Fall Retreat 2014

Before I kick out a prayer letter, I thought I'd give you a look at our Fall Retreat.

Our prayer goal was 183 people. We had 186.

It was incredible, crazy, overwhelming and powerful. Here's a look in pictures.

We start off with a huge Thanksgiving style dinner

It was Eliza's first retreat!

We have three worship services

Our guest speaker, Dave Megill

The next day we play some crazy games.

One of our freshmen going nuts at four-way soccer.

One of our Community Groups was super excited.

We have baptisms later that day.

Our current Community Group, Aspen, made t-shirts!

Finally, a look at everyone who came!

I can't wait to share more about such a full month in my upcoming prayer letter!

For a full look at the retreat, check out our photo album.

Hey Day

One of our students, Joel, isn't a Mizzou student. He goes to another local college, Columbia College, which is less than a mile away from where I live and is about the same distance north of the MU campus. He saw a need for the gospel at his school of just of 3000 students and pursued launching a bible study that just got started this past Sunday. Recently, he applied for a spot for The Rock at their "Hey Day" event, which is essentially a student activities fair. Joel asked me and another student for some help working the event.

I spent my midday with him and Jacob passing out Icee Pops, handing out information on our church and having great conversations with students at Columbia College. We passed out about fifty flyers for his bible study and we have about as many people to contact about Community Group and church on Sunday.

It was a fun opportunity to help meet a need in a nearby campus. We're thanking the Lord for prompting Joel to reach out to his fellow classmates and I'd ask you to pray with me that the Lord stirs in the hearts of students at Columbia College.

First Service

Just a quick update for you all! We have been working a ton since Move-In Week and the Lord brought 276 people to our first service last weekend! That's over 40 more than our highest attendance ever! We're so pumped. I can't wait to kick a prayer letter out soon but we're still spinning our wheels and hopefully I can get one out early next week.

Thanks for praying with us!

Rock Welcome Video

One of our students, Sarah Bell, created this Welcome Video for our church over the summer. She is a joy to work with and I'm really thankful for her to lend her creative eye and skills for us. Take a look!
