The following post is an update on an end of the year support letter I sent out. My monthly partners did not receive this letter but I still wanted to share this good news with you all!
December 2010
As the fall semester is coming to a close, I’m grateful for the prayers and support I’ve received from people all over the country. Your prayers are powerful and effective and I want to say thank you.
At the start of the semester I had no experience in leading a bible study. I expected to be eased into leading a small freshman study. God had different plans! Seeing the need for upperclassmen and freshmen study leaders I stepped out in faith and was willing to be used by God. These bible studies have been astonishing. The men in both studies come faithfully each week to go deep and have their lives changed by the gospel. I have developed some great relationships with these men and I’m thankful that the Lord put it on my heart to lead both studies.
Many times I have felt inadequate in my leading but I constantly have to remind myself that I am not the leader; God leads by His Spirit and we all follow.
“…apart from me, you can do nothing.” -John 15:5

Here is a picture taken in October of the Sophomore Studs! We studied The Pursuit of Holiness by Jerry Bridges. It was challenging to myself to grow in the Holiness that the Lord calls us to and I am praying that it continues to challenge these sophomore men for the rest of their lives. I've been praying for them over the Christmas break. Will you join me in prayer that these men pursue holiness; that they return to study this semester; and that I will be used by Jesus to lead these young men into a deeper relationship with Him?
For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. -1 Thessalonians 4:7
