What I Write About

I write about the infinite number of intersections between every day life and the good news of the God who has come to get us.

Camp Prayer Requests

So as we get ready to pack it up and head out to Rockbridge, I'd love it if you'd pray for us.

Personal:
*The family will be with me for the first week. This is great, except that the pace is pretty exhausting and Zoe's sleep schedule is not particularly conducive to what one might call a good night's rest for her parents. Davis has also been a little under the weather, so we'd love prayer for health and rest.

Work:
*I'll be directing Small Group Leader Training Camp. Eighty-eight students each week who will all be leading Bible studies back on campus in the fall. Please pray for these students to be open and teachable and to be well-equipped for their work in the fall.

*I'll be working with a staff team in our track of about twelve each week. Pray for us as a team, for the speakers who will be teaching about various aspects of leading a small group, and for responsiveness to the Spirit as we work with students who have different needs, different levels of confidence, and different natural abilities in leadership.

This morning I was reading in Mark 3 (we'll be studying the Gospel of Mark all week in camp) and Jesus was talking about binding up the strong man to plunder his house. It was fun to pray that over the next two weeks we might plunder the strong man's house together as students are in Scripture and are trained to be co-plunderers with the Spirit in the fall. Pray for happy plundering!

Talk with you all in a couple weeks. Enjoy Macon!
