Associate Director for ATC. She is pumped for the fun and craziness that camp brings but is also expectant to see how the Lord meets each camper’s heart with His compassion, zeal, and love.
