Something I painted Valentine's Day

God has been lavishing His relentless love upon me every week this month! We sang a song in the church I grew up in (Patmos Fellowship) that describes my heart all month: “I just keep falling in love with Him over and over again. He get’s sweeter and sweeter as the days go by. Oh what a love between my Lord & I. I keep falling in love with Him over and over again!” To those of you who have been faithfully praying for me and seeking to encourage me—THANK YOU!

Candy Grams!

Each year, the staff encourage students from around the state to partner with each other in ministry beyond their schools. We call this a “campus cross-over event” and the purpose of this event is to encourage students to recognize they all have a common goal now and when they graduate: To take the state for Christ!

This year, Farleigh Dickinson University (FDU) invited Kean University and County College of Morris to make “candy grams” together. The students gathered at FDU   with printed scripture to cut out and candy to pack into small bags. They prayed together and learned new things about one another before working together to share God’s love with those who don’t yet know Him .
