Once again, the Randolphs’ and their Growth Group did a fantastic job hosting this year’s Super Bowl Outreach Party. I was encouraged both by the attendance as well as the number of guests. Michael Anderson, Luke Griffey, and Morgan Wade clearly shared why Jesus is important to them. All of the students heard the Gospel and had a chance to respond. Please pray for the spiritual seeds that were planted, and for students as they follow-up with their friends. You can see more pictures here.

I have to admit, I love a good road trip, which is why I enjoyed our Christian College Trip last week so much. Our upperclassmen got to visit five schools. While on the road, we had plenty of opportunity to talk about our futures, and what God has in store for us.

Cans for Good: Last Thursday a number of our students collected hundreds of nonperishable food items. These will be distributed to families in need. It’s exciting to see our teens fulfilling the commands of Christ by helping others

This past weekend our SLAM (Student Leadership and Ministry) Team had our annual retreat at Stony Glen. It was a wonderful time of playing, planning, and praying. I’m proud of our student leaders who want to help their peers find and follow Jesus Christ!
