Summer Time

For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. Psalm 100:5
Today's the first day for our summer residents! God is continuing to provide. Last night was the last normal program night of the year, marking our transition into summer mode.
As we prep and plan for the fall, the residents will be focused on summer trips and summer bible studies. I'm so excited to have Brenna and Olivia join the team! It is going to be so strange to not be the youngest staffers in the office.

Captivating Moments

Hi! Katrina here. Over the summer, we take a break from weekly program (in order to give our volunteer staff a break) and instead meet with our students for summer bible studies. This summer, a close friend and I are leading a study together based off of the book Captivating.  We met for the first time last Thursday with seven girls attending and we've added a few more since then! This book has made significant impact in both Grace's and my life, and we're so excited to share it with these girls.

The Crossroads Farm Adventure

What an amazing part of our life this ministry has become! Crossroads Farm is a rural youth outreach ministry that targets kids in Hillsdale County, kids that would otherwise not be reached. Katrina began volunteering at Crossroads Farm the fall of 2013, her first semester as a sophomore at Hillsdale College. Nathan joined her, after much prayer, the fall of the following year. They have worked together to pour into the lives of these kids, often  coming home, as their classmates can attest, exhausted but excited at the relationships built every week.

The Little Things

Contrary to popular belief, we have a life outside of work! I know, it's shocking. We love our jobs and the ministry God allows us to do, but sometimes we spend so much time describing all that God is doing at Crossroads that we forget to mention everything we've enjoyed in our personal growth and lives.  So here's a small timeline of some of the significant things that have happened in the past seven months. Each event has a small description in the second picture. Enjoy!
