LP has begun!!!

All the guys, ready to welcome disciples to the leadership project!!

WELCOME to the LP!!!!!

Last week, students from Wofford College, Furman University, Presbyterian College, and Western Carolina University pulled into the Mariner Motel in hot and humid Myrtle Beach SC!! Staff and student leaders eagerly waited for each car to pull in, welcoming them to their summer home!!!!

This past week, students secured jobs- God provided all the jobs we needed! Students will work this summer at Wal Mart, McDonalds, Zaxby's, Salsarita's, Wendy's , Skechers, Build a Bear, and Ocean Creek! As students settled into their rooms, meeting new roomates for the first time, I settled into my room full of 7-8 girls with 1 bathroom!! Just had to tell you that, it is a small challenge for me personally!

Last monday, our staff team planned and put on the theme meeting, which was a pep rally theme!! All of us girls were cheerleaders, plus A-Hawk (andrew) who was our faithful male cheerleader. It was so much fun! For the rest of the summer, students will plan and implement these meetings.

So far, we've been studying 1 Peter and learning an easy method in how to study the Bible. Our memory verse for this week is 1 Peter 1:13
"Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self controlled, set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed."

Thats powerful- our hope is not in the here and now, but in the future, specifically future grace !! Pray that these students would catch an eternal vision, and would set their gaze on the future grace that will be given. Also, pray that no one would leave this summer not believing in Jesus as the only way to God!
