Gulf Coast Memories

Hey everybody!
Just wanted to remember some gulf coast moments.
Share some of yours as well.

1. DC renewed his membership in the Polar Bear club.

2. We had 28 Rebels for Christ at Gulf Coast! (Grown from 4 to 8 to 16 to 28!)

3. 1800 students, ministers and elders raised $19,000 for Cure International and 100x missions.

4. We donated towels, underwear and sheets to the Panama City shelter.

5. We got to use Lendy's trailer to take all the items and we gave away the rest of the clothing items from the OCOC.

6. Laura and Heather did an amazing job of providing fellowship and hospitality for our group through communal meals! Thanks to the others who helped them.

7. I'm glad Tracey and Little Rachel grew closer in Christ.

8. We have let the sub-normal become normal.

9. What am I sick of settling for? Who will I walk with? Will I be a conduit or a consumer?

10. When people try to add to the saving work of Christ, we say, "Nowhere, No way, no how, never!"

11. Lay down some of your freedom for the sake of others.

12. There is bondade in isolation, but freedom in community.

13. God is with us in the peaks, the pits and the plateaus.

14. Chris to Randy--"Let's pray. I'll dial, you hang up."

15. I can't believe the Giants are in the superbowl.

16. We went deep in our small group time--thanks brothers!

17. Building 429 was great...love the t-shirts!

18. Tracey and I need to start supporting World Vision or Christian Relief Fund.

19. Cure International and 100x Missions are amazing Christian organtizations.

20. Tracey and I went up front as a prayer team and got to pray with student strangers--one was Aaron and the other was Gelina for me. Both had soft hearts longing to see their parents/family come to know Christ.

21. We've got to stop thinking that people only come forward for scandals. We can all come forward for prayer.

22. Another Aaron confessed his addiction to pornography to 2000 students.

23. I'm thankful our ministry is more than white middle/upper class Ole Miss students, but I pray for more diversity in our little body of Christians and seekers.

24. Man it was COLD!!!

25. I need to see how God wants to open my heart more to the power of contemplative prayer. Thanks Randy!

26. Me pretending to run into the ocean and being cheered on--it's a good pic...coming soon!

27. When so many students stood up when Chris asked how many had struggled with doubt and whether this Jesus thing was for real.

28. Marlon's mourning being turning into dancing.

29. Eric and Melanie standing when Chris asked if any had lost children.

30. It is for freedom that Christ has set us free!!!

There's a 100 more memories in my mind, but this is a start.
Thanks for all who went. I pray the transformation will continue.
Peace.
