FCA Weekly Prayer List
- School has finally started at UCSB! We definitely start late, being on the quarter system! I’ll now be on campus most every morning, meeting with students (usually at the Starbucks!) Please pray for those individual times with students … it’s the heart and soul of what I love to do!
- Westmont has started their own FCA Huddle, which I had the opportunity to attend on Monday night! It’s awesome to see these athletes get excited about the ministry they can have, even on a Christian campus. As much as is feasible, we’d like to do some combined events with this group, so pray for our ideas and directions. They have a very strong student leadership group, as well as an awesome adviser (my housemate - Kristen McKnight).
- As Erin McGrath and I work on the early planning of the 2008 FCA camp, there are SO MANY things to pray for! We have some key staff positions that we are currently unclear how to fill. We also have some huge financial needs as it relates to Camp (both in paying the remaining bills in 2007 and planning for 2008). We’re excited about all God seems to be doing, but also moving cautiously to be sure we are following God’s lead, rather than get out in front of Him. Please pray for our weekly discussions (Wednesday mornings) and our discernment!
- This Thursday bright and early (6:20 am!) I will begin a book study with the female volunteers of the UCSB Huddle. We are reading Divine Secrets of Mentoring: Spiritual Growth through Friendship. I can’t tell you how important the relationships of these women are to the athletes at UCSB! We want to catch an even great vision of how God can use simply our friendships in the lives of these college athletes! You can also pray that we are able to get up early enough! I’m thankful these volunteers are willing to be creative with their schedules, child care, etc to make this a priority!
- Our Camp Office staff (including myself) has a meeting with an FCA friend on Friday. This woman has blessed our ministry financially, and our prayer is we could bless her as we thank her and continue to share the ministry of FCA with her! Please pray for that time!
Thanks for your prayers!
