Laborers for the Harvest

When [Jesus] saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." Matthew 9:36-38

God has answered that prayer in part by raising up these committed students. These men and women are the Navigators Student Leadership Team at UCCS. I depend on them a ton and God is using them to make things happen! For example, we just had to move to a new room for our Nav weekly meeting because we outgrew our last one. Again this week we had a bunch of new people who came to our Nav meeting!

Would you pray for these students? Ask God to instill in them the vision, passion and skills to serve Him for the rest of their lives.

UCCS Navs Enjoy Rocky Mountain Retreat

Fifty students and staff from UCCS joined 500 other Navigators from New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming. Our students LOVED being together in Estes Park, CO for our regional Navigators fall retreat. We heard great messages by Tom Yeakley to motivate and challenge us to live by faith in God's Word. We have seen phenominal growth this year and are grateful that God has allowed us the privilege of being a part of it all.

If you'd like to pray for us, would you pray that God would raise up more student leaders? We believe that's what the Navs at UCCS are about - Asking "the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest." Matthew 9:38

I'll be home for Christmas

Yea - All of the kids are coming home for Christmas!

This has been a different experience for us this year. Not only do we have three married children, but two of them are farther away than we've ever had to experience. John and his new bride Melissa will be joining us from Florida. Joy and her husband Joe will travel from California.

Of course we are grateful that Kristi and her husband Jens, as well as David and Paul will all travel from Fort Collins (about 2 hour drive). Amy will be so glad that there will be more than just "old people" to talk to.

All of us gathered for Joy and Joy's Wedding in July.
