Spring Break!

Hello, friends! 

Today, 5 Columbia College students, 15 Mizzou students, and I will head to Saint Louis for the City Lights Spring Break project.  We are going to spend the next 7 days in one of the greatest cities in the world (in my opinion anyway) learning about God's heart for the poor and the role that we can play in bringing reconciliation to the world. 

Every year City Lights does something amazing in the lives of students.  I've been involved with InterVarsity for 11 years now and I think this is City Lights 8 or 9 for me.  Each year I've seen students lives changed or at least the beginning of the process.  It's a fun week. 

Some would say that getting up @ 6:15 every morning is not a great way to spend your Spring Break.  In many ways, they would be correct.  Still, there is something about being in community and working alongside those who live in the city to heal the city that makes you glad to get up in the morning. 

Friends, please be praying for us this week.  Pray for the students, that God will soften their hearts and give them eyes to see and ears to hear what He has for them.  Pray for us staff, that we will be able to guide the students well and hear from Jesus ourselves.  Pray for the city, that our small contribution will be part of a larger healing process. 

Have an excellent day!
