The Bible study that started last semester with four students had 11 people at it last night. This is interesting to me because I was perfectly content with just four, and I haven't done anything to try and expand it. It has just happened. These are the guys that God wants me to work with!
Here are three things to pray this week:
1. Would you pray that my guys would make faithful decisions about their summers? I am hoping a few will come to STPs, a few on missions trips, etc. But no matter what they do, I want them to do it by faith!
2. Would you pray for good fellowship and times in the Word during our Spring Break trip next week?
3. Would you pray that I would have good wisdom in addressing a tough issue in one of the Berean's life this week? It is an uncomfortable one, but after some prayer, I feel God calling me to address it. Pray also that he would have a receptive heart.

One thing that has been challenging in the last few weeks is the need to change the location of our Spring Break trip. Our original plan was to go to Mexico to work at my parent's church--a trip that I had been looking forward to all year. But sadly, we had to change this because of the recent violence in Mexico. Apparently there are many liability issues at stake, and because the students are still under their parent's authority (unlike a church trip), we were encouraged to cancel the trip. This decision was especially hard for me because of my close friendship with the church, and of course the fact that my parents are also involved.
Not to mention the fact that this decision came only three weeks before Spring Break. Now we are scrambling to put together a trip. We have decided to go to the Grand Canyon.
I know that God is still sovereign over our Spring Break! Pray:
1. For Emily and I as we spend a lot of time planning for this trip.
2. For all the details to fall into place.
3. That God would accomplish his purposes through this trip!

I am tired tonight. I have felt a little fatigued lately. There has been missing from my communion with God some of the sweetness and ease.
This is a busy time of year. Last week I was in Florida, helping my campus director to train some of the Navigator staff. I have another trip planned for this weekend. In a few weeks, I have my spring break trip. I am trying to lead well the guys God has given me.
I need Jesus, not only to sustain me in my ministry, but to sustain me moment-by-moment.
Would you pray:
1. That God would refresh me in the Word and in prayer.
2. For the strengthening presence of the Spirit in all I do.
3. For new depths of intimacy with Jesus.
