Where Bethel Actually Quotes an Evita Song

I just discovered an entry in my diary from January:

"One semester of college down!
And no more to go? For now?
I don't know. I wish God would lead me through
everything, but it seems like he's left me to my own devices for now."

Just when you think there are no alternatives left...

That journal entry was written just two weeks before I got accepted at the last minute into my hometown college, where I'm currently taking six credits worth of classes.

It seems that God wants me there, participating in solid Christian fellowship this semester.

I guess now I'm wondering will I be fruitful here? I haven't trusted God - I haven't been abandoning myself to him for so long, I can hardly remember what it feels like. I don't remember the firm pressure of his guidance, like a heavy hand on my shoulder, steering me.

"Where do we go from here?
What do we do for our dream to survive...
How do we keep all our passions alive
As we used to do?"

Change is Coming

So here we go, getting ready for another summer of seeing God transform lives!











This year, I'm not interning. Just working with the teens as they preach the Gospel.

There's nothing more fulfilling than seeing God work in the lives of young people - or older people. And that's what CEF is about... reaching children, and their families and caregivers. One child who had attended 5-day club was able to present the Gospel to children and parents at a fair later that year! She got to see the Lord use her as a worker for His kingdom - is there anything more exciting or life-changing than that?

The changes God produces in our lives have an effect on each person we come in contact with, bringing His love further and further outward until the whole world has heard the Good News!

Is this the summer when every tribe, every tongue, and every nation will hear it? God can transform any life; there is no task too large for God.
