Hello Prayer Partners!

YEAH! Uh huh, you know what it is...Basileia Basileia Basileia Basileia =D

Yes, it is indeed that time of the year again. This year, I have the privilege of being at camp for 3 weeks to be with Intervarsity students of NY/NJ as they attend a conference called Basileia. For those of you who don't know, Basileia is IV's summer leadership and discipleship training for students in our region. Basileia is Greek for “kingdom”—the kingdom of God! We’ve named our summer training Basileia because we want students to deepen their knowledge of Jesus Christ as King and improve their capacity to be His ambassadors on campus. In addition, this training points beyond college as they will settle in communities, participate in churches and enter the marketplace as kingdom people who make a world of difference.
With that in mind, will you join together with me to pray for students for this coming 3 weeks. (5/13-6/2).
Please pray for:
  • Safety in traveling (it is ~300 miles from Newark)
  • Spiritual & Physical well being of staff, volunteers and students (my allergies have been worse than usual this year)
  • For God to reveal himself as students from all over NY/NJ come to camp each week
  • For me as I lead student leaders of Newark for the first time (on my own!) in program planning for the academic year of 2011-2012
In other News: there is a new donation website! If you have a profile with the old website, it should still work with the new one (mine worked). If you need any help with setting it up, please do not hesitate to ask. Speaking of donations...I am currently still about $10,000 short of my fiscal year goal. Please continue to pray for my support and fund raising. If you would like to make a donation now, you can click here and donate today!
