Tomorrow is a HUGE DAY!!!
It’s race day. that’s right everyone…tomorrow is the big race we mentioned here.
I was talking to someone from the church in New Mexico today just to try to get an update on where they were in raising the money they needed to help support the church in Watts. I’m gonna be honest, i was a little disappointed…their only at $3400. That’s $100 short of 1/2 way.
PLEASE consider how you, your youth groups, or churches can support this amazing ministry. I know we’re all trying to do what we can fundraising wise to raise money for our own groups…but I’m asking you to join me in helping support these guys. We actually just gave 10% of our last fundraising event to the project…it was only like $100…but it helped my students and church understand that LIFE 2007 isn’t only about us. God’s got a plan for every student there…
You can still donate. Go here to find out how.
I’ll try to give you guys an update as soon as i hear. Hopefully Kent will recover quick enough to come to LIFE;)
Good luck guys…we’re praying for your safety and stamina~

hey guys,
my wonderful informational trip to orlando for LIFE comes to an end today and it’s back to cold snowy NJ tomorrow. i know it probably sounds weird being that it’s like 85 degrees and sunny here, but i can’t wait to get home.
i had NO IDEA how much goes into pulling off an event like LIFE. there are at least 50 people here who all have different roles in making sure everything comes together. it’s so much more planning than i ever imagined.
with the realization of how much “stuff” there is to do, it really makes me stop and see the importance of prayer. i’m not just talking about for the folks who pull this event off, but for everyone who is preparing to come. it’s without a doubt the most important thing we can do.
as crazy as it sounds, i’d love to be able to have people praying for those who are coming. instead of leaving a witty comment (which i love:)), i’d love for you to leave some prayer requests in relation to what you’re dealing with in preparation for LIFE … something that the rest of us coming to LIFE can really battle with in prayer for you and your group. i also encourage you to join the prayer team mailing list. we’ll send out occasional e-mails, listing items for you to lift up to God in prayer.
leave your requests and do everything you can to check back on this post to see what you can be praying for as often as the Lord leads you~~
