To the World!

Chances are, as you're reading this, I'm on a plane with our spring break team to West Africa. It's just one of the three teams of students giving up their vacation to learn, serve, and share Jesus' message of hope. I'm always inspired by students' passion to make a difference in the world and this year is no different. We'll be building and doing outreach in the Yucatan, Mexico. We'll be serving alongside an inner-city ministry in the Church Hill neighborhood of Richmond and we'll be learning what it means to share the gospel with those who have never heard in West Africa. I'm excited to see what God does in each of these teams. 



Would you pray for us? We're believing of course for safety and health, but more than that, we're asking that Jesus' love for all the world be permanently stamp on our students hearts!

Unshakeable
 


A few weekends ago our Richmond Chi Alpha community joined the greater region for Winter Retreat, the annual conference-style Chi Alpha retreat. This year did not disappoint! The main speaker, Ouida Bradford shared about how our God is an unshakable God who empowers us to have an unshakable faith. I've heard several testimonies among our students of how God brought truths to heart, brought healing, and strengthened community that weekend. We were able to award several scholarships for these students provided by some of you! Thank you for your generosity; the dividends will be eternal!
Around the House


How is it possible that it is already March?! Our boys are growing faster than I can keep up with! With Sam in high school, Levi in middle school, and Nate bringing up the rear in elementary, we are well represented in our school district. We are so glad they get the opportunities the afforded kids who grow up in a missionary home, and one of those is spending fun weekends with college students who love Jesus. Here, Mike, Sam and Levi share a meal with our students at the Winter Retreat (Nate and Jen stayed home with strep throat!!) We are proud of each of them, the way they are growing and changing, and the way their faith in Jesus is developing.

We are so thankful for your prayers and generosity towards our ministry. Thank you for being a part of what is happening on campus in this way. Students' lives are being changed for eternity, and we are able to do what we do because of God's provision through His people!

Did you know we're on Facebook? We just started a Facebook group to post more regular updates on what's happening in our ministry to students in Richmond, VA. If you're not in the group yet and you'd like to be, click on the thumbs up image to send us an email. We couldn't do this work without each of you investing your prayer and resources so faithfully. Please pray for:
  • The students who recently chose to follow Jesus to grow in their faith.
  • Wisdom as we grow our influence on Virginia Commonwealth and Virginia Union Universities and look to expand to other campuses.
  • New partners for Richmond Chi Alpha to help provide resources as we grow.
  • Strength and passion for our staff and student leaders as we push through the mid-point of the semester.
Thank you for believing in us and helping us reach students, train leaders and influence nations. We love you!
Mike, Jen, Sam, Levi, & Nate
