Great Campus Visit to Berry College in Rome, GA


Thank you for praying with us as we seek to help every CO graduate from every campus mobilize into strategic environments with clear next steps after college! 

Ford Hall at Berry College in rome, GA
This week (Wed & Thur) I had the privilege of  visiting Berry College up in Rome, GA casting vision for service in God's kingdom through their gifts and talents beyond their college years. We are so thankful for the growth of every believer while in college, but the real impact is through the multiplied lives they will lead and impact for a life time!

It was a great time encouraging staff and students. I met with all the campus and region staff and many of the student leaders. I also participated in the "Preparing to Launch" study with all the graduating seniors involved with our ministry at Berry. It was great time of perspective, vision, and challenge. I also had the privilege of sharing at the weekly campus wide meeting. There were hundreds of students there desiring to learn and grow in their relationship with God.

Thanks for your partnership! God is building laborers on the campus for the lost world!

Follow Up From the Leadership Conferences


Thank you for your prayers! The training went well last week! God is so good! We had leaders from San Diego to Washington DC and Minneapolis to  Houston. I am so thankful to God and His faithfulness who has raised up laborers from the campus who are serving him full-time advancing the Kingdom across the world. We also had three staff in from three of our international teams in Brazil, thailand and South Africa. Thank you for your partnership in developing these key leaders!

Beyond time on our vision and values we invested focus time to help our young leaders understand that their growth as a leader will be shaped by their growth in three key areas:
  • Service
  • Leadership
  • Management
These three areas are all linked together and each affect the other like legs on a three legged stool. If you remove one the others will suffer. If you strengthen in one and don't develop in the others you become out of balance and it will limit your influence over time. God has created it that way and Christ is our perfect example of these areas.


We also invest a good portion of our time helping them evaluate where they are and where their region is to identify the next developmental steps for them. Coming out of this time each region developed key developmental goals for this year that would truly push God's mission to build labors on the campus for the lost world forward in every area.

Please continue praying with us as we seek to help every CO graduate from every campus mobilize into strategic next steps after college! This week (Wed & Thur)  I will be visiting Berry College up in Rome, GA casting vision for service in God's kingdom through your gifts and talents beyond your college years.
