Hey, we are still around. We’ve not been updating due to some extensive technical difficulties. My computer is in working order now, we just got DSL yesterday and we’re almost ready to go (still having some problems with the wireless router, but I think I can remedy that).
Ministry since the last update 19 days ago has been going well…
Edinboro has gotten off to a great start! The student leadership is very much on the ball, moreso than we ever were as students. They’re excited and working hard to have a forum to share about Christ with their classmates. Despite some confusion over what room we were meeting in last week, we had upards of 35 people there last week; this is great that we’re picking up some involved new freshmen and seeing people take hold of the ministry. Also, we had a graphic design professor share part of her testimony at the weekly meeting (“CRU”) last week and she invited some of her students; Carrie and I talked to them afterwards and they seemed interested enough that I won’t be surprised if we see them tonight.
Last Friday we had 21 student leaders from 4 schools in our house for the year’s first “Freyday Feast” (named after our directors Michael and Carol Frey), a time for student leaders to get a vision of their part in the larger picture and to exchange ideas of how they can better reach their campuses. We spoke about publicity on campus and how important it is to make sure that the entire campus knows that we’re there; if there’s even one student that doesn’t know that CCC exists on their campus and would be interested if they did, we’re missing our scope!
Speaking of Michael and Carol, I forgot to mention that on August 31st, they welcomed the newest addition to their clan Jacob Thomas, he’ll join Andrew, Rachel and Abby (and Michael) in raising ruckus in the Frey household.
I want to keep this short, but please keep in your prayers the new ministries we’re trying to get (re)started at: the Community College of Allegheny County, Penn State Beaver, Penn State Behrend (Erie), Robert Morris, Pitt Titusville and Pitt Bradford.
