Another Banner Day! 5 Crestview Students called to the Ministry!

Today was also wonderful with the students focusing on how to apply God's love to their daily lives. Dave challenged them to "Live within the Ring". He used a circle and divided it in to two sections, one being "The presence of the Lord" and the other half being "The Principles of God's Word". Students were challenged to make choices in life based on living within God's presence and His Principles. Several of our students recommitted their lives to "Living within the Ring" and 5 Crestview students shared that they felt God's call on their lives to full time service in ministry.

God is amazing and has touched each of us in a special way. The most incredible thing to me has been watching as the Lord is unifying our students. At dinner and at worship tonight we noticed that students were sitting and visiting across AGES and groups. This is a specific prayer of ours in ministry. Crestview, get ready.....You might just catch the vision as our students lead out in revival!

A few additional things: Parents, We will be dismissed from celebration by 10:30. We hope to be on the road by 11am. (12:00pm Texas time). Sadly, even with only two stops on the entire trip down, the drive was still a total of 13 hours. This will push back our arrival time to sometime between 3-4 am. We want to appologize for it being such a late pick up time but it just is what it is....Hey...it could be worse...YOU could be on that bus for 14 hours, right! =0)

We are looking forward to getting home and seeing you guys and sharing in person what the Lord has done! Oodles of love! Donna

ps Please pray for a family from DFW who is close to Nate and who were in a previous church of ours (where Nate grew up). Kim and Anthony Brandon, mother and daddy to Alicia and Shelby (twins who soon to leave for college) and Vanessa (Aggie grad and newlywed) were in a tragic accident tonight. Kim and Anthony were both killed - along with two other people in other cars. Please lift up the Brandon family.
