My Team!  I’m on a d-group leader team of 6 girls including my leader.  These godly women have been the biggest encouragement to me this summer.  As leaders, we meet for hours every Tuesday to pray, hold each other accountable, fine tune our Bible Studies and plan 1 to 1s with our girls.  I’ve learned so much from studying the word with these ladies.  The wisdom they have to offer is unreal.  They’re really showing me what love is.  And it’s beautiful.

Every Sunday we head out to the beaches and share the gospel through a diagram called “The Bridge.”  Kari is a participant here at Kaleo from UCA.  We went out to share together two Sundays ago, where we met Kara.  We had the opportunity to have a great conversation with her, and she chose to make Jesus the Lord of her life!  She said that she has really been wanting to know about Jesus and how to follow him, but no one would show her how.  She came with us to Stumo the next Thursday(our weekly meeting where we gather together to worship).  There we learned about knowing God through His Word.  Now Kari, Kara and I are meeting weekly to go through the gospel of John. She has almost read it through twice within a week because she’s so excited!  Legit.   Through this we’ll get to learn about the life of Jesus and the salvation his sacrifice brings.  Kari and I are getting to see the power of the gospel working right before our eyes.  Through Kara’s decision to place her trust in Christ, and the Spirit’s work in her heart, she is a new creation.  Praise our Father.

Kelsey, Cobly and Morgan are stiiilllll wonderful.  It’s about that time in the summer when the participants begin learning to lead the Bible and book studies.  This is an incredible challenge that will help equip them to lead when we all go back to campus in the fall. Which is so exciting!  They are all building incredible relationships at their jobs.  Through these relationships, the gospel is being shared and Christ’s love exposed.  He is doing big things in many many hearts.

The oil. Tropical Storms.  They are here.  But no worries!

Prayer points:

1. That we can continually deepen our desire to Know God and make Him known through intentionally sharing the gospel.

2.That we can be faithful in meeting with Kara and showing her an immense amount of love.  That when we leave she will have convictions to keep growing and telling others about Christ. Praise God for her salvation!

3. We only have 3 and a half more weeks!  Pray we can be super intentional in finishing strong. 

4.  Praise God for who He is, and pray that He keeps doin His thing in the hearts of everyone here at Kaleo!  :)

I love and miss you all.  Let me know how you are and if I can pray for you in any way!
