Staff



The staff of Solid Rock Foundation mInistries is a group of individuals and familes with experience at local and international levels. Each staff member is dedicated to living a lifestyle of obedience to God's Word.

Currently we have four types of staff: full-time, part-time, volunteers, and interns. In order to be a full-time staff member one must have completed a Youth With A Mission Discipleship Training School, a Solid Rock Foundation Ministries Discipeship Training School (The Quarry), or have interend with SRFM for a year or more.

Full-time staff members make themselves available to serve SRFM on a full-time basis, this makes it virtually impossible to have a traditional job. As such, they must raise enough support on a monthly basis to cover all of their living expenses as well as the travel expenses necessary to accompany youth on missions trips and to minister in the nation and the nations. Full-time staff members are generally committed to SRFM for at 1-2 years at a time.




President and Vice President:
David and Kathleen Tabor

David and Kathleen have involved in full time missions since 1977.  They began their mission’s adventure by joining Youth With A Mission in September 1977, going to Hawaii for two years of training and mission’s introduction at the University of the Nations.

In 1979 they moved to Australia and were on staff with YWAM Australia.  They served in Goulburn for two years and Brisbane for two years.  There they were involved in training, teaching, discipleship, youth ministry and evangelism locally, nationally and internationally.

In 1983 they moved to Lae, Papua New Guinea where they pioneered YWAM PNG.  They were involved again in training, teaching discipleship, youth ministry and evangelism.  Under their leadership, three YWAM bases were established and numerous local, national and international  outreach events were held.

In 1997 David and Kathleen moved to Montrose, Colorado where they founded  Solid Rock Foundation Ministries, a Youth and Family ministry.  They continue to be involved internationally as well and nationally and locally.  Teaching, training, discipleship and evangelism are still top priority.

David and Kathleen have four married children, with 18 grandchildren.  All their children, Lisa, Jordan, Megan and John were raised in missions and  now reside in the United States.

The Geoff and Megan Ila Family

HI! We're the Ila family.  Geoff, Megan, Teira, Jamie, Shae and Tayne. We have been with SRFM officially since 2003 and unofficially since 1998 when it all started!

Teira is our oldest child and she is 12 this year. She is currently in 6th Grade and she goes to school at Rocky Mountain International Academy (RMI A) .

Jamie is 10 this year and she will be in 4th Grade at Colorado West Christian School .

Shae is 6 this year. She is also at Colorado West Christian School and she will be in 1st Grade this year.

Tayne is 4 this year and he will be going to Pre- school next year. Mommy not ready to have all her babies in school yet.

We were previously with YWAM Papua New Guinea and we have been trained through YWAM to primarily work with children, teenage and family ministries. We have been married almost 15 years and have travelled to and worked with young people in 16 different nations.

Megan and I are the leaders for Local Audience of One ministries here in Montrose. We run the fall and spring Local Ao1 seasons. We also lead weekly Ao1 accountability group meetings for the older teens, Megan taking the girls and me the boys. In the summer we are involved with our Ao1 International program. This family picture was taken on a 5 week outreach trip to Hong Kong with Ao1 International the summer of 2007 .

Megan and I also lead the worship ministry in SRFM. At the beginning of 2007 we took the team back to my home nation Papua New Guinea , and ministered in two of the major cities, Port Moresby and Lae. Our purpose in Papua New Guinea as a worship team was to "Call Forth the Warriors"! We sensed that the Lord wanted us to encourage those that had dropped the call and vision of God in their lives through whatever reason and go back to walking in the centre of Gods will for their lives. We also got the opportunity to do some renovations on the YWAM base in Lae where Megan and I met, married and served for the first 8 years of our married life.

During the school year Megan works as a substitute teacher at Colorado West Christian School (CWCS) and I am the PE teacher at CWCS and RMIA. The opportunity that we have to work in both christian schools allows us to stay within the parameters of our call "To train and discilple young people" and also provides school fees for our three children that are attending those schools. We live very much by faith as we live on support.

Our Needs:

- Pray for continued focus on God in all that He has shown us to do and, that we will stay in the centre of His will as a married couple and a family.

