I love camp... well actually, I love what God seems to always do at camp. Once again I've see God do amazing things in the lives of students. This summer marks the 20 year anniversary of when I accepted Christ at a Centrifuge youth camp. I know that it is church lingo, but He saved me.
I had no idea at the time that God would continue to bless me by allowing me to work with students and see His work in their lives over and over again. It has been and incredible ride and it is only getting better each day.

Fun Staff - Wacky Staff
I love being on staff at JFBC! Twice a year we have an all-staff day long retreat. Because the student ministry offices are not at the main building, we don't get to see everybody that much, so it is fun to catch up and hang out with folk from the big church. This pic is taken at Berry College and altered by our video guy, Jarrod. Godzilla wasn't really there.

SeventyEight Winter Retreat
On the first night of WR, we headed up to the gym to ride the toilet racers. Basically it is a toilet with a wheel chair motor that you can zip around on. There were five of us on the court at a time all trying to remove each others flags. It was a total blast from start to finish.
Overall, we had a great weekend. The weather was cold, but dry. Wendy, Dillon and Abby were able to come, so we had a good time as a family hanging out with the "big kids".
I know a lot of people think we're nuts for loving what we do, but we love investing our lives in middle school students. They're so much fun and so open to the things of God! I love it!

Women's Retreat & Conclave
Wendy and I are just coming off a great weekend where we were able to teach both at the Southeast Conclave and the Johnson Ferry Women's retreat. We're tired from all of the traveling, but WOW we had a great time.
All of the youth workers/ministers at Conclave were top notch. It was very encouraging to see their hearts for ministering to middle school students. We all agreed that we are truly blessed to be called to work with students.
And, yes... I went to the women's retreat... and yes... I LOVED it! Forget going to a guys retreat out in the woods where you ride four wheelers and shoot things, I want to go back to the Chateau Elan! Not to mention, the ladies were so great in our session on technology. Ladies, if you are reading this, way to go!!! You are on your way to understanding technology.
Wendy and I are truly blessed to get to do what we do.

Edge Conference
Wendy and I are headed off to Gatlinburg, TN this weekend to teach at the Edge conference. I'll be teaching youth workers a session about Responding to the Spiritual Needs of Youth at four different times.
Dillon and Abby are of course totally jazzed about Pappy and Grandy coming to take care of them while we're gone. Wendy and I are of course excited about getting away for the weekend as a couple by ourselves.

DNOW
It is here! DNOW 2006 is this weekend. Things are crazy as we're all trying to deal with last minute details. Pray for students that will attend. We're excited about the students that have signed up, but there are a lot of students out there that need to be here that have not signed up yet. Pray they'll come.

Back from Africa
We're back from Africa. We had an unbelievable time. There is no way I'll be able to adequately tell of all Wendy and I experienced. I'm working on finishing my journal from the trip and will likely post some from it. I'll for sure update pictures at some point. Thanks for praying for us.
