Fusion Camp

This past week was Fusion Camp! And it was incredible. We took 197 middle school students to camp michindoh for a week. While it was exhausting, it was totally amazing to see God move. 32 students stood up to accept Christ the first night, and God continued to move in the lives of our students all week. The guys in my cabin opened up about all sorts of issues they are facing. It always breaks my heart to hear stories from students about bullying, and divorce, and everything else that they deal with. Those were the two biggest issues facing the guys in my cabin. 7 of the 12 come from broken homes, and all but 1 of those 7 said they had no relationship or wanted no relationship with their dad. Most also had bad relationships with step-dads. Just breaks my heart. Divorce is not a part of God's plan, and there are some deep wounds. Sherry Haueter gave a great talk on parents, and we had some great discussion and had some breakthroughs afterwards.

Been Awhile

Hello again everyone! Sorry it has been awhile since my last post. This summer has been a full one. Ministry during the summer is totally different than ministry during the school year, especially student ministry. Students are not in their normal routine and it can be very easy for them to disconnect from church and worse from God. Part of what I've been working on is keeping students connected.
I also had the opportunity to go teach for a whole weekend in Kidville, which is our 1st through 5th grade ministry, that was tons of fun. It was also the same weekend of  my first Fusion Teaching Video. linked here if for some odd reason you want to watch it   http://vimeo.com/24755806
Also in two weeks is Fusion Camp! We take 195 middle school students to Camp Michindoh for 5 days! It is going to be incredibly fun, and even more incredibly tiring! Luckily I have some vacation time saved up from Starbucks so i can take not only that week but also that next monday off to recuperate.
