My Life Next Semster... a Plan
PRAYER
spend significant time in prayer every day. at least an hour, in the morning or at night
pray for:
the ministry and the leaders, our organization and team
groups on campus and individual nonbelievers
all events, conflicts, issues, and planning going on
men i am building into spiritually
other relationships i am in
God's mercy and power
supernatural glory shown
the gospel's spread on campus, opportunities to share
LOVE OTHERS
get to know everyone on my floor, spend time with and love them, say hi to every person on my floor every day
build into everyone on servant team, initiate serious conversations, encourage, listen, and give advice
go the extra mile any time given the opportunity
live outwardly, my own habits and wants faded away, focused only on others' needs
disciple ben, evan, and kory, love all three of them, reach out to them regularly
live with Jesus 24/7, share him even in "marginal" opportunities
socially, act outwardly, not inwardly. do not go to those that make me feel comfortable. instead, forget my social needs and go to those who have the greatest need.
ORGANIZE THE TROOPS
things we need to for sure to achieve early this semester:
we must be mobilized the moment we arrive on campus. pray together and get ready to follow-up, meet every single freshman, start our life groups the FIRST week of school, take every opportunity to bring someone to LG, and invite everyone to Primetime.
Primetime must be accessible to non-believers but also very spiritually challenging to them
Life Groups must hit the ground running in week one. Leaders cannot be given the chance to slack off. Even if it is a two person meeting, Life Groups must begin immediately.
EVERYONE on servant team (plus more) must be discipled, within the first month of school.
ALL OF US must devise a personal battle plan of WHAT PEOPLE GROUPS we are trying to reach and HOW WE WILL GO ABOUT DOING THIS
HOW TO PREPARE THIS SUMMER:
spend more time with God, in prayer this summer, than EVER BEFORE, pray that God will move this semester and pray that he will transform and prepare us for it in his grace and power.
begin to love people RIGHT NOW. instead of watching tv, playing video games, browsing Facebook, pleasure reading, etc, go do some chores for the family or some other thing in order to put someone else's needs before your own
keep in strong contact with many, many people who are a part of our ministry. Write letters and e-mails. Encourage and inspire. Pass on the fuel for the flame that will be this fall semester.

These are grrreat goals!!!! I think I'll definately be be snatching some of them, but don't worry--- I'll give you the due credit when I tell others... except I may change them a little... like switch names, genders, yadda yadda yadda, take out the Servant Team stuff and enter letting myself be led (finally). I'll keep praying for you & the Chicago mission this summer, & if you still need any more money, I have a couple of dollars with your name on it! (sorry, I only make $6 an hour)
