HANDS HEADLINES

We returned safely from a long anticipated vacation to Orlando. We did Disney. Four days, four different parks. Met all 6? princesses, plus Donald, Mickey and others. Toby’s favorite was Pooh. The girls loved every second of it! They even got picked by Belle to be in a small “show” on stage. We got three Mickey Mouse balloons (yes, the BIG kind) and stuffed them in the back seat of our Accord with all three kids for the ride home. Sorry, I didn’t get a picture of that!
What a blast! We were joined by Shannon’s parents. We all thouroughly enjoyed the time!

HANDS HEADLINES E-Letter

———February 2, 2005 E-Letter: —————-

The final week of December, 2004, hundreds of college students from Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi gathered in Atlanta for Campus Crusade’s annual Christmas Conference. These five days were designed to help students grow in their relationships with God and to equip them to make an eternal difference on their college campuses.

One afternoon during the conference, we invited several local students up to our hotel room for a “cookout.” We roasted hot dogs and s’mores! Toby didn’t get to eat any, but he loved the attention! It was good to connect with these students who all live quite close to us (in north Atlanta) and hear what the Lord was teaching them. We didn’t set off any smoke detectors, either!

Speaking on 2 Corinthians 5:14, “For the love of Christ controls us…” Dr. Crawford Loritts, a 30-year Crusade staff member, challenged those at the conference to live out what this verse truly means about our identity in Christ. Because of who we are as children of Christ, we are compelled to share the gospel with others. When we share Christ we are being who God made us to be.

Over the next few months students from the Atlanta Christmas Conference will be participating in “Student 2 Student,” reaching their campuses for Christ together. Each student who attended the conference has committed to be intentional about praying for friends who don’t know Christ and sharing the gospel with them. Please join us in praying that 50,000 college students across the nation would accept Christ this semester as a direct result of hearing the gospel from someone who attended a Christmas Conference. This would be equivalent to each student in the United States who is involved in Crusade seeing one person come to Christ through their personal evangelism.

Thank you for the part you play in seeing the lives of these students changed for Christ!! Your investment is reaping eternal rewards.

~ David & Shannon + Avery, Addison & Toby
