Hello Again!
February 2, 2009
Hey Friends!
I know it’s been so long since I’ve posted on here. In fact, I’m a little worried that many of you have lost confidence in me keeping this updated regularly. And for that, I apologize. I haven’t always been the best communicator when it comes to sharing my thoughts in an email or website. I tend to express my thoughts verbally and more personally, however I will do better at this. It’s is a New Year’s Resolution I will keep to.
Count on it.
In the news of Ignite Student Ministries, we’re definitely in full swing as we prepare for our winter retreat in two weeks over Valentine’s Day weekend. The entire youth group will be heading to Hidden Valley Scout Reservation for some awesome military style training sessions that will strengthen our hearts and souls as christians in this world. We’ll even be doing some skiing at Roundtop as well! Booyah for this awesome event coming up!
Yesterday, Teresa and Nate held an awesome information meeting about out 2009 mission opportunities to Anniston, Alabama and Knockpatrick, Jamaica. Again this summer, we’ll be working with TEAMeffort both trips where we’ll be building up deaf school facilities and bringing the light of Christ to the people in these communities. I’m stoked at the energy, commitment, and interest we saw yesterday at the meeting. Hopefully, these will be life-changing weeks for the students and leaders as well as the people of the communities.
In other news, lots and lots of student’s birthday’s here at CrossPoint. It’s so awesome for each of them. I don’t quite have the same feelings for my birthday as I used to when I was younger, but I definitely love to celebrate their special days when I see them! In reality, it’s only a single day older in this lifetime, but it’s a significant in that it represents more wisdom, more experience, more life that has been lived-it’s a rite of passage and I’m so thankful for being around them when they do celebrate these days!
Keep checking in soon and be blessed!
In His Dust,
Josh
