Go. Do. Say. Give.


This week Cru at Sac State got home from San Diego Winter Conference (Winter Conf)! #sdwc12 We were blessed with the opportunity to hear from a variety of speakers, worship our holy God, pack 100,000 meals, build friendships, and learn more about being UNDONE for God. Undone was the theme and each speaker did a great job relating back to what that means and challenged us to allow God to work in and through us. 



Let me share a few highlights:

The second night, I was in the Summer Project promo skit and had a blast. Jonathan (OCSP11) did a great job as an extra too. ;) It was a great opportunity to get students talking about Summer Project even if it was silly and dramatic. Here we are before the meeting! 





The "Day of Faith" included three parts. One of the parts was packing 100,000 meals for children. Here is a pic of most of Cru at Sac State who attended Winter Conf. Don't we look good in those hairnets? It was so fun working together to accomplish such a task.  


A song that was played throughout Winter Conf was "Where you Go I Go" by Jesus Culture. Listen to it here:






The last meeting,  four big graffiti boards were put around the room titled: go, do, say, give. Students used chalk and wrote where they would go, what they would do, what they would say, and what they would give to God. It was incredible to see how the Holy Spirit was stirring in students.



  


I wrote: East Asia 2013 on the "go" board. I know I had already committed to being a Project Director, but throughout Winter Conf, I was reassured that this was exactly how God wanted to use me this summer. 

Students had the opportunity to sign this and surrender all of these things to God for a lifetime.

Finally, it was time to CELEBRATE!
The New Years Eve party was a whole lot of fun. The theme was #bestof2012 so you know this girl rocked Giants gear to celebrate the World Champions. I was not alone.

At midnight the dance party stopped, and worship began. An hour and a half of worship to our Creator and Savior to bring in the New Year.



Overall, Winter Conf was a great time and experience. It was first one and it was totally worth it. One of the speakers, Michael Oh, spoke a lot about missions-and tithing our time to missions. I am thankful for the opportunity to tithe part of my summer to East Asia.

God answered a BIG prayer of ours by providing an Operations Director.

Things you can be praying for:
1. Our trip to Denver-safe travels and that we can leave feeling confident and equipped to lead to East Asia
2. A team-trusting that God will provide students that will join us in East Asia
3. Wisdom-that James and I use wisdom when making decisions for our team

Thanks again for you support-can't wait to see what God has in store for 2013!
