I not only enjoy the new year for the sake of others. . .but for my own sake as well. It's such a good time to evaluate where I'm at and where I'd like to be in many areas of my life. I'm excited to see what God has in store for this new year of life in Berkeley, ministry, and whatever else He has in mind.

A New Year
For most people the new year starts January 1st, and according to the calendar that's certainly accurate. But, in my case the new year has just begun. All the students are back in town and classes start (for them :)) tomorrow. There's a freshness and an energy that only this time can bring to the college campus. And we've definitely experienced this to be true the past couple of days. Don't have specific numbers yet but I know that we surveyed over 1,300 students - all of whom got lots of free stuff (800 got Bibles) and an opportunity to know God personally. So exciting! The next couple of days/weeks will involve having conversations with lots of these new students as well as hosting lots of social events, Bible studies, and Weekly Meetings - giving them lots of chances to get to know the Lord, us, and what we're all about. Praying that this new year brings new life in Christ for many!

I'm excited to hear that campus life has started back up again! I will keep you in prayer as this activity-filled time in the quarter is under-way! I look forward to talking to you when things slow down! :)
Here's hoping and praying you have a great year at Berkeley. Looking forward to updates.
