the sky is the limit.

God always has something up His sleeve, even when He seems absent or removed, He is always at work for the good of those who love Him. God has been stretching me and opening new doors of possiblities that I never thought were possible here at St. Christopher.



It all started with a conversation with my mentor. We were discussing what my passions are and where I see the Lord taking me in the future. I mentioned my love for the outdoors with young adults; taking students into God's creation for a few days at a time to challenge, grow and stretch them in new ways. My mentor thought I should bring up the idea of starting an adventure education program here at camp. So last week I had a meeting with the camp director to discuss my passions and the possibility of starting something here. I love how God works, He said that He had wanted to start a program like that for a while, but was waiting for someone to step in with passion and initiative to start. We sat down with the Student Ministries director and came up with some great ideas and possiblities. We are looking at offering a Christian Leadership Experience to high school and college-age students. I've been coordinating with my supervisor about incorporating our team building activities and offering trips to area schools and youth groups. Our hope is to have our first group come in the spring. That is my first prayer request...that the Lord would bless the program and our planning, that He would take it the direction it needs to go to glorify Him and reach students. I could also use prayers for peace and clarity, since it's kinda overwhelming to think about all at once.



Obedience. The key to growth and maturity in spriritual insight and wisdom. The Lord asked me to speak in our all-staff St. Christopher chapel a few months ago, and after hesitation and probing from the Lord, I surrendeured and agreed. We are doing a series in chapel focusing on the Lord's prayer and taking it verse by verse. So next week, I will be speaking on "as we forgive those who trespassed against us." It's been fun using my skills from an Inductive Bible Class I had at IWU, but it's also a little nerve racking at the same time. It's just always there, in the back of my mind ya know? That is my second prayer request. That the Lord would speak in me and through me as I prepare and deliver the message next week.

Thank you for all your prayers and support. They are much needed and much appreciated.
