P2C this Semester

Aside from Summit I have been involved in P2C ministry in a number of ways.

First thing for me was that prayer was absolutely important, so I determined to go to a prayer meeting everyday, which at first was going to be either P2C prayer meeting or the morning res prayer meetings (which I don't think I would have actually been able to wake up for) but after Summit I committed to going to P2C prayer meetings.

I've also been at most of the weekly meetings since getting back. Largely because MT kept asking me to speak or give a testimony or help out in other ways. Weekly Connect Meetings were low on my priority list, but now are higher since it is the chance to encourage the whole group an dchallenge people to go on project with me. xP

Ya, I really cannot wait to go back on project this year. I have applied to be an intern for a project this year, meaning that I'll be kinda a student leader with responsibilities for training other students and discipling some guys. DRP. I made sure to fill out my application before Thanksgiving ended, simply so that I could get going already with support raising and everything. xP. Every other time it was like Jan 31st when I applied (deadline), so this'll be good. Gotta nag my one remaining reference though. xP. I'm really excited because of how many other people God is speaking to about this specific project though. xP

The main way I have been involved though has been DG's, Discipleship Groups. I'm involved in two of these groups. The first is just the one I am in for the guy DG leaders and we are reading through Ephesians, which is pretty cool. The other one I am kinda leading. I say kinda because I don't want to be. haha. It's an upper year guy DG, so all the guys in 2nd year or higher, excluding the other two guy leaders, are in my group. So, since they are older and more experienced, I'm kinda challenging them to own this DG and lead it sometimes, and be contributors and really engage and apply what we learn. We are going through Daniel and looking at how to do ministry in a secular environment. So far 4 of the 7 guys have co-led the DG. The other three aren't as committed it seems. One guy hasn't been to any of the studies. > . > But ya, positive: the four who have led are pretty committed and should be built up to lead in the future.

Of those 4 I am trying to kinda disciple two of them. One I have been able to really develop a great relationship with. He kinda annoys me sometimes (xP) but his heart to grow and be salt and light in the face of hardship is sweet. I want to be there for him and just encourage him in everything. He is applying to go to East Asia, and I kinda wish I was going with him. No, I do wish that, not kinda. lol. The other is really growing and tryign to step outside his comfort zone. He's an awesome guy who I met back in second year who is just now getting serious about putting his faith into practice.

Pray for my involvement, that I wouldn't be over burdened, but give it all to God, and pray also for all seven guys in my DG. These guys are awesome I want to see them make a great impact both on campus and in every aspect of their lives for the Great Commission.
