Big News!

I have been blessed with many incredible opportunities, but I wanted to tell you about the most recent one.  I found out last week that I was accepted to Summit Oxford.  Summit Oxford is a study abroad program at Oxford University for a select number of Christian college students.  Although it involves studying at a world class university, the main focus is a rigorous worldview analysis, leadership, and apologetics training program.  In a world where fallacies permeate, it is critical to understand truth and stand firm in a defensible faith. 

I'm thrilled about this amazing opportunity to learn and grow as a Christian leader, and to kind of be thrown out into the world.  But alongside that I really need prayer, because I know that there is absolutely no way I can do this in my own strength. I ask that you would keep me in your prayers as I prepare to leave in January.  Aside from all the logistics of moving overseas, I will need to raise funds, as well as prepare mentally. I ask for prayers for provision, wisdom, guidance, and that I might be salt and light to the nations.   But I also ask for prayers for understanding, as I begin digesting the required reading materials. These are books that I will be analyzing and discussing in the worldview intensive, such as the Quran and “Life at the Bottom.”

I’ll be writing more about it later, and will also post updates leading up to and throughout my time in Oxford.  Thank you for your prayers, they are greatly appreciated!!
