Ignite

Adrienne, Terah and I just got back from Hastings College yesterday. I got to hang out with Tim and Ryan to talk about giving every student at HC the opportunity to say 'yes' to Jesus. It's really awesome to see these men of faith step up and really follow God as they minister to their campus. It was a good night for these men: Tim was the high-point man for their intramural basketball team (dominating win), Ryan delivered the message at Ignite, and they both led the biggest Ignite meeting of the year.

About 10% of the campus was in one room hearing about what it looked like to have a personal relationship with God. What is really exciting, however, is that the leadership team is asking the right questions, and they're not content. Tim and the rest of the leaders are still on their knees in prayer asking God for a clear strategy to reach those students who are currently unreached.

Dan and his sister, Hannah, were also at the meeting. Dan is the student president at Hastings community college and is one of the best community college leaders that I've been around- he's humble and at the same time he's very bold. Just last night Dan was in conversation with a non-Christian who had all sorts of intellectual arguments in opposition to Christianity... Dan is going to Alaska this summer with Craig.
