What An Amazing 2 Years

This past weekend UC Davis had its 87th annual Picnic Day. Imagine a huge fair on campus with food booths, games, etc. It is a huge deal for the community here in Davis.

We decided to have a parent’s dessert social in the evening so that the parents could come and see what their students are involved in while they are in college.

I was in charge of a panel of 8 students who answered some questions about their involement in Campus Crusade. I actually picked students from a wide variety of backgrounds. I had freshman, sophomores and juniors on the panel. I had a freshman named Paul share how he had come to Christ as a result of Dave meeting with him at the beginning of the year. I had 2 juniors who have been involved in our group share some of their favorite memories about their involvement in Campus Crusade over the past year and a half. It was so incredible to hear these students share their heart for God and their heart to reach students at UC Davis.

I asked all of them what they are most excited about with our group when they think about next year. They are most looking forward to seeing the campus reached for Christ. Their vision to reach their campus is truly challenging and motivating to Dave and me. We feel so privivleged to wake up each day and share with students how to know Christ, and how to grow in their relationship with Him.

I would have never dreamed 2 years ago when Dave and I moved here how much we wouldhave grown as a group, and how many students we have seen come to Christ.

Thanks for your partnership with us in reaching students. We are so thankful for you and your prayers.

It is hard to believe that we are almost done with our second year here at Davis. As a staff team we are looking to next year and planning for the fall quarter. Please keep us in your prayers as we begin to think and dream about next year. We can’t wait to see what God has in store for us as we step out in faith to share the love of Christ with students.

GOD'S PERFECT TIMING

Well, it is official: Dave and I bought a home! There were times that we thought that we would never see this day arrive!

Over the last few years we found ourselves doubting whether or not God wanted us to move into a home. What He is always teaching us is that His timing is perfect. When we start to doubt and get overwhelmed, we need to trust that His timing if perfect, and that He knows what is best for us.

We moved into our home about a month ago. It is an older home, built in the 60’s, so there are a lot of things that need to be done . But we are so thankful. We truly see this house as a miracle, and a special gift. We are excited about opening up our home and making it a house of ministry to our students and our friends.

Please pray for us as we have many things that we need to do on the home. We are going to put a new roof on in the summer. Pray that we would have enough money to complete the roof by the rainy season in the fall.

PRAISE & PRAYER

Well, it’s that time again! On May 15 Dave and I are headed out to Ocean City, New Jersey to staff the summer project there. We will be gone for 2 months.

We are looking forward to this summer project. We will be taking 6 students from UC Davis with us.

Please pray for these students as they come to the project. Pray that their vision for what God can do on their campus will be strengthened, and that they will have a great time gowing in their relationship with God.
