BOTS!

What an amazing weekend! We have over 200 students come together as we addressed relationships, dating and sex. It is always powerful when we get away from our everyday life and take a weekend to focus on God. 47 students gave their lives to Christ! The presence of God was thick at this retreat – students learned what it was to hear God and many experienced His love in a deeper way than ever before.

James produced the retreat – this meant that he was the go-to person for any leader and he made sure everything ran smoothly. He is great with weekends like this and we always know that the details will be taken care of! In the midst of his tasks he was also able to have some key ministry opportunities with students.

I had a group of 10 freshmen girls and an amazing co-leader! It was a great weekend to love on these girls and I am believing for God to continue to show up in power. It is amazing to hear the different stories and experiences that these students have… but in the midst of it all, we know that God is bigger and that he can make all things work together for the good of those who love him! I was also able to share during our girls’ session. I love having opportunities to share with girls – encouraging and building them up! God has more than we could ask or imagine in store for these students!

The reality of the truth – HIS power is made perfect in our weakness – was evident this weekend! I am continually blown away when God chooses to work through us in our weakness! God being glorified and lives being changed is worth it!

Every time James and I get to spend time investing in students – our hearts are continually stirred and we love that God has given us the desire to invest in these amazing young men and women! We are honored to be a part of all that God is doing in and through them!
