At our 3 universities Troy, South Alabama, and LSU staff and students are preparing for our annual New Year’s Conference in Atlanta. The pic is from last year! Each year over 2000 college students attend this conference and it is a great opportunity to hear the gospel and be motivated in your walk with God. There are currently over 350 students from our schools signed up to go! My friend Emma a sophomore at Troy became a Christian at this conference last year!
CONFERENCE PRAYER REQUESTS:
Ø We would simply See God (Psalm 63:1-8)
Ø Salvation for those that are lost (2 Corinthians 4:3-4)
Ø We would understand/experience the Gospel’s power over sin (Romans 1:16-17; 6:17-18)
Ø Our vision for the Gulf Coast campuses would be refreshed (Matthew 28:18-20)
Ø Clarity for our speaker as he speaks and for our hearts to receive the message (1Thessalonians 1:5; Acts 17:11)
I was actually in a car accident last week. My car was totalled and my ankle sprained but other than that I'm fine. The other driver was not hurt and his car wasn't damaged that much so that's good! I really am blessed. (I'll try to put up a pic once I get one of the car)The hit was head on for me and the air bags probably saved my life. As I thought about how easily I could have lost my life I really just have a peace and am so excited and thankful that I know exactly where I'd go and who I'd be with! How scary these things could be for those who don't know God.
I'm continually meeting with people to share our ministry vision and see if they would join the team as well. That's still my main prayer request! I'm at 41% of my goal!
I wanted to also say a sincere thanks to all of you for all that you do. You pray for me, give financially, and encourage me so much! I am very aware that the building of God's kindgom is a group effort and appreciate so much all that you do where you are.

Hi!
I thought that this site would be great especially when I'm on campus because i'll easily be able to post updates,pictures, and even videos for you to see what's going on. I know that some people prefer paper updates and newsletters and I will do that too but I also know that many let the real mail pile up on the counter while checking their e-mail several times a day and might like something like this. I will continue to be faithful in the e-mail updates and will try to always include a link to the blog when I send them. Love you guys! Oh I'm at 30% of my financial goal so please continue to pray for that!

Well I just went to support raising boot camp this weekend and learned so much about how to be an effective support raiser. I met missionaries from all over the world and was so excited to hear about thier vision for fulfilling the Great Commision found in Matthew 28:19-20.
The best thing was just remembering the vision of what I wanted to do and be a part of in the first place. I truly believe that God uses Campus Outreach to change lives and the world and that is exciting to be a part of and an awesome opportunity for others to invest in!
I think my biggest struggle with support raising over the past months has been letting my circumstances guide my feelings. It is easy when things are hard to lose sight of God's promises and his truth. It has been so refreshing over the past few days to go back to the reason I am doing this---because Christ loved and died for me! I want others to experience this love as well.
1. That he would provide at least 3 new supporters per week to join my team.
2. That through those I meet I would also learn of others that would like to be a part.
3. That those who invest in this ministry opportunity would be blessed and encouraged to know that they are a part of influencing others for Christ.

Well I'm not a journaler or a blogger at all but I thought that this would be a good way to let everyone know what is going on.
I named the blog walking by faith for now because #1 I couldn't think of anything creative with my name and #2 that is one of the main things God is teaching me in this chapter of my life.
Currently I am raising support to go on staff with Campus Outreach. I've been involved with C/O throughout college and can't imagine a better job. Once the support is raised then I will move to a college campus and full-time focus on evangelism and discipleship. God has drastically changed my life and I simply want to follow his leading and share his love with others. Until then I am living at home with my family and substitute teaching!
I can't WAIT to get on campus but God is teaching me so much during support raising. The people on my team so far are AMAZING! I couldn't ask for better brothers and sisters in Christ who are on the team by giving and praying. My main prayer request is that God would provide the rest of the supporters needed so that I can get on campus soon. I don't know how good I will be at keeping this blog up but I will do my best!
