Over the "Break"

Our work in campus ministry follows a different sort of path. We are, in a sense, on the same schedule as our students. We take life in semesters and follow the ebb and flow of midterms, exams, and then a nice, long break. Of course, while the students are snuggled warm in their homes, we have a different sort of work to accomplish.

We kicked off the break with a massive push for support-raising. In our efforts to be faithful to God, we spent two full weeks in meetings (and traveling all the way to Richmond!), making phone calls, sending out cards, delivering Christmas yummies, and praying about meeting our support-raising goal. We have continued to hover around 40%-60% of our goal, and would sincerely appreciate the prayers as we ask God to see us through to full support.

Elliott spent a week in service with some other college-aged guys. Each day was spent serving these people in our area: Hope Works, Norristown Community House, Norristown Homeless Shelter, Broad Street Ministries, and City Team.

To see a little bit of the work the guys did that week, please go here. Trust me, the video is work a look!

We also had the opportunity to hear one of our students speak at her church service about the lessons she learned the past semester about the Lord. It was an incredible experience to hear how the Lord has used us, and I wrote a little bit about it in my personal blog.

That's it for now! More frequent updates coming soon!
