Well, students are on Spring Break this week. That means I've been filling my schedule with meetings and paperwork and gearing up for the last 2 months of school. We're praying for some pretty amazing things to happen at Hamline by the end of the school year, and here's a few things to be praying for:

-Leadership - There's some opportunities for new Bible studies starting up in the next few weeks and also we'll begin the process of clarifying what responsibilities students will take on next year.

-Outreach - With the nicer weather coming, there will be plenty of opportunities to reach out to the campus. Please pray for wisdom as we decide what the best ways are to do that and also for openness from students as we invite them to participate and see that there are Christians at Hamline.

-Training - Students have the opportunity to attend a week of Chapter Camp the week after school finishes. It's a time where students from all over the Midwest come together for training and worship at a camp in Michigan. Please be in prayer for any students who are considering whether or not to attend.

One other note on Chapter Camp: If any of you in the Twin Cities know of any good fundraising opportunities, please let me know. We're looking to raise some money so we can offer some scholarships to students. Even if it's coming over and cleaning up your yard after the snow melts, that's fine. We won't shy away from manual labor.

As always, thank you so much for your prayers and support. It's a real blessing to know that I have so many people joining me in this ministry...aka the coolest job ever.
