CSU05:: Being a part of our family

Wednesday, July 20th, 2005

We have only been at National Staff Conference for two days here at Colorado State University and are already feeling such emotion and excitement for what lies ahead of us in our ministry. We want to thank you for your prayers and support to allow us to be a part of the Campus Crusade for Christ family and what God is doing through this organization. We are both being filled more fully with Christ and his call for us and it is wonderful to be in fellowship with Him as well as many of our friends, who we do not get to see except this oportunity every two years.

John Piper is our main speaker for our conference and he has been teaching us powerfully from God’s word as it pertains directly to the mission on Campus Crusade for Christ. The them for the conference this week is…”People of the Mission, Captivated by God, Called to the World.” We are seeing how much of that mission we are a part of and even more so how much we need and desire to be captivated by God. The world is at our doorstep on the college campus and we are going to it.

If you have been receiving our newsletter, you know that God has been teaching us and molding us for our ministry as we have been raising our support. Well, we have almost half of our support in and we know that God is going to be doing some great things in our lives to bring the rest of our support in quickly. We are loving our time spent in fellowship with God and Family here at CSU. We can not wait to come back and tell you more.
