Another month of God being good! This whole semester our ministry has been going through a simple sermon series on what it takes to follow Jesus. Specifically this month we've talked a lot about vision, and taking on the vision of Christ, both in view of the future and just in how we see things day to day. I feel our students have had a good response to these lessons and are striving to take on Christ's vision more and more.
Last week we had a baptism within our ministry! One of our student leaders had been studying scripture with this girl from the beginning of the year. At one point during their study, the girl ended up walking away from the study because she wasn't ready or willing to give up some of the things she would have to in order to follow Christ. Through a lot of prayer and continuing to speak truth into the girl's life, she came back to the ministry, finished the study, and decided to give her life to the Lord! How exciting! She is now seeking to study with other people and point them to the new hope and truth she has found! Good things are happening and students are making powerful decisions for the Lord. Keep praying for His work in our ministry.
Now I'll leave you with an encouragement, as Paul says in 2 Corinthians, we no longer regard anyone from a worldly point of view. In order to follow Christ our view point must change. Seek to see the world as Christ does! Seek to see your future as Christ does. Christ shouldn't fit into your vision, you're vision should be His vision.
God bless, thanks for all your support, and love you all!!

That's exciting to hear about the girl making that commitment. I think when we struggle to make that decision it can be a good sign that we are truly counting the cost.
