Here is my March prayer letter to supporters of the ministry. Enjoy!
'The students are back from Spring Break and already you can feel the countdown to and anticipation of summer. It is said that spring is a difficult time for any program that involves youth and young people because they’re often out involved in new activities of the season. This seems true for h2o like everyone else, but on the other hand (like my last letter expounded upon), I sense the strong foundation of a deep commitment from many of our leaders in particular. These are the ones willing to step up and stick it out for whatever task to which they are called. These are the ones I really look forward to seeing and meeting with EARLY on Wednesday morning (6:30 AM) for leadership discussion and prayer. They’ve been very helpful during our current large-scale event, March Madness at the Waterhouse, taking shifts for the many NCAA tournament games we’re showing (go Mountaineers) and inviting their friends out. We’re looking forward to seeing more students coming to watch basketball at our building now that school is back in session. Please keep praying for this event, as it can be a great ‘foot in the door’ for many students and just a fun environment to get to know someone. Pray that we keep inviting people and keep utilizing this opportunity to show kindness.
Spring Break gave Sarah and I the opportunity to take a fun little trip: we went down to Wilmington, NC for a few days. I know some of you live down in that area and I hope we get to visit with you at least once this summer, for we are going to be living there for 10 weeks! That’s why we went, just to ‘scope out’ the town and become at least a little familiar with major roads and locations. Great Commission Ministries provides a ten-week leadership training program (appropriately named LT for Leadership Training) for students, and most GCM employees (like myself) are the people who lead and facilitate during this time. This summer the location WVU is going to is Wilmington (there are at least 3 other LTs
around the U.S. and world that I know of). I’ll write more about LT in next month’s letter. Here we are on the road:
I gave my second message to date at h2o this Sunday, which I enjoy getting to do when Billy asks. We’re following the traditional topic series of the ancient church during the Lenten season leading up to Easter, and my message was on ‘The Call to Repentance.’ Please pray for our last 6 official h2o services of the semester, that we go out with a bang and leave students excited for returning in the fall.
One last thing that I would love some prayer for this month is the upcoming Passion play that Chestnut Ridge Church is producing. As some of you know, I have the great honor and huge responsibility of performing the role of Jesus, and any support in this endeavor is appreciated more than you know. Practices are becoming more often and more intense as we draw very near to the shows: April 5-9. :o)
