Annual Report(s)

This past month I've had the opportunity to write up an annual for what I do here at Bethany.  It was a great time of reflection and reminiscing.  I've had an amazingly busy year!  I won't share the whole thing with you, but here are the highlights:

• Moved from Interim Jr. High and Sr. High Ministry Director, to College Director, joining 2 other new youth guys.  
• Went on 2 camps in January, leading worship at one, and speaking at another.
• Went on a staff prayer retreat in central Washington - it was amazing!
• Began a plan to implement a change in culture for Bethany Student Ministries
• Took several months to read about and study college ministry
• Launched new college ministry, Parched, over the summer
• Spent countless hours as a family having college students over to the house every week
• Built a fire pit in the backyard to accommodate the people!  Spent weeks going to the Chiropractor to recover!
• Started on the college campuses in the fall, being on campus 5-6 days a week
• Had a ton of spiritual conversations with my new friends
• Met and walked with my friend.
• Helped the church by doing parking duty for VBS, leading worship for church, leading worship for the youth, preaching, teaching small groups, etc.
• Added Interim Director of Whitewater Kids to my things to do in August!
• Moved resonate from the house to the church (we were out of room)
• Prayed, pleaded, and plodded along with God

As you can see, it's been a busy year!  And there is also a very important announcement coming in the next month as well!  Thanks for journeying alongside my family as we seek to see the grace of Christ in the lives of college students in the south sound!  

Thanks
