Quo Vadimus...

Hello, friends! 

One show that I enjoyed very much that I thought was cancelled much too soon was the show "Sports Night" from back in the day.  It was a "dramedy" type show that followed the behind the scenes work of a SportsCenter type show in New York.  As with all Aaron Sorkin material, it was fast paced, witty, and a little bit snarky, which I loved.  Critics loved it but apparently viewers were less than thrilled and it only lasted 2 seasons. 

My love for Sports Night, thankfully on Netflix, really doesn't have much to do with this post, except that the show taught me the latin phrase "Quo Vadimus," which apparently means, "where are we going?" 

Today is the first Large Group for ACF of the year.  The question, "Quo vadimus" is what is on my mind as we prepare for the new year. 

Where are we going?  Where have we been?  How does where we've been reflect how where we're going?  The truth is that in my 6 years here, many things have changed but many things have also stayed the same.  We used to meet in a student's apartment; now we meet in a church just off campus.  We started with 5 students and now we have close to 40.  All of our "original" ACFers have now graduated.  We now have a new crop of students. 

But, things have also stayed the same.  We are still about outreach through community.  We are still about reaching the Asians and Asian Americans on campus with the Gospel.  We are still about eating delicious food and having fun with each other.  We still are way outnumbered gals to guys.  =0). 

Here's the thing.  Where are we going?  The truth is that we're going the same place we've always been going.  We are following Jesus to reach out to Mizzou's campus.  That is what we've always done and what we will continue to do.  There is certain comfort in knowing that some things haven't changed and that the more they change, the more they stay the same. 

Prayer Points:
- Today is Large Group number 1!  Please pray that the Spirit will move through me as I speak to our group and get us ready for the new semester. 
- Things are really starting to get moving at Columbia College.  Please pray for Charis as she continues to do the on the ground work there and that we will have good vision moving forward.

Have an excellent day!
