Two weeks ago, Siena students had their Spring Break. Most went home, but one of our students went to Big Break (which is Campus Crusade's annual Spring Break conference in Panama City Beach, FL). You'll hear more about this student's experience in the upcoming monthly newsletter. While Siena was on big break, I had the opportunity to spend extra time at UAlbany. Part of my week was getting together with some of the women's basketball players individually in the student center. This gave me the opportunity to hear where they are with God.
One of my conversations was with a woman who has shared with me before that she is all about morals. She comes from a very religious background and shared with me that she believes there is more good than bad in people. We had a great conversation about humans being broken by sin and needing a Savior. It was very evident that God was working in her life.
That night, we had our UAlbany small group, where around 10 students come consistently every week. For the past two weeks, we have had 4 women's basketball players coming to this small group. God is moving on that team! Thank you for being a part of this critical ministry in reaching the future leaders of the world!

We're back!
Halfway through the semester, I decide to update this thing. I do plan on giving more regular updates. We'll just hope this gets more frequent for the rest of the semester. It has been a whirlwind! I hope you have enjoyed our mailing newsletters.
We're coming up on spring break for Siena College. It is next week. Last night, we finished off a small group study called the Prodigal God, based on Tim Keller's book. What an incredible time discovering the depth of God's love for us! The study is based on the parable of the prodigal son and shares that the older, self-righteous son needs Jesus just as much as the younger, rebellious son. It encouraged us to ask God to reveal where we are doing good, religious things for His acceptance, rather than trusting in the complete righteousness and acceptance that comes from Christ alone. After the break, we'll be diving into God's purpose and mission for our lives as a result of knowing the deep, sacrificial love of Jesus.
This coming weekend, we have a few students from R.P.I. as well as one from Siena heading down to Panama City Beach, Florida for a national conference. You can check out Big Break here. Please pray for them this coming week. Its gonna be a great experience! I know it was for Jen and I as students!
Thanks for praying for us and the movement here in the Capital Region!
