So, for the novice college ministry onlooker- let me tell you one major thing- There is no time like the Fall to push, and to push some more and when you feel like you can't push anymore- you keep on pushing! The month of September and most of October is what we coin "Fall Push!" There is this window of time when students are new, everyone has time on their hands, and every freshman is looking for something to give their life to- and it lasts about 2 weeks! The goal in these 2 weeks is to gather, gather, gather! We have an incredible team of people that have had their lives changed by Jesus during college and they desire to see this passed on to those in their classes, dorm rooms, and work environments. Enter: College Leadership Team!
At the beginning of every year (pre-push) we take some time away with our leaders after a summer away and get together for a time of re-invisioning, refreshment and fun! This year, for the 3rd year in a row we visited the little blue cottage in Limington, Maine for 3 days of fun with some of my favorite 18 people on the planet! We worshiped our hearts out, prayed for God to come in our city, and planned for a great fall! I think each person walked away with specific goals and dreams for their campus, their faith group and the students God has called them to invest in!
Here are some snapshots from the weekend! Let me just tell you- I am blessed to get to work with the most committed, hungry, passionate & deep students! They are going to change the world- no doubt in my mind!
