By the Numbers

19: This month started in DC at our New Year’s Conference.  A few highlights from that trip:
  • 19 students made decisions to follow Christ as their Savior
  • 38 students from Wofford attended; most continue to be involved in our weekly meetings and socials
  • Very worshipful News Year Eve celebration with prayer,
    praise…and a fun party afterwards
  • Two quotes from a freshman and sophomore from Wofford:
    • “DC was an awesome experience and I got a chance to grow as a Christian and as a man.  
    • "I learned many things at conference and the most important is that I was not a Christian; though you can confess [Christ's] name with your mouth, your lifestyle must also reflect that confession."

50: Our office team traveled to Alabama in mid- Jan for a Global Resourcing Conference, specifically for those (like me) working in “resourcing” offices for Campus Outreach. A few highlights:
  • Met 50 other office staff, representing 19 Campus Outreach regions (15 in US and 4 international)
  • Gained biblical perspective for how our work in the office is a part of the bigger picture of advancing the gospel of Christ “to the ends of the earth”
  • Acts 6:1-7= a verse we have claimed as a Campus Outreach Greenville office team
Our office: Mike (my boss), Carrie (Mike's wife), Peter, Lynn, Mary Beth, Me
7: Over the next 7 days, I’m asking God for perspective, vision, and goals in regards to my personal ministry at Wofford for this spring semester, which begins next Monday.  I would really appreciate your prayers to that end as well as the following:
  • Commitment: that I'd make the most of my time after work building relationships, sharing the gospel, and maturing students in Christ; living out of my purpose in life- Matt 28:19-20
  • Dependence: that I would be dependent on God and your prayers, not myself (John 15:5)
