I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year’s. I was able to celebrate the New Year with 2200 students in Indianapolis where we prayed and sang worship songs until 1:00 AM! One of the other highlights from the conference was sharing the gospel with over 1000 people in the Indy community – 147 people trusted Christ!!!

It’s been a busy month of support raising. I’ve enjoyed being able to meet with or talk on the phone with many of you! It is a blessing for me to share about what God is doing in Berlin.

I can’t believe September has come and gone already! Click the link below to read about one of the things that happened while I was at New Staff Training in Orlando.
I have safely returned to Indiana and have been getting adjusted (which isn’t too hard) to life in the States. It’s been nice to be with friends and family again, and I’ve enjoyed some of the delicacies I had been missing – such as Mt. Dew and Taco Bell!
The first phase of New Staff Training is September 8-18. After that I hope to get in touch with each one of you to share more about my year and answer any questions that you might have. I also want to let you know what I have planned for the next 12 months.
Below, I attached the story of one of our students, Lisa, who recently became a Christian. She wrote out her testimony for my teammate, Shannon, but I wanted to share it with you, too. I always love hearing firsthand how God has worked in someone’s life. I hope you enjoy reading it!

The summer semester has just begun for students in Berlin and I am already excited about what the Lord is doing and will do in the next several months. We had several students on each university help us plan for ministry this semester. We also spent last week doing ministry tailored for the Easter holiday – which is still one of the most popular holidays in Germany. Last night, we invited students to celebrate Easter with us by having a dinner with our team. There were about 15 students, mostly non-Christians, who came and my teammate Ryan shared his testimony with the group.

The past 6 weeks have been busy. Here is a brief overveiw… Our team hosted a Christmas dinner and 8 students from 6 different countries came. We celebrated the New Year with 50 people at a Campus für Christus conference near Leipzig. In January, our team opened up our schedule to explore new ministry opportunities – ask me if you want more details on what that looked like. We had our MidYear Conference at the beginning of February, which was a time to celebrate with other STINT teams what God has been doing and for us to recharge for the 2nd half of the year. Now, the winter semester is ending this week and we are starting to prepare for Spring Break trips and the Campus Meets Munich conference.

Merry Christmas!!! Here is my last update of 2010. Click the link below to read about what happened at our Thanksgiving Dinner. Remarkably, we had enough food!
The weather is getting colder and all but a few leaves have fallen. The holiday season is about to begin! I hope you are able to enjoy lots of time with friends and family, not to mention eating delicious food. Sometime in between meals and napping, take a few minutes to read about what’s been going on in Berlin. Just click the link below.
Thank you once again for your generosity and prayers that have allowed me to be back in Germany. All 12 people on my team, from 3 different continents, have arrived in Berlin safely and are gearing up for the start of classes and an exciting year of ministry.
