Week # Something...I've lost track

I meant to send this email 3 days ago, but our internet went down.
Its been a crazy couple of weeks. I’m very excited about the direction of
the artwork (exploring the idea of re-humanization and what it means to be
fully human as God intended). Students have gone out on campus quite a bit
now and have had so many conversations with people about where they’re at on
their spiritual journey. Many have been able to share their own experiences
with God and testimonies and some have shared the Gospel in a variety of
other means.
You may remember that a student from Savannah College of Art and Design
Atlanta came on the project here in NYC as well. Her name is Stephanie and
we’ve been meeting for the past few months. God totally provided for her to
be here and the funding came in at the 11th hour literally. Last week she
and another student were on campus doing Soularium at Columbia University
and together they shared the Gospel with this girl. She made a decision to
trust Christ that day and they’re setting a time up to follow up with her.
Praise God for new life!
On another note, one of the students here has been seriously ill for the
last week. Please pray for healing and for wisdom for the doctors. We’re
heading to the doctor again today and praying that things get figured out.
I praise God for these students who even though they just met her two weeks
ago have come around her to love on her and pray for her.
Finally, Sy Rogers will be speaking later today to the entire project, all
90 of us (inner city and campus ministry included). He does an amazing talk
about healing and forgiveness for sexual sin. I think many of our students
will be heavily impacted by this. Pray for them to be attentive and to
really glean what God would have for them in this time with Sy.
Thanks so much for your continued prayers. Please pray for me that I would
be filled with the Holy Spirit and be yielding to Him moment by moment. I
think so often I can do things in my own strength without even a second
thought and my desire is to do things out of God’s strength. Pray for me
also as I plan our last few training sessions. That I would speak with
clarity and that my words would be His.
Oh on another note, things with my bank and the debit card situation finally
got worked out and my claim has been processed and approved. I was able to
get a temporary debit card for now. Thanks so much for your encouragement
and prayers in that situation.
Some pictures for you:

Hanging out with some of the girls from the arts track
At the top of the Rockefeller Center with Deanna, a staff girl I'm coaching
Pam and I co-led a Bible Study on the Chicago Summer Project 4 years ago.
Now we're both directors on the Tribeca Summer Project!
Chillin' on the subway
Praise God! :) That's definitely some solid answers to prayer. It's a blessing to hear. I will certainly keep praying for you and the group/sick person.
I like your attitude going into this.
Keep up the good work for Jesus.
Only a couple more weeks to "git 'er done". :) I look forward to hearing *more* good things.
Sy Rogers is an amazing speaker with a beautiful story of God's redemption...what a cool opportunity for the project students!!
and praise God, indeed, for moving the Columbia student from darkness to the kingdom of marvelous light! Thanks for sharing!
i miss you. praying for you.