- Pray for the schools we serve, Colorado West Christian School and, Rocky Mountain International Academy that we continue to have divine appoinments with the young people, and for God to bless these schools especially those involved in christian education which is vital for our young people today.

- Pray for our Local Ao1 ministry in Montrose, that God would give us the resources to "...extend our tent pegs" especially in the area of hands on staff. We also need to see God provide a facility for us to cater for both the Fall and Spring seasons. This facility will also be an asset to our accountability groups.

- Pray for our International Ao1 summer outreaches, that God would continue to give us wisdom for our next outreach and begin to provide the resources for our family to travel.

- Finally, pray for our financial support. Our needs are about $2,500.00 a month which covers bills and rent each month. Please pray that our support base increases as we embark on making our needs known through our newsletter/ support letter at the end of this month. 

Keep up with the Ilas here.

The Luke and Julie Weaver Family

We joined SRFM in September 2001 when we were both single. At this time, Luke worked mostly with mercy ministries, and Julie worked mostly with youth. We, and several other young adults, lived with the Tabors. It was a neat time of growth as the Tabors walked us through many things in our relationship with God and our relationship with each other through our courtship and engagement process. We finished this season with Solid Rock as we got happily married in August of 2002.

Even though we weren’t on full time staff, we staffed the Ao1 outreaches in the summers of 2004 ( Italy ) and 2005 ( New Zealand ). December of 2005, we felt God leading us to officially join SRFM staff again.

Over this time, we have worked mostly with the worship ministry. Through the worship ministry we have led musical worship for several churches in Montrose, many events, and SRFM’s weekly community meetings. Beginning in 2008 we have gone on full-time support and have committed to staffing "The Quarry". We have also been active in intercession at RMIA as well as helping to coach their sports teams. In addition, we connect regularly with the YWAM Cimarron base and participate in prayer at the Hosanna House of Prayer located in Montrose.

We also felt God leading us as a worship ministry to go to Papua New Guinea in January 2007 to “Call Forth the Warriors” in this island nation. It was an awesome time of seeing God move as we worshipped, shared, and learned about the importance of being a family in missions.

Luke and I have a 2 year old son named Jarrett who is a great delight to us. He is talking a lot now and some of his favorite things are airplanes, animals, and people. We have a baby girl named Rayna who was born in December 2007.

Our hearts in ministry is to put God first, family second, and then work with youth discipleship, prayer, and worship. We also have a heart for overseas missions (we have both worked with YWAM in the past), and recently God has been giving us more of a heart for America and seeing revival here.

The Tamara Lewko Family

The Lewkos worked many years with Youth With A Mission before joining SRFM. The Lewko family has been involved with SRFM for about 5 years.  Tamara works teaches and disciples young people through our Ao1 ministries as well as being available for any events that SRFM is involved in. Their family has helped with several of our outreaches traveling to Colorado Springs, Italy, the West Coast, and Hong Kong with Ao1 International. Tamara home schools her sons, Ethan and Daniel. Her oldest son, Nathaniel, has just graduated from home school and will be participating in "The Quarry". The boys make themselves available for practical helps, whether it be setting up sound systems, hauling luggage, helping fix things, or encouraging those that are younger than themselves.




Mary Lou Luttrell

My name is Mary Lou Mills Luttrell. I moved to the Montrose, Colorado area when I was four and a half years old (I am now 68 years old). I grew up in this area and attended the schools. After high school graduation I attended Western State Colloed at Gunnison for a year and a quarter.

I married Ron Luttrell in 1959. We have four children: Rhonda Castle, Chauncey Luttrell, Rachel Werner, and Stephanie Moore. Our marriage ended in divorce in 1973. I never remarried.

I worked for the Montrose School District for eleven years then I sold pianos, organs, and keyboards for several years and was a Health and Life Insurance agent for eleven yeras.

In 1985 and 1986 I did a "Crossroads School" with Youth With a Mission and then a "Worship, Intercession, and Spiritual Warfare school "with YWAM in 1999. At the complestion of that school I went with SRFM on their first outreach in 1999. In 2000 I joined the staff of SRFM.

