RADIATE.2011—Be Free

Every New Year, I have the wonderful opportunity to worship into the New Year with hundreds of students from the mid-atlantic region. This year 937 students from Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey gathered in the Baltimore Inner Harbor to develop their relationships with Jesus through fellowship, training, worship and prayer.

 Pastor Jackson Crum, Claude Hickman and Roger Hershey all spoke on the topic “be free”. In and through their teaching, felt God challenge me to give a detailed testimony, known as a “soul to soul”, to the women involved at Kean Cru. Little did I know this time, which included my sister, developed a greater feeling of freedom within the women to be open and honest about where God has convicted them of sin. Since that night, I’ve been able to privately meet with several of these women and encourage them, as Paul did in Ephesians 5:8, to walk as children of light.

One of the great things about conferences like these is that I am able to reunite with the students I worked with this past summer at Hampton Beach, NH Summer Project. It was really encouraging to see the women from Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia & North Carolina persevering and “running the race.”

Prayer Requests:
Students are returning to full class and work schedules. Please pray they are able to prioritize their time so that they are honoring God in it all. (You can read about their planning time at Tecumseh in my last blog)

Kean’s Spring Break is different from the rest of the state. Typically we (Jersey Metro) have a missions trip this week. Please pray that I will be able to plan according to God’s will.

Trusting God with my finances and time can be difficult when in full-time ministry. Please pray that I apply wisdom to do so as I plan my schedule.
