Check this out!
Go check out this web site: www.roadtripnation.com
I took some of the stuff from this web site and the book this group of people published and combined it with the 7 checkpoints by Andy Stanley and Stuart Hall, as well as Welcome to the Planet by Doug Fields, I re-packaged it into a 7 week series (I know a little long!) called “Road Trip” and it has been a great series with the students.
I think the students like the Green RV the most!

Good News!!!
Today in the Bible class I am teaching we reached chapter 7 in the Purpose Driven Life Book.
It came to the place in our reading where Rick challenges the reader to whom they will live for, themselves or God, so as a class we prayed through the Believe and Receive prayer and it was great how the students responded!
Out of all 3 of my classes here were the responses from Middle and High School Students!
I had 2 students tell me they prated the prayer because they could not remember ever praying it even though they thought they were saved, 1 girl rededicated herself to living for God and not herself, and 1 brand new student told me he prayed the prayer for the first time!
I have a horrible headache today, but I don’t care after that! =)

Work at Home…3rd Shift?
I guess I got my hopes up with the new baby. The first couple of nights he was calm…and now all he does is make noise. It will not STOP!!!
I don’t think I can handle it anymore…I think I will sleep at work, and then bring my work home and stay up all night to get it done? Sounds good to me! It looks like fitting that couch into my office will pay off now =)

Beyond the Summer Slump!
Well we had the worse summer that I can remember in our student ministry, and I have been involved either as the lead student pastor or as a volunteer since ’99, and then I was in the student ministry from 98 – 99 as a teen myself so I’ve seen it over the years in good times and bad!
However!!! Wednesday night it was kicking, in fact I think it caught us off guard a little, but we packed out or teen center. 2 students said they received Christ, that puts us at 6 over a 4 week series that we have been doing, and the feedback we received from the students was awesome, and many of the first timers said they would be returning!
I guess it pays to keep plugging at it! It shows it is not in our power to build a student ministry, God is going to do awesome things everyday, we should just ask God if He will allow us to be apart of it.
