Weekend to Remember

Weekend to Remember is a wonderful 2 1/2 day weekend set aside for you and your spouse to connect and refresh your marriage! You will leave the conference with encouragement, hope, and practical tools to build and grow your relationship. There is a conference in Des Moines March 8-10, 2013. There is a special going on right now that you can get Buy One Get One free. So instead of $149/person, it is $149/couple! Tony and I have attended this before and it is such a wonderful conference. We would highly recommend it! It is also great for couples that are engaged as well (we went when we were engaged). So, if you have friends or children that are engaged, encourage them to go with you...it is truly a great way to start a marriage and also a great way to refresh a marriage.

Come Help Change the World!

We are asking this of our students: Come Help Change the World! This is a privilege that we get to live out everyday. We get to share the Gospel, teach others how to share it and send them out! We love our job and love training students to share the saving message of Jesus Christ. One way we encourage our students is to do a summer project. We have been asking you to pray with us for the Lord to raise up 15 students from our ministry to go on a summer project. Summer projects are a wonderful way for students to spend 4, 6, or 8 weeks building Godly relationships with one another, being trained on how to share the Gospel and then being sent out to do it! We offer summer projects all over the United States and around the world. You can visit our www.gosummerproject.com page to read more about what we offer students. Below is a great video on Cru Global Missions. Please continue to pray for 15 students with us to go help change the world!

TCX: Overcome

 

It was another wonderful and successful TCX this year. Tony worked on summer project booths and gave a seminar on the Holy Spirit and Clare did staff housing. We were able to just bring Silas with us and that freed us up to be able to connect with students and do our jobs. We had 30 students from 2 campuses attend with us. We have 6 students who have filled out summer project applications and our goal is 15...so please pray for more students!

Right before Christmas, one of our students, Carl, sister died tragically. He comes from an unbelieving family. Carl attended TCX and said it was good to be there with "family" and those that love the Lord...it was comforting to him. If you could, please pray for Carl and his family as they continue to walk through the grieving process and also pray for Carl to have the strength to share the gospel with his family.

You can visit www.gotcx.com to hear from students about their experiences from the conference.God did something great with these students and gave them a heart for change, for their families and friends and for the world. Check it out!

Rasool Berry (works with Impact Music -- a branch of our Impact Movement ministry), Candice Siewert (works in our region and connects with staff all over the world), and Troy Dobbs (pastor of Grace Church in Eden Prarie, MN) were our conference speakers this year. You can view each of there talks here: TCX 2012 Overcome.

Thank you for partnering with us and making this life changing conference possible for the students!
