The last of the finals wrapped up yesterday, and the past several days have been spent getting ready for Chapter Focus Week. Tomorrow, I leave for Michigan to spend the next week working with students from around the Midwest. In total, 79 students will be at Cedar Campus, and I'll be part of a staff team leading small group leader training. We'll spend the week helping students understand how to facilitate Bible studies, build community in groups, and join in with Jesus' mission for outreach on campus.

There are also 3 students from Hamline coming. They'll spend their time at camp doing some in-depth study of the first half of the book of Mark. The Bible study skills they learn there will be a great asset to ministry on campus in the coming year.

I know from experience that these weeks can be exhausting and exciting. Please join in prayer for safe travel (about a 9 hour car ride), rest, and for God to be at work in the lives of each of the students there. I'll have more to report the first week of June.

Thanks.
