Getting to know some guys!

Hey supporters!

Club last week, the 9th, was so great! It was incredible how the Lord answered prayers. Earlier that day I sent you all a pray request list including some things like technical stuff at club, silence during the talk, clarity in the talk, and belly laughter. That night our friend Travis was able to play guitar leaving me freed up to MC the night which aided in everything flowing throughout the night. You could hear a pin drop during the talk, even during my jokes, just kidding. The first thing the other leader Karen said to me after the talk was, "It was SO clear!" And I'm happy to say that I laughed and kids laughed really hard! Not only this, but afterward at Chick-fil-a I had a great time with guys I've never really had the opportunity to talk to before. It was crazy how the Lord answered prayers last week!

So last night was the last club of 2009 and club was pretty small, BUT Alex Fiore was there, Brady, Tanner Bair, Terry Powers, Hunter and Luke as well as a good amount of other guys. Club was pretty ackward, especially when the gogggles broke and it took about 15 minutes to fix them while everyone was waiting for the skit to start, hahaha. But I laughed, and to my surprise kids definitely laughed hard! Tiffany, the other leader, gave her testimony and did an incredible job! I got to give Billy, Tanner, Taylor and Terry a ride home. Which was awesome. While I was praying at the school the other day I started dreaming about the school being turned upside down and the incredible work the Lord will do there. I started to imagine camp trips and clubs and campaigners and the whole school being impacted. It's really exciting. I dropped Terry off last and told him how at the last school I was at there were 80-100 kids at club. He was like, "Oh my god!" and I said, "You said it man" haha. No I didn't really say that, but I said Westminster could be bigger. I think God's gonna use Terry in a huge way, but only God knows!

Club was awesome!

Hey supporters!

Thank you so much for your prayers this past Wednesday. They were not in vain. Sorry for the delay with the update, but club went so well!

We didn't have a huge turnout, but Travis played guitar which freed me up to just hang with guys and have a blast and it was incredible! I was able to be up front and MC the night, which was a lot of fun, and I really did laugh hard and so did kids.

I gave the talk about the Cross and I just want to tell you that you could hear a pin drop the whole 15 minutes. Also, one of the leaders said it was crystal clear and I got good feedback from the rest of the people I talked to. Hopefully the Lord will use it in the hearts of kids.

I finished the talk by saying this, "Just like Christmas gifts aren't meant to stay under the tree, this gift of God was meant to be opened. 1 Peter 3:18, 'For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God.' I want you guys to think about two questions: one, do you know anyone who loves you as much as this God? And two, Do you want to?"

After club at Chick-fil-a I got to hang out with some guys and have great conversations with fellas that I normally don't really get to talk to and I think some steps were definitely taken in those friendships.

Thank you so much for you prayers! They were felt! While I have you, please pray for Campaigners tonight that it would be a blast, that kids would be loved and encouraged and challenged. And please pray for our last club this Wednesday as Bailey Wolfe shares her testimony. I know these prayers work so I'm not too ashamed to beg. Thank you so much!!

Club Tonight!

Hey supporters!

Tonight we have club at Ashton Emily's house and I will be giving the talk about Jesus going to the cross. Last week I talked about Sin and this week I will tell them more about the greatest gift ever given.

Please pray for tonight. Some guys won't be able to be there that have been bringing a good amount of folks to club, so please pray that kids would still make it out. We struggled with technical stuff in club last week that provided some pretty akward moments so please pray that no matter how big or small club is that we wouldn't even notice cause the aroma of Christ and joy of Him would be so overwhelming. Please pray for kids to belly laugh, but during the talk we would be able to hear a pin drop. Please pray that the Lord would prepare kids hearts to hear this story the gospel, which literally means, "Good News."

Our team knows we can do nothing apart from Christ, John 15:5. Nothing. Please pray we would be reminded of that, our stress relieved and that everyone there would be reminded of this incredible, reckless love the Father has for us. Also, please pray for conversations after club.

For my talk I ask that you would pray that it would be concise, clear and covered with my own gratefulness of what he's done for me.

We will be singing How Deep the Father's Love For Us tonight before the talk and after the talk. As that song goes, "Why should I gain from his reward? I cannot give an answer, but this I know with all my heart, His wounds have paid my ransom." Please pray this would would strike kids in the depth of their hurting and aching hearts. And please be reminded yourself of this incredible forgiveness and love poured out for you.

Thank you for your loving and adoring prayers for my little mission field I've been called to. Real quick, I walked through the empty hallways of Westminster High School today and I know this...your prayers echo through those places where kids are and will impact lives forever.

Thank you.
