Summit 2014

So, although I am on co-op, I can do P2C stuff and the thing I was most excited about was going to Summit the annual fall retreat. xP. Last year a girl who was on co-op had gone, so I couldn't wait to go. lol

Anyways, it was interesting. Usually Carleton sends a lot of students. This year there were only 13 of us. Queens had like 11 students and this was their first year restarting the movement. So, we were pretty small, but God really spoke to our group.

The main speaker was a Carleton grad, DL, who had also been to Asia and had lived in Scotland for the last couple years doing ministry in Glasgow, so he had so many stories of what God had done around the world and at Carleton when him and the other students prayed big things. His main challenge was to live out our faith barbarically, meaning that we follow Christ full out not hesitating because we know who He is and that He is worth following.

But ya, our small group was really challenged. This was true for everyone of the 13, but especially for BG and AG. They had both come from pretty conservative churches where being pushed out of your comfort zone to go and share the gospel was kinda like, and additional thing, not really required of everyone. So the idea that initiative evangelism and sharing with strangers on campus was really foreign and, as it should be, scary. But being being challenged and spending time thinking  praying about it both of them were ready to take that step and the following week they went out on campus and did just that.

One thing that was awesome is that DL like took us aside and had dinner with us ad challenged us specifically to pray for big things. So, what did we do? We prayed. xP. We actually ended up late for the next session because we just kept praying. haha. Cool thing is that God really started to show how faithful He is to answer prayer and be active on campus in the hearts of students. The week after Summit we saw a girl accept Christ and saw a whole bunch of people really interested.

Pray that we continue with this momentum. It's a little different for me since I'm not on campus much, but I really do want to go sharing more often and be involved on campus more, but I can't do everything, right? / It isn't about me, it's about God and I want to continue to serve Him with everything I have wherever He sends me whether work or school or other places. xP
