2015 has begun!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I hope everyone had a good Christmas and New Year, and I pray that 2015 brings joy and peace to you. So far 2015 for me has brought...school. I'm currently sitting in a chair at my friend Jon's house in Grayson, KY because I have a masters class this week (New Testament Research). This has been day 1 of 5 and it was a bit long, but great conversations have been had.

As for things going on with campus ministry, I have not been in Pittsburgh for going on 3 weeks now. I went back to Columbus the 19th for my dad's birthday, then traveled a bit for the holidays around Ohio. It was great being able to spend time with family and friends during my break.

Fall semester ended about 3 weeks ago and spring semester is starting now, but unfortunately I am unable to be there because of class. But the spring semester is bringing a lot of exciting opportunities.

Starting the 11th and the following Sunday nights we (CSF) will be starting a time on campus for anyone to join where we just discuss Jesus. It will be a time of discussion, teaching, and discipleship with the students we have and any other who come.

Also this semester I am starting our men's Bible study on how to be a man in Christ, which I am still working on putting together this week. My prayer is that God will use this as an opportunity to disciple the guys that we have in our group and those outside of it and that they learn what it means to be a man of Christ.

Another thing that the semester is going to bring is Holy Week, where we want to have a week which focuses solely on Jesus. This will be a great chance for growth for our group and the Church as a whole.

Something else I'm working on is a ski trip. Personally I love snowboarding, and there are many places around PA to go skiing and snowboarding and I think it would be a great time with possibly a weekend trip where we could meet up with another CSF in the state. This is a bit harder to put together though, so here's to hoping!

Overall that's all I got going on. If you want more info, have any questions, or just want to chat feel free to call, text, or send an email. Just to let you know, while staying with Jon I don't have service at his place and I'm also in class from 830-5 every day. So if you call leave a message and I'll get back to you when I can!
