Vision Trip: We will answer the call!

How does Eternity affect our daily life?

This is the question that was posed to the students at Ball State Cru when Whitney and I took a vision trip to our weekly meeting last week. We got in our car and drove for about 5 minutes to get to campus and get to our first weekly meeting of the year. We wanted to go and be refreshed with what God is doing at Ball State to encourage us to continue to persevere in support raising, get to 100% and get back to the job we love so much!
It was refreshing to say the least. Connecting with students, worshiping the Lord together and seeing the great work that God is doing definitely has propelled us forward to finish this season of support raising and get back to campus.

A good friend of mine gave the talk that night on eternity- what does that mean, what are the options for where we spend eternity, and how does that affect our lives today? Its a weighty topic with massive implications for our daily living. If life is simply 70 or maybe 80 years and then we will spend the rest of infinite time either with the Lord of glory or away from his presence suffering for our sins, than there could not be a more important topic. During the meeting a sort of "holy anxiety" overwhelmed me with the knowledge that there were students in that room who don't know Jesus and that their eternities are hanging in the balance. It renewed my passion to plead with the Lord to have mercy and to pour out his Spirit upon our movement in saving men and women from their sin and giving them eternal life through the death and resurrection of his son Jesus. Will you pray with us for these students and the countless others who were not at this meeting who do not know Jesus. That God would use us, this movement of students and the other staff to answer the call of God to proclaim the mercy of God in Jesus to this campus and that he would save many.

It also renewed in us a desire to answer the call of God on our life to reach the lost here at Ball State. Please pray with us that God will complete our support team so that we can answer the call of God on our life for His glory.
Thank you so much to our supporters, friends, and family who are behind us in this journey to get back to Ball State. You have taken eternity seriously and sacrificed time, energy and money to allow us to be here and serve the Lord. Thank you! It is significant and wonderful!
