Hitting the road

December 26, 2009 in Campus Ministry, Family Update, Portland, Prayer Requests with 0 Comments

After an amazing Christmas in Bozeman, we’re hitting the road for January. IMG_0552We’re loading the bags as I write this and we’ve got some good house-sitters lined up for our house in Bozeman. (Pray that it sells soon!)

First stop will be our winter conference in Portland, Oregon, where us and 700 of our friends will gather in the Portland Convention Center to worship, learn and party in the New Year! 95 students from MSU are joining us! I’m teaching a seminar on transitioning to life after college as well as helping with some video production.

Next (Jan 2-8th) we’ll spend time in Prineville, Oregon visiting some of you! If you have time and are interested in touching base with us, please let us know

Finally, we have a couple housesitting gigs in Portland untill Feb 3rd, where we’ll be raising support, setting up some things for the Portland ministry and trying to figure out where we want to live. If you’re in the area, we’d love to meet with you!

End of an Era

December 17, 2009 in Family Update, Portland, Prayer Requests with 2 Comments

As we wrap up our time at Montana State University and do some end of the semester evaluating, we feel incredibly grateful to have seen our ministry grow from 60 students involved (10 years ago) to where it is now with 37 small groups across campus and 300-400 students attending our weekly meeting! We’re sending students all over the world to serve him and it’s a joy to know that we’re part of God’s redemptive story for the world. What is happening in this small college town matters!IMG_2130

It’s bitter sweet to say goodbye to our staff team and the students involved here, but God has been so good to us here that we can’t help but worship God for who he is and give thanks to him.

Please pray for us over the next few months:

  • Pray our house would sell in Bozeman
  • Pray for new ministry partners as we raise additional support for our move to the city
  • Pray for all of our travel to Oregon and back over the coming months
  • Pray for the perfect living situation for us in Portland
  • Pray for the details of launching a new ministry would be directing by the Lord
  • Pray for us as we serve at our Winter Conference Dec 28th-Jan 2. Pray for the 100 students that are attending from MSU to experience God in a fresh way too.
