Xavier Baptized


I spent a portion of my day yesterday at the Baptism of Xavier. He accepted Jesus at Open Bible church a week ago. I have worked with Xavier since he was a freshman. This month's newsletter is about Stacey, who accepted Jesus last year. Stacey and Xavier are best friends, and Stacey introduced Xavier to that church. I am excited to see God continuing to move through the work He has started with Campus Life! The Kingdom is being advanced.

------------------------------
I got my YFC Credentials, which means I am a licensed minister again. Which is good for my volunteer Erica Fox, because I am slated to do her wedding in a few weeks. This will mean a housing allowance and other benefits that help ministers. God is good!

 Had a great day of playing soccer with the Campus Life Kids today. Got a nice sunburn and sore legs. It was a group of kids I think that can radically changed the campus if they boldly profess Jesus.

Skycamp 2013

  What an amazing week at Camp. When the Spirit of God moves it is amazing to witness. 3 Elmira students made commitments to follow Jesus Christ. Taylor, Samantha, and Jesse. Many others made commitments to seek Christ in some way, whether they were already believers or were still seekers looking to find Him. It was an amazing week to watch God move.
  I am hoping that I can share Jesse's story with you either in the newsletter next month or here. The Holy Spirit answered his genuine prayer for Christ to have his life. It came on him so powerfully he was shaking, scared, and at peace all at the same time.
  Jesse's new faith is so encouraging! I had the opportunity to fill in for Pastor Gangle at Fern Ridge Faith Center this past Sunday. Jesse showed up to the service with his uncle. It was amazing to know he is a brother in Christ and actually in church. Jesse had not stepped foot inside a church, and said he couldn't after his father passed away. On Sunday he had no problem coming to grow in his faith and seek the life God has for him.
  May you too be encouraged by what God is going, and always look forward to what he does next.
In Christ,
