Getting Started!

We arrived in Colorado Springs late Sunday night and have begun to welcome students from all over the world to the Global Student Program!  It has been an exciting time! There are already students here from Mexico, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, Asia, Australia, Canada and the US.  We have had so much fun getting to know them already!  I had a great conversation today at the soccer field with a student from Kenya who grew up in Tanzania as a missionary kid- amazing!  She shared with me that this summer she really wants to get to know God in a deeper way and she is hungry to have more time in His Word.  Having grown up in a Christian home she feels that her faith is just beginning to become her own.  I am excited to see what God does in her life this summer!  Please join us in praying for each of these students, that they will grow deeply in their relationship with God and that they will experience deep friendship and community with each other despite their cultural differences.  Pray also that God will raise up laborers from among these students to take His gospel into the nations!
We are getting to experience a beautiful picture of the body of Christ this summer!  "...and behold, a great multitude from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb..."

Here is a sneak peak of where these students will be living and where we will be working this summer...

Nav Headquarters at Glen Eyrie.  I love this place!  Hmm, which direction should we go...

This is just outside the Carriage House where students tend to hang out, read, or spend time with the Lord.

This is Glen Eyrie Castle- isn't it beautiful!  Students will eat here often and some will even work here.  It is also nice to get some one on one or small group time on the castle terrace.
