update

Well, Joanna and i are back from a fairly exhausting week away at training in Madison and La Crosse and all over the state. It was good week. We got a lot done, saw lots of people, and i even had time to get a deer. Now it's back to campus work. Our numbers at large group are getting lower, but that doesn't concern me much. It seems like the students who are really involved with Crusade are sticking to that instead of trying to attend both Cru and IV, and that is a good thing, even if it doesn't look good on reports.
This coming week at large group we are having a prayer and praise night to pray for friends who do not know the Lord, and encourage one another to tell them the Good News. I am looking forward to it. We are going through a paradigm shift in our way of thinking about campus ministry at Stevens Point, and it is a trying but exciting time. Instead of re-creating church on campus, we are beginning to see ourselves as an evangelistic extension of the local church, whose purpose is to, by the power of God, seek and win the lost and build up the Church.
I got to sell a bit of fur today to make some "fun money" that Joanna and i can do whatever we want with. In case anyone is wondering, the fur prices are down again this year. Sold 2 coons - $5 and $3, and the deer hide was $2, but it was starting to get old. Paid for gas, anyway.