I am the prayer intercessor for both the local and international Ao1 teams. I attend the Montrose County Intercessor prayer meetings. I minister to the senior citizens with music in Montrose a couple of times a month. I am a Grandma eight times and a Great-Grandma three times, which I thoroughly enjoy.

Solid Rock Foundation Ministries has been a tremendous blessing to me. God has worked mightily through this ministry in my life. The three generational feature of the ministry is so important. I have a wonderful family and wonderful friends. God has blessed me so richly. Praise His Holy name.




Clara Ila

Clara came to Montrose and joined SRFM from Papua New Guinea .  She plays a key role in prayer coordination in the region, she also helps to train young people with an international perspective.




Charity Freeland

Charity Freeland has worked with SRFM since October of 2002. After meeting David and Kathleen through their post-high school bible study in 2000, I knew that I someday wanted to work closer with their organization. In 2001 I went with Audience of One on a life changing outreach trip to London. Since then I have traveled to Australia, Italy, New Zealand, and Hong Kong with Ao1. I led Grand Juction Ao1 for two years and have helped with Montrose Ao1. I also help with the administrative duties in SRFM and oversee the bookkeeping.

I have greatly appreciated the relationships that I have developed in SRFM. I have been challenged to go further and deeper, in my relationship with God, than I ever thought possible. I have had the oppurtunity to work with people of all ages, cultures, backgrounds, and circumstances and I have learned so much. I've learned leadership skills. I have also learned who I am, I've learned to walk in confidence in who God created me to be.

Keep up with the new ministry I'm stepping into, Hope's Journey Int'l, here.

Part-time staff members typically have at least a part-time job in the marketplace. They are committed to some of the ministries that SRFM is involved in. They typically only need to raise support for travel expenses. Part-time staff members are generally committed to SRFM for at 1-2 years at a time.




The Jeff and Karina Tabor Family

Jeff, Karina, and Talya Tabor joined SRFM in December of 2005. Jeff is David and Kathleen's nephew. He also works as an electrician and has his Residential Wireman's License. Jeff plays the drums and djembe for the SRFM worship team, and lends a hand where and when he can.
 
Karina is a stay-at-home mom with Talya. She is working on getting some of her poems out into the public. Karina fills in on occassion as the SRFM Bookkepper, and supports her husband in the worship
team.
 
Talya Nichole was born to Jeff and Karina on August 1, 2005. Her first name is Hebrew for "Heaven's dew." Her middle name is Greek for "victory of the people." For her part with SRFM, she endears everyone's heart with love and joy.

Kathy Weaver

Our family first became involved with SRFM in the summer of 1998 when our teenage daughters and some of their friends joined David and Kathleen Tabor for a week of prayer and fasting at the World Prayer Center “Prayer Storm”.  When they returned, we and other parents were invited to join the young people for a weekly early morning prayer time for youth and the nation.  It was awesome to see how God worked as the generations came together in agreement with Him.  That fall, Michelle Stucky joined SRFM staff, and we were blessed to have her live in our home for the next two years. 

From the summer of 1999 to the present 2007, two or more members of our family have participated in the annual King’s Kids and AO1 International Team outreaches, which have had a profound impact on each of us in our personal faith, character, and relationship with the Lord, as well as the privilege of seeing God work through us to impact nations.  In 2001 our daughter, Julie, joined SRFM staff and moved into their staff house (Hebron House). 

In 2003, after our youngest daughter graduated from our home school, I joined SRFM staff and looked forward to more involvement with this organization that shared our same core values of seeking and honoring God first in all things and ministry to youth and families.  My husband, Rick continues to work fulltime as a civil engineer with Del-Mont Consultants and enjoys serving with the ministry when he is able.  I help with SRFM service projects, the prayer team, some secretarial work, and sometimes with AO1.

Volunteers are committed to specific ministries. Their committment level is usually on a seasonal basis and varies according to their schedule.

Interns typically reside with the Directors, David and Kathleen Tabor, where they are discipled and trained for leadership. They usually make a year committment and assist with the various ministries of SRFM. They generally need to raise enough support to cover their monthly expenses.
