This past week was a very exciting one. We had a welcome the new interns party at Hooties house on Friday. Hooty is one of the elders at CedarCreek.tv He shared some of his personal story with us which was great to hear. He has one crazy story. At the age of 19 he was kidnapped from work with a gun stuck to his head. While he and one of his coworkers were being put into the car the other coworker tackled one of the kidnappers, and Hooty was able to run away. That experience made him start contemplating life a little deeper and two years later decided to give his life to Christ and he was not turned back since. His heart for reaching people with the gospel is very apparent when you talk to him. It is so great knowing that the heart and passions of the people leading your church are in the right place.

Earlier that day Shawn (the student ministries pastor of our Whitehouse campus) Levi (another student ministries intern from the Perrysburg campus) and I made a video to promote our Fusion Overnighter on Feb 11. It was a blast. we went to the perrysburg YMCA and made fools of ourselves in the gym, then went over to Levi's house where the foolishness continued. The video should be uploaded to our fusionlife.tv facebook page sometime this week, as well as some blooper footage.

It was great to get more in depth with student ministries again. It might sound weird, but sitting in meetings with other leaders planning out the weekend and some other events we have coming up was great for me. it energizes me knowing I am a part of students knowing God. Is there anything better than that?
