I apologize for my hiatus from this blog, the schedule has remained highly demanding and time has been at a premium like I've never experienced before. We've had some incredible experiences over the last week; particularly in a very challenging men's conference (mentally, physically, and emotionally) last Monday, as well as one of our largest outreaches of the summer called "Battle of the Beach." Over the next couple days I'll be writing about both of these experiences, as well as taking a look back at the support raising process which proved to be a very growing experience in its very own right.

In the meantime I ask you to join me in prayer as we enter a special week of project called "Killing the Giants." During this week every student will be pushing themselves to go over and above the norm to reach as many people as possible. Each student prayerfully set a target for how many conversations they hoped to initiate during the week, and every spare moment will be dedicated to going out to the boardwalk to talk to people. It is understood that what we will be doing this week would be unsustainable for a whole summer, but we will be trusting heavily in God to give us the necessary strength to make it through.

My personal goals for the week are to initiate with 45 different people, and I'm trusting that God will allow me to share the complete gospel to the point of being able the make a decision to follow Christ with 15. Be in prayer that God will be already working in the hearts of those we'll be talking to so that they are ready to hear the good news we have to share. Be also in prayer for the energy and drive of each student who will be taking part in this, as it will be a truly stretching and tiring experience. I can't wait to see how God uses this time!
