In Like a Lion

It's been an exciting few weeks. I apologize for the lack of updates during that time. I'll try to give a sufficient summary and more info soon.

This past week was Wayne State's spring break. Everyone was looking forward to some rest of course but the Thursday before break began we had a large group meeting focused specifically on Chapter Focus Week. Chapter focus week is a week at the end of the school year where we reflect on what God has taught us the previous year as a chapter and as individuals, we prepare for where he's taking us in the coming year, and we choose a specific are of focus, or track, for the whole week. Focuses include small group leading, large group coordinating, sharing our faith on campus, exploring issues of faith especially for seekers, and a few more.

For our large group meeting we had six interactive stations set-up around the room where students could spend time exploring a little bit of what their week might be like. I was at the "Skeptic Tank" table for seekers and questions of faith. We all wrote questions we've had, still have, or have heard on post-its and then set them out in the middle of the table. We had a lot of fun digging deep into all that we had time for.

During the two weeks prior to Wayne State's spring break, two different groups of college students came to Detroit to give their time during their spring breaks, learn about God's heart for people, specifically those in Detroit, and share their faith on Wayne State's campus. It was a joy working with both enthusiastic groups willing to give up their time off and pursue God. I was encouraged to see the energy they put into sharing their faith, even if it was a new experience. I was touched to get to spend time with them and learn from them.
