Staff partners Ben and Jeffrey! These guys have for real been brothers for me this semester...I am so thankful and grateful to them and their families for how much they have taught me. I couldn't ask for better staff partners. We were playing in the picture but there might have been some real tears as we went into our last campus outreach rally at South Alabama. The theme of the night was "Jesus is better than life" The one thing we want to leave the students with is that.....better than life, air, food, sex, relationships, school.....Jesus is better than life. Before the meeting as these men pleaded with God for laborers to be raised from that room and for them to not just be challenged tonight but to walk with Him for a lifetime and give their life away for him....I felt so privileged to be a part of what God has been doing and will continue to do at South Alabama after we are gone.

Brittany and Laura Jo from D group at our last campus outreach formal rally. I'm gonna miss these girls. Brittany is actually going to spend this summer as an intern at Common Ground Montgomery. She will be working with urban missionaries there in the inner city and reaching out to kids through programs, tutoring, events, and to show and share the love of Christ. Laura Jo will actually be with me at the Summer Beach Project. She is going as a group leader this summer so you can pray for them both that they would grow in their relationship with God and that he would use this summer to help them learn how to give their lives away for the rest of their life.


We had our last weekly bible study last night! We will still see each other with two more weeks left of school but it was our last formal group. We talked about discipleship....the importance of being a disciple and investing in others as well. As we looked at scriptures and had discussion on what we were learning....it never fails each week that I sit back as they are talking and think wow look at God work! What he has done in their lives is something only he can do! Some of these girls lives looked so radically different a year or even 6 months ago and to hear them talking about things they are learning from his word! This is so special and i'm so thankful to be a part. If there is one thing God has humbled me with this semester is that I can't change hearts or make people grow but him that does the work and draws them to himself. Thankyou for praying for me and these girls. Some of them are thinking of going to SBP so you can pray for their decision making and summers.
