And we're off!

We have officially been back in Raleigh for a month now and we have managed to pack quite a bit in the those 30 days! We went with NC State and UNC on their respective leadership retreats...one was in Myrtle Beach and the other Wilmington, hosted out of town guests who came to help us with the retreats, retreived the dog from my sister's house in Gastonia, hosted 28 of our SV volunteers for dinner, moved Allison back to college, started school with Mark and Luke and I (Alisa) went on a 3 day getaway with a girlfriend! Kevin and I both feel we are getting too old to keep up this kind of pace!

We continued to be amazed at the wonderful, Godly students that the Lord has raised up to be a part of the ministry of Student Venture. We realize that it is only the Lord and not anything that we have done! We are just thankful that we get to have a small part in seeing God work here to reach high school students for Him!

Here is a picture of the volunteer dinner at our house:





Each team is praying about and planning how to meet students and share with them about Student Venture and how they can know God in a personal way. Would you please pray that they would have boldness to step out in faith and then obedience to follow Christ each step of the way? Also, please pray for them as they balance their time with school work and ministry.
