Spring Break looks a little different this year.

About this time every year, Paul & I are normally packing up our sunscreen and headed somewhere beachy with our students on a Spring Break mission trip. But...not this year.

I'm a little sad to be honest. Even as I type this, 50 of our students & 2 of our staff are in their cars headed south to Panama City Beach, FL for a conference called Big Break.

So - with that in mind, would you join me in praying for them?! :)

1) For safety & fun as they travel.

2) For the freshmen going to get connected and feel 'at home' with our older students.

3) For our students to take major steps of faith as they venture out and focus on evangelism on one of the craziest beaches in America for college students on Spring Break. Many of them may very well run into their friends & classmates on the beach! Pray for them to be bold, wise & for God to divinely direct their steps.

4) Pray for staff Christi & Drew who are fearlessly leading the trip on their own this year. They are rooming with our students in condos this week, so pray for them to get some sleep! :)

5) Pray also for two of our other staff girls who are meanwhile loading up on a plane to head to our overseas partnership Beirut, Lebanon! They will spend the week getting to know the area, encouraging the students spending a year in ministry there, and collecting tid-bits to bring home to cast vision for this partnership to our students.

6) Pray for us! :) Little Thatcher is due to arrive Monday!!! So, although we're sad to be missing out on all the fun...we're having a little fun here of our own! Pray for a safe, smooth induction Monday (since Thatcher will be a week post-date then) and for good health for everyone. Pray I cling to the truths I've stored up in my heart when labor gets hard! :)

Thanks for praying! We'll share updates as they come along!
