The Journey of a Life Time

Ask yourself: Would you drive 20+ hours to spend the weekend with 600 other college students learning about Jesus?

This is not only something we are asking of our students, it happens every year. As the geographic outlier in our region, the UNM Navigators group makes a trip like this not once, but twice a year. As our annual fall conference is approaching this weekend (10/18-20) I wanted to write a quick update to ask for prayer for our journey (road trip) to Journey (the name of our fall conference).

Please pray for:
  1. Last minute/ unexpected details to work out, especially for our students
  2. Safety driving as we are taking the “scenic” route to avoid the flood damage in Colorado
  3. Fun bonding time during the long drives up and back
  4. Open ears and learner’s hearts for the students attending Journey
  5. Wisdom for all those speaking and leading workshops this weekend (especially myself)
  6. Smooth and uncomplicated operations for us at the YMCA conference center that is hosting us

I am excited to be returning this year to Estes Park, Colorado and cannot wait to see what God is going to do this year. My experience at Journey as a student was incredibly impactful and I always left challenge and with a renewed excitement about my faith. This year going back as staff will surely see a different experience, and I would appreciate your prayers in adapting to this new role. I know that God is going to use this conference to teach me (likely more than He will use me to teach others). I look forward to updating you all after the conference sharing what God did there.
