God is working and it seems like such a privilege to be a part. I am so thankful that He allows us to join Him in ministry. The blessing is beyond description. Let's keep the conversation going!

How would God have us bring his truth and love and compassion and... from their(our students) heads to their hearts... to the point that they would be moved to action in their lives. Involvement in this ministry sure seems like a good fit to this bigger picture. Andy, this summer I was praying about a ministry I am involved with at church. I was asking God for direction and he gave me the word "freedom." When I asked him how to create an experience of freedom, He told me that it starts with me. As I experience freedom, I will be able to bring others to it. I can see God working this process in you. You cannot create an experience for high schoolers that will open their hearts unless you are willing to have your own opened and show them the way. It is one thing to talk about it. It is another to model it - although this is much more vulnerable. Though our years at Westside are ending in June, I am thankful for your willingness to become the person who can lead the leaders to a place of an open heart and then you all can lead our kids there. Keeping the big picture in mind when the details threaten to obscure your view of it is a challenge. But I can see that you are still seeing clearly. God himself has given you a direction and it encourages me to see your faithfulness to it. …But the bigger picture, as you have said, has nothing to do with Remember Nhu or the sex trade.
