A week in the life...

Hey Team! Thank you for praying, we are seeing fruit!

God has been moving and doing amazing things, this is the first morning off I've had in weeks! But Papa is moving.

Friday- Saturday, The last week alone I went with the Wilmington College Chi Alpha Group to a retreat to the retreat house we used to use when I was a student. Ken and Tara Lydy did the vast majority of the planning and did an awesome job. I got to spent time listening to the hearts of our students and just seeing what they have happening in their lives. They learning that there is a deep God who loves them, who is continually showing them His love and who is asking for them to love him. It was powerful. I spoke briefly on prayer in an afternoon session to find that most of our group had literally never prayed out loud. After sharing, I split them off and they went to their own spaces and rooms in the house for about 25 minutes and when they came back you could literally see the weights on their lives disappear. One student returned saying that she felt lighter, another one really excited said that "God did something down there (he was in the basement) I'm freakin' shaken!" It was awesome! Then we made a list of people in our lives who we wanted to come to know the Lord and we all prayed out loud corporately for them. It's been less than a week and we know of 2 people on the list already who've received Jesus as their savior. God is DOING SOMETHING BIG! What a privilege we have to wake up and serve Jesus today.

Sunday- Tuesday, That retreat was followed by a 2 day training/ retreat for the Great Lakes Chi Alpha Staff up in Michigan. It was a great time had by all. Curtis Cole, the Administrative Director for XA, was there and he spoke on Leading from the 2nd chair and that was powerful, creative and insightful. He did an excellent job! The fellowship we experience as ministers in XA is such a beautiful family experience. I love it.

Wednesday, I returned to a day of meeting with students who wanted to get baptized. Followed by sharing with the Wednesday Night Bible Study group at Lebanon Assembly of God (Who are awesome), I felt the Lord in that place and we are all challenged to live a life strategically rooted in sold out commitment to the cause of Christ. I got back to Wilmington about 8:45ish and met with students until about 10:30pmish. One of our students received the Lord as her savior and there was a visual transformation that happened when we prayed. I love when Jesus shows up!

Thursday, I drove to Kettering Medical Center and hung out for the day in the Kettering Mansion where I spent the day in a premarital counselors workshop for clergy. It was awesome, uplifting and great resources! I drove back to Wilmington and shared with a full house on water baptism and then I baptized 4 students while their friends and families surrounded, clapping and cheering like a pep rally.... isn't that how it's supposed to be?! We went back to the Service House on Campus and celebrated with cake, juice, certificates and gifts. It was a great time to be a part of the church. Everyday is.

And then we're back to Friday and I spent the day catching up on paperwork from where I was out... Did I mention the short term teams that were prepared here in the midst of all this... From XA groups all over the nation. We have 2 teams going to Spain, 1 Mexico City, 1 China, 1 Cambodia, 1 Nicaragua, 1 Honduras, 2 to another university to serve... I registered over 150 students this week who will be going into the nations over their spring break... that is awesome!!! pray for fruit!

And today is Saturday... We were supposed to go to the Creation Museum but decided to reschedule for the sake of need for a Sabbath.

God is Good. Thank you for praying... Please keep going!

Love you all,
Katrina
