SPRING BREAK TRIP
Today, 45 Arkansas State students are heading to Panama City Beach for our Spring Break trip (swipe for pics from last year)! We’re so excited—this has become such a meaningful and fun week for our group.
This trip is all about fellowship, deeper conversations, and just enjoying time together. Looking back, last year’s trip was a turning point for many students getting connected to the ministry. It’s also a special time for Brittany and me to slow down, sit on the beach, and really talk with students without the usual rush. Every year, we see students take steps of faith—committing to summer mission trips, engaging in meaningful Gospel conversations, and opening their lives to others. Can’t wait to see what this week holds!
Also, a ton of the fraternities from ASU take their trips to PCB as well and are staying within a mile from us. It gives us an easy opportunity to invite them to our place to come play volleyball, spike ball or even to the devotional times on the beach in the morning.
Please pray that the Lord would go before this trip!
-Pray that everyone would be safe on the way down and during the trip.
-Pray that students would get connected to the ministry and build deeper friendships that would transfer back to the campus.
-Pray for opportunities for deep conversations in both evangelism and sharpening/encouraging conversations with believers.
-Pray for a ton of fun!
-Pray that some of the lost students who are on fraternity trips to PCB would come hang out with us during the day. And that they would be dissatisfied with the things of the world and "taste and see that the Lord is good".

Please pray for the students and student leaders who attended the recent spring retreat held last weekend outside of Memphis. That they are encouraged and refueled in Christ and enjoying Him more deeply.
God to continue placing the Great Commission on the hearts of our students.

Please pray for the Christians that recently attended NatCon (staff and student) in Chattanooga, TN that they would take what they learned and apply it as they go back to campus!
Please pray for the non-believers that attended NatCon to decide to follow Jesus at all costs!

Prayer Requests:
-New Years Conference-we currently have 61 students signed up to go with us to Chattanooga for our winter retreat Jan 1-4. There will be around 3,000 total students there from multiple campuses. Pray-that more students from our campus would sign up-we are praying for around 20 more to sign up! And pray that students would come to faith at the conference and our students who are in Christ would come back loving Jesus more and living for Him wholeheartedly.
-Pray for our summer mission trips-we are in the process of solidifying our leadership for next summer at both our Orlando Project and 2-month team to South Africa.
-Pray for my family and our staff team to get rest-both physically and spiritually this break!
7/26/2023 - We are currently in Orlando closing out of Orlando Project. We have around 100 students down here from 8 different schools. This week we are helping them prepare to go back to their campus and apply what they have learned these past 8 weeks down here! Pray that our students would leave project with a tangible love and joy for Jesus. Pray that they would be full of vision to go back and reach their campus with the Gospel!
