This Saturday night will be an epic journey!
The culmination of our 9-week Biblical manhood class, called Noblemen, is an all-night ceremony which takes place in the Rincon Mountains outside of Tucson. Nineteen students, mostly freshmen, each of whom have attended every session, will be undergoing an event designed to be the capstone of everything they have learned. This can be a very important event in the lives of the men in our ministry!
Please pray:
1. For Dustin and I as we finish off this program in the midst of a busy time of year (Dustin just got engaged a few weeks ago).
2. For all the details to fall into place well.
3. For the guys attending--for endurance and learning hearts.
4. Pray for heart change in the men who are undergoing the ceremony! We want this to be something God uses to bring spiritual maturity.

Richard is a Tucson native who became a Christian in high school through a friend. When we met him, he was hungry to grow but very young in his faith. His whole family is Catholic in a cultural way, the way many Hispanic families are in Tucson.
This past week, Richie's father decided to leave his wife. Although this may or may not be a permanent decision, it has rocked Richie's whole family.
Pray for Richie:
1. Pray for comfort and a clear sight of God's goodness.
2. Pray that this would strengthen Richie's faith and cause him to rely more on God.
3. Pray for his mother and father, that God would use Richie to introduce them to the love of Jesus.

On finishing well...
Strangely enough, the school year's end is only five weeks away! It is crazy how fast the second semester goes. Here we are already on the homestretch!
With only five weeks left to input into the relationships God has given me this year, I really want to use my remaining time wisely. Sometimes, these last few weeks can significantly effect the attitude of a student going into his summer. My heart for my guys is that these last few weeks would lay a foundation for a summer of growth and intimacy with Jesus!
Pray for the following:
1. For diligence and wisdom in my relationships.
2. For two of my guys, I am devising discipleship schemes that will change each week. Pray for creativity and good communication.
3. Most of all, pray that God would capture the hearts of the guys in my life: Justin, Jon S., Jon M., Tyler, Colton, Danny, David, Matt, Richard, and Ryan!
