Our Staff: Ventana Team
President/Founders, Doug and Carrie VomSteeg
With a gift for making history class fun and understandable and being selected as teacher of the year by his fellow staff in 2004, Doug never imagined leaving the teaching profession. He loved what he did and it was evident by those who knew him. Yet following 14 years of teaching public high school he obeyed a new calling from God. A calling that would ask them to sell everything and simply follow Him. In 2005 he and his wife Carrie (along with their two boys) entered full-time ministry as founders of Ventana Ministries.
Program Intern, Jason Chess
Jason comes to us from Portland, OR, where he was born and raised. Jason is a Ventana alumni and it is his obedience to God that has lead him back to Porvenir. He loves meeting new people, playing Ultimate Frisbee, and serving God. Jason is here to encourage the students, as well as, get an inside look at ministry life. He is very excited to be joining the team!
Office Manager, Kasey Abrahamian
With her accounting skills and passion for detail, Kasey makes this ministry run efficiently and keeps the government officials happy by completing all the forms they demand.

Kasey has been with Ventana Ministries since the very beginning, and she has a strong desire to assist in the continued growth.
