A Preview to the Future

Albany, NY was the scene of a gathering of 88 students this weekend as they sought God and His will for their future. Every year, the Northeast Region has a conference for juniors and seniors called the Preview Weekend. It is a weekend conference, where students can get away for free and hear great talks on Kingdom Vision. The main question being, "how are they going to spend their years loving Jesus after college?"

I was there for the day on Saturday. It was so encouraging to hear from students, "I had my plans laid out. I think God might be shifting me in a different direction. I really need to stop and pray about this." Awesome. On Saturday night, students were invited to join us as interns or new staff. One of our staff gave great vision for the Northeast, encouraging students to consider the influence it has on the world, as well as the great need for students to hear about Jesus. The weekend was encouraging for me as well, reminding me to keep my eyes on things that are eternal and not temporary. Overall, it was a great reminder of the depth of God's love through Jesus!

Please pray for these students as they process their future (as well as for those seniors who did not attend the weekend). Pray that their response to Jesus would be, "Here I am Lord! Send me!"
