The past two months have been the hardest months that Travis and I have had in ministry together. We have had moments where we both have broken down in tears because we have felt so overwhelmed by things going on around us. We have had meetings with the pastors from our church and with the members of the Nexus team and we all agree it is time to close the ministry of Nexus and go on with other things. It is sad for me because I have been there from the start. I have seen great things come out of this group and I have seen people come to know Christ through this ministry. One of my husband’s best friends started going back to church through Nexus and he now helps out with Alpha groups and prayer groups at his church. Exciting things have happened! However I know that our decision is the right thing and I know that God is going to bless us and He has new things in store for us.

On February 5^th we had our last Re:sound worship night. We had the Nexus band and Levi denBok lead the worship. We did not want this night to be about the bands or one person we wanted it to be about God. We wanted young adults to come together and praise and give glory to the one who deserves it. I am so happy to report that this night was exactly this. We have heard great feedback about that night. One of the testimonies was this “It was truly inspiring and just an extremely powerful time of worship. I am still blown away, so once again thank you for inviting me.”

So where does this leave us now? Travis and I feel strongly we are to continue running a young adult group at our church. Now we can spend more time focusing on reaching young adults in our church and helping them grow in Christ. We have started doing the “Truth Project” in our small group. Though it is an intense study it is something that young adults need to learn. We are going to continue to meet bi weekly but are also going to start having more social events and add serving events as well. We have seen great things happen in this group already and we know there is more to come.

On March 4^th we are going to be going away over night and taking some young adults to a conference in Toronto. Pray that the young adults that attend would be touched that weekend. That they would learn something new and that God would really speak to them wherever they are at in their life. Also pray that friendships would grow and that Travis and I have a chance to get to know our group more too.

I am sure you guys are wondering what is going on with my book so I will let you know that right now one of my copies is in L.A and being read by a publisher. It is a waiting game so all I can continue to do and all I can ask you to continue to do is pray. I will let you know what is happening as I find out.

Thank you all for your continued prayers and support. I appreciate it so much!! Sometimes in ministry personal things come up that I am not able to share because they are confidential but it helps to know that even though you don’t know everything you are there praying for me and lifting me up to the one who knows all.
