We had such a wonderful time at Fall Retreat and the weather was perfect! The kids truly love this conference and look forward to it every year! Below is a picture of our speaker, Gary Schmalz (former ISU director of CRU) sharing with the students about boldly living out your faith! It was so encouraging to hear from him and we had a handful of students indicate that they made first time decisions to put their faith in Christ this weekend!
On the last day, we sat in a circle (pictured below) and opened the floor up for students to share how God had spoken to them this weekend. Here are few things that they shared:
"I am challenged to take the 30 day challenge to start each day off with God and to start my day focused on God and not to let myself get distracted by everything else going on." --Jenny
"Apparently I've gained a heart for people...I was just planning on graduating and getting a job, but now I can't think of anything better to do for the next 2 years than serving the Lord with CRU." --Darin
"Hearing about great men who have walked with God and hearing how a simple act of submission in the morning can have such an effect...I am choosing to surrender to God in the morning and throughout the day." --Matthew
"This weekend made me start wanting to move forward with being more involved with God's plan at ISU. We need to take steps to move it forward...it won't move itself forward." --Nick

We feel so privileged that God has chosen us to be here at this place and at this time! We love working with the students at Iowa State and we can't wait to see what more He has in store for us!
