God has great timing! While speaking at Kentwood Community Church this morning Tobi was baptized during the service. In his story he shared how he committed his life to Christ at NTS Camp. He has been a part of our youth group for several years. With tears he came out of the water hands raised in the air in triumph. One more thing...2 people committed their lives to Christ this morning. Thank You Lord for these heavenly moments!
We’re coming up on 10 years. I figured it’s time. #neverthesame
Had a great time teaching about prayer with the Intl Pentecostal Holiness Church denominational leadership. These two dear friends, Lou and Becky Shirey are some of the most Godly people we know. And to make it even better, we met at WinShape Retreat Center, owned and operated by Chick Fil A.
Sophia you look gorgeous on the night of your first homecoming dance!
5 years ago Olivia stepped out in faith as a senior in high school and along with this crew hosted a night of worship and prayer at their public high school...all student led! Before the doors opened, they had no idea if anyone would show up. Over 600 students came. Some gave their lives to Christ for the first time along with many other spiritual commitments. These 12 did all the work themselves. 5 years later over 6,000 students from across the nation have attended Enlightened events led by their class mates. If you need a reminder adults, students are ready to lead...and they are! Congrats @enlightenedstudents !!!
My first year of college I met this crazy guy named David Kujawa aka“Kujo.” He impacted my life in many ways. First and foremost was because of his passion for Jesus. His zeal for his faith burned so bright and as long as I knew him that never changed.  He was also one of the craziest people I’ve ever met, which is why this picture speaks so much to me about who he was. I became his youth ministry intern and he met with me and Chip Dykema every week at Pizza Hut in Gas City, IN. (He paid!) He encouraged us and gave us opportunities. That changed my life. Today Kujo stepped over into eternity and is face to face with His Saviour.  For those of us who knew him, we are forever changed by his never-ending bold courage to follow Christ and his love for his wife and children. Love you Kujo! Well done good and faithful servant.
We are so proud of our friends Clint and Michaell Dupin who started Eastown Church in the Bay Area. They have played a significant role in our lives and ministry and it was a joy to see the work God is doing through them in person this last weekend.
Had a great time together for the day in San Francisco!
