First of all, Winter camp was incredible! Over 400 students came together to worship God and learn about the Spirit. I have seen so much fruit camp since we've gotten back. I see students actively pursuing the Spirit in their lives, trying to be more aware of Him, and trying to keep in step with Him. I have seen our students become much more spiritually mature; we've had a few open mic activities at our Thursday Night Fellowship since we've gotten back and it has been so encouraging to hear the insights coming of out of these students mouths. Another effect from camp I've seen is stronger and closer friendships among our students. This is so important and one of our biggest goals for camp. We want each student to be plugged into the community and have deep, lasting SPIRITUAL friendships, friends that encourage them, challenge them, and build them up in their faith. I have been so pleased and excited to see that happen this year, and as those progress we will continue to see more and more fruit! Please join me in praising God for showing up and blessing us with another great Winter Camp! It is not our great planning, or speaking, or musical talent that produces those things, but only God! Here is a picture of one of the sessions at Winter Camp:
Another exciting update at Collin is that we just had 3 girls baptized! They all happened to make the decision to be baptized around the same time so we just decided I make a party out of it! I actually had to miss it due to being out of town, but I got to watch a couple videos on Facebook and was so encouraged! I will try to post them on here if I can ever figure out how to do that haha. All of the girls who were baptized went trough the Focus on Jesus study this year, and decided they wanted without a doubt to be radical, fired up disciples of Jesus! What could be better?? Here is a picture of all the girls and the person who studied with them:
You might recognize Ally in the middle from some previous posts. I got to study with and baptize Ally her freshman year and this year she has stepped up tremendously. She studied with Paige (to the right) this year and baptized her. That's the vision! Fruit producing more fruit!
All three of the girls who were baptized just the other night are eager to study the bible with someone else. One has already started studying with another student at Collin! How exciting! Praise God and keep praying for and joining us in going after more workers and more fruit! God is good and so faithful!!
I hope you are encouraged by what's going on at Collin, YOU are a part of it!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
