I love our group and the opportunity to get together. We had a great time fellowshipping together.

student led bible study and upcoming party

Tuesday my friend Lisa and I had a great time at the Columbus Zoo.


Thursday night we had our first student led Bible study. The turnout was excellent, starting with eight and ending with about twelve. We read about John the Baptist in John chapter 1 and had a lively discussion. Afterward I went to check out the intervarsity meeting on campus while David found the linux user's group and then joined another group of students to learn a new card game. The intervarsity students were very friendly and welcoming and I had a great opportunity after the meeting to chat with leaders from both the general undergrad group and the Asian group.

Because next Thursday is a holiday and off campus students have no other reason to be on campus, we have decided to have a fun night on Wednesday and take Thursday off. We're looking forward to the chance to chill together in a less structured and more informal setting.

1st ACF Social!!

SUCCESS!! God is good! We had our first social on campus and a good part of our core group showed and we played pool and ping pong and then went with a group out to Pizza. There was about 10 people that came and by the end of the night we had a group about 18. :) I just walked up to anyone and everyone that I saw and they were excited to join and hang out. Afterwards a group of 12 of us went out to eat, which half of them were people I met tonight. It is so amazing to be able to meet people and have such a wonderful night with new people. :) This is what this job is all about, building relationships and simply being there for people and being a positive group that they can spend time with. :)

The Calling

Why would someone become a public campus chaplain? Do you realize how difficult that job is? I have to admit - I didn't!

I (sometimes) think it is tough to be a minister in a church - an established congregation. Then I think what it would be like to start a group "from scratch" - which is essentially what we are asking these teams to do. More than that, however, they are building a community of young adults - people whom our society has declared as "dead" to religion. Add to that - their budget to do these monumental tasks is negligible.

What I have witnessed is the power of the Holy Spirit - because only God could be behind something as audacious as this! Already (just a few months in) I see college students excited to be part of this ministry.

I still see the challenges - but more than these I see the opportunity for more people to realize that we ALL are called to ministry. We all have chances to form friendships, to use our blessings for the good of someone else, and to share our relationship with Jesus through our actions. Please join me in praying for each of the teams - and in humbling asking God what crazy challenge He has for each of us!

No Fright Night @ Kettering Church

Our Church has this wonderful Halloween "No Fright Night" I participated in decorating a trunk for trick or trunk treating :) There were some ACF group members that attended and it was an awesome COLD time! :)

Filming!

So, the Wright State ACF group started it's first shooting for the short film we want to get out about Wright State. :) It's an intense camera and I took some time to learn a little about it and we interviewed about 5 people on Wednesday. We have so much to do and I'm teaching myself so it'll be awhile, but I can't wait to show you all!

Methodist Christian Group Meeting

Hey everyone,

I went to the Methodist Christian Group meeting this last week with some Intervarsity people and one of our ACF members. It was a great worship to meet some wonderful people. :) I also went out for a couple lunches with different people. Our group is doing great. We met three new people this last week. It's very exciting! It's been a great week :)

Some wonderful people from the Ignite worship ----->
