greek life update

I have been meaning to update about last weekend and give a summary on our first year of Greek Life ministry. We ended off the school year by having our guys Jordan and Drew, their girlfriends Maggie and Lauren, and their friend Charlie over for a BBQ and a few rounds of putt-putt golf last Saturday. It was a really great time and so encouraging. The guys are getting an apartment together next year and we are going to try and have the weekly Bible study there. I am going to join them in the fall as hopefully the girls will as well. They are very sweet and I am excited to get to know them better. Drew is staying here for the summer and Matt is going to meet one-on-one with him, which will be awesome for both. Justin reports that the guys have made tremendous progress this year. Please continue praying for all of them as you can imagine some of the issues that they come up against every day... pray for a desire for God to be strongest in their hearts, and for boldness with their friends.

I got to see Tina the other day which was great as always! I'm looking forward to seeing her more regularly in the fall when hopefully the girls will be around more. She has such an awesome perspective on things. For those of you who don't know Tina, she is kind of our "consultant" for Greek Life. She started a very successful Greek Life ministry at Central Michigan after becoming a Christian in college and having a huge heart to reach her sorority sisiters. She is a totally godly woman and is so awesome!

Anyhow... ending the year on such a positive note was great. I also, surprisingly, won at mini-golf. That never happens!
