What a Catalyst!!!

Hello, friends! 

After 2 weeks in BEAUTIFUL Roach, MO, I am back with stories to tell!  There are so many stories that I can hardly contain myself.  So, I will give you a few quick hits then my thoughts on the week as a whole: 

- 13 Mizzou students attended Catalyst.  Each one said that God met them in a real and powerful way. 
- One of our Mizzou students made a significant decision to follow Jesus! 
- Two of our Mizzou students made public professions of faith during our Witness Celebration on Friday night. 
- Chapter time was amazing.  Our student leaders did an incredible job leading the groups, even organizing a fast for the group to do together. 
- Every Mizzou student there made commitments to keep each other in prayer and in preparation for the upcoming school year.  Some are going to be doing prayer walks.  Others will be fasting regularly.  All of them made a commitment to think of some way to share their faith with those back home. 

Honestly, this was one of the best Catalysts I have had the pleasure of staffing from a Mizzou standpoint.  It was actually one of our smallest groups in recent years, but they were the RIGHT students there.  In previous years, we would have so many students that little factions would begin to form during meals and free time.  This year, everyone stuck together and everyone made an effort to get to know each other and build community. 

My highlight absolutely was the students leaders though.  Tim, Paula, Danny, and Jordan did such a great job of facilitating and making sure that everyone was included.  They asked great questions and were thinking the entire time about how to bring this all back to campus.  It was a beautiful thing to behold. 

Prayer points:
- Pray for momentum this summer.  Catalyst has the potential to be just that, but it means that students have to make good on their commitments. 
- Pray for me as I prepare to plan for the summer.  Pray that God will give me good direction with where ACF is and where it needs to be. 

Have an excellent day!
