New Staff Training Update

So now that the wedding is over, Jennifer and I are focusing on our next adventure together...New Staff Training with Campus Crusade starting June 20th in Orlando, Florida.

I know many of you probably are receiving letters from us detailing what the training will be, but in case you haven't here is the low-down. Campus Crusade for Christ places all new staff members in New Staff Training when they join the organization. The training is five weeks long and covers everything from seminary courses to ministry partner development to ministry placement. Jennifer and I will be taking two seminary courses during the training. One is aimed at developing our skills at studying and interpreting scripture. The other is an overview of doctrinal matters. In addition to the courses, we will receive a week's training from experienced staff on how to develop our ministry partner team so that we will be more equipped in communicating the vision and ministry God has laid upon our hearts to our future supporters. Finally, during the third week of training, Jennifer and I will be receiving our ministry assignment. This will outline exactly where and what type of ministry Jennifer and I will be working in once we reach our initial support goal. We are hoping to be placed somewhere in the Northwestern US on a campus. We will let you know where we will be placed once we find out!

As you can see, the time in Orlando will be fairly busy! We are both incredibly excited to be receiving the training and deeping and developing our faith even more through it. We are going with open hearts ready to hear what God has laid out for us. Please pray for us as we prepare and consider supporting us financially if God places it on your heart!

That's all for now. If you have any other questions about the training, please don't hesitate to let me know. We look forward to sharing with you all that God puts in our path! God Bless!
