quick update

So when I promised to blog everyday, I was, of course, over estimating my ability to fit a million things into one day on Big Break. In fact, I really only have like 15 minutes this morning to give you a quick update, so I will give you a lot of pictures, a little explanation, and a promise of a few deep thinking entries written on the drive home.

I have been having a blast this week and really seeing God move in BIG ways. Two times a day we get to listen to speakers Ben Rivera and Roger Hershey train us in evangelism and help us to go deeper in our own walks with God. Then, for a few hours every afternoon, we go out to Spring Breakers on the beaches and just try to start conversations that will lead to us sharing the Gospel with them. We have been using a survey put out by Campus Crusade called the Quest survey that has 6 different questions like "What are 3 words that describe your life?" and "On a scale of 1-10 rate your desire to know God personally." The questions are designed to simply help us get to know people better and then help make an easy transition to spiritual conversation. We have been sharing the amazing story of God's love and grace using the "Would you like to know God personally?" booklet put out by Crusade. The KGP (knowing God personally) is a really effective way to share the Gospel. It's four point presentation is right on and really east to follow while communicating the Gospel very clearly. If you're curious about the Gospel or just want to learn more about what our encounters on the beach look like, you can find the KGP here.

We've seen a ton of people come to Christ on the beaches and even one student who came on Big Break with his school got saved yesterday, Praise the LORD!!

As promised, here are some pics too.



Monday night all the boys put together a "Creative Date" for the girls rooms. Our guys put together a Mexican themed evening!! Great tacos and wonderful salsa music!



Here's a view from our hotel room of our amazing beach.



Tuesday afternoon we helped put together meal kits for Haiti relief in partnership with Global Aid Network and Kids Against Hunger. Over the last 5 weeks of Big Break, we have put together over 1 Million meals that will be shipped to Haiti Friday!!



Tueday night was our turn to put together a creative date for men's rooms. We began our night with aluminum foil sword fight battles and followed with pizza and of course epic music from Pirates of the Caribbean all night!

Over all, I'm having a great time this week, God's been working in my heart a lot and I can't wait to see what He continues to do this week. Please continue praying for boldness and the guidance of the spirit for all students here.
