Calling All Prayer Warriors

Hello friends!

I can't believe it's already time for Fall Getaway! For those of you who don't know Fall Getaway is our first conference of the year. It's basically a relaxing, fun-filled weekend to connect with God and friends. Students  get away from the grind at Turkey Hill Ranch Bible Camp. There are large-group events with speakers and music, sports (sand volleyball, ultimate frisbee, football, etc.), hayrides, paddle boats, canoes, spectacular scenery to explore, a coffee house with snacks and games, and bonfires (with s’mores, of course). This weekend will be a great time for students who do know Jesus to reconnect with him far away from the distractions of school and homework. Students who don't know Jesus will hear the gospel and learn what it looks like to truly follow him. It's a weekend that definitely shapes the rest of the year for students because friendships are built and they will undoubtedly encounter Jesus during the talks and worship sessions. Because there is potential for amazing things to happen I'm recruiting prayer warriors. Please pray for this conference happening Friday through Sunday.

Here are some ways that you can pray:

• We have about 110 students signed up. Pray for 65 more to sign up by this Friday. Numbers aren't everything, but they represent individual people that can be changed by this weekend away.
• Pray for safe travels. Students from Missouri State, Mizzou, KU, and Kansas State will be driving on Friday afternoon.
• Pray for our speaker who will be challenging our students to grow in their relationship with Jesus.
• Pray for me and my roommates (Carrie, Tina, and Kelsey). We are each giving mini talks about areas females struggle in during a women's only session. 
• Pray that students who do know Jesus are challenged in their walk with God and inspired to live missionally. 
• Pray for students who don't know to Jesus to surrender their lives to him this weekend.
• Pray that students develop life changing friendships.

Students get tons of opportunities to spend time with God in his creation.

So much fun! Plenty of time for games and sports.
