The Last 3 Weeks

Besides adding a baby to the family, Curt has been extremely busy on campus. Since starting school, the staff team have:

• set up tables on campus for a week to make themselves known
• held a weekly meeting every Wednesday night to share with students they met about what Lifelines is
  
• met several times with our catalyst, or leadership team, to really start the balls rolling
• held several different outdoors events to take students on
• started Friday fun, where we do something different every Friday that students can bring their friends to
• started their weekly meetings together. The staff team meets everyday, Tues.-Fri., to pray and strategize

So, Curt is gone every morning by 8:30. He takes the time after the meetings to prepare for the day, whether that's shopping for food for the next event, gathering/organizing equipment for an outing, etc. He's had meetings either in the evenings or afternoons with students almost daily. This last week was exhausting as he led almost everything. Wednesday night he led a storying time with students (some believers, some unbelievers) and talked about truth and grace. Thursday night I helped lead a meeting in which I did the story of Philip and the Ethiopian for the devotional. Friday, Curt took students out bouldering for Friday fun. Saturday, he led the outing and took a group climbing for the day. Sunday he was beat!
Continue to pray for him as he will now be following up with some students we took paint-balling. Some of them indicated they were interested in having a relationship with God. They are all RA's in the same hall and a lot of his focus will be on that hall (where 1/3 of the freshmen live!). He will also start attending the weekly meeting of Prism, the Gay/Lesbian/bisexual group on campus. Pray for inroads with them. Thanks!
