Settling In

I moved back into my apartment in West Chester last Saturday (Aug. 22). It's great to be back. Monday through Friday of this past week I had staff meetings with the rest of the WCU Crusade staff. We worked through our strategic plan for the year, training materials, coaching, discipleship, and plenty of other details. I am part of a great team and I am really looking forward to working along side them this year!

The freshmen moved in on Friday, and the upperclassmen started moving back in yesterday. I was able to catch up with a few students and meet a few others, which was nice. Classes start tomorrow. The first week on campus will be a pretty busy one. We are hosting a Freshman Welcoming BBQ on Monday, doing outreach with water ice Tues.-Thurs., and Thursday night we have our 1st Cru meeting of the new school year. I am excited to get this year started and am looking forward to what God is going to be doing on this campus this year!

August Update

Hey all! I just wanted to take this time to say "Thank you," again, for all of your support (financially, prayerfully, and emotionally) throughout the whole support raising process. It is amazing to see how God carried me through this and used this experience to grow me and my faith. As mentioned in my last post, I am now officially a fulltime intern with Campus Crusade for Christ at West Chester University for the year. I am really excited to begin my internship and am looking forward to what God is going to do in West Chester this year. Tomorrow, (8/10), I am heading to Valley Forge for my first Cru staff conference. Next Monday (8/17), I am heading to Raystown Lake for our West Chester Univ. Crusade leadership retreat till the 20th. Should be a great time! After that it's time to head back to WC for the school year. Thank you for your continued prayers!

West Chester Bound . . .

Hey everyone!

Quick update, busy week with MCAT on Wednesday and all. The tentative deadline for raising support, as I mentioned in previous posts, was yesterday. Today, I recieved $3075! Praise the Lord. I then spoke with my regional director for Campus Crusade for Christ and he informed me that I have obtained sufficient support to become a fulltime intern! I still am in need of approx. $3000 for the year, though. So now I am off to Valley Forge, August 10th-14th, and then heading to West Chester after that. It's crazy how things come together and God works things out! But that's all I have time for, for now. Thank you all for your prayers and financial support! It is all greatly appreciated! Stay tuned . . . More to come.

Rico - This one goes out to you, bro! Great job sticking with it and trusting God to provide. Thanks for your prayers. See you in Valley Forge!!
