On the Personal Side

I'd like to ask for prayer for myself and my family. My father is going into surgery in an hour for a non-complex yet emotionally difficult procedure. At the same time, my mother's uncle passed away on Sunday, and there is a pending police investigation surrounding the circumstances of his death. Please pray that the Lord would comfort my family during this difficult time, particularly giving strength to my mom. She's got a lot to take in and deal with. Thanks guys.

Please pass along anything that I can be praying for on your account as well. After all, it's all part of being a team, and part of the body of Christ.

Up and Running

As I look back on my first several weeks here Chi Alpha at the University of New Hampshire and at Gordon-Conwell, things seem to be going quite well. On the seminary side of things, after much deliberation I'm taking Systematic Theology I, Biblical Greek I, Church History I, and Biblical Global Justice (I'm actually hoping to use the material from this with UNH students next semester).

On the Chi Alpha end things are also great. As I type this I'm on my way to teach my third class on the core beliefs of Christianity. This week I expect to see Christians who know their faith and want to go deeper, grad students and undergrads, a Hindu, Americans, Christians who know nothing of their own faith, Chinese atheists... It's amazing the scope of people that this is impacting! Please take a minute to thank the Lord for all He's done, and ask Him to continue blessing these ventures. Thanks for being part of this with me!
