When God placed a call to my heart about being a campus pastor at ACS and the administration not only agreed with the need but also worked to make it happen, one of the first desires God gave me was to get our parents more involved with the spiritual aspect of our school. From meeting to pray to attending chapel, I hoped to give parents plenty of opportunities to take ownership in this ministry. That desire has led me to form this blog as an avenue of communication between what God is doing at ACS and our ACS homes. To be honest-when it comes to blogging, I look like a calf staring at a new gate (you city folk might need Google to find the meaning of that.) If you are a proficient blogger or know a good blog when you see one, please be patient with what I am sure will be a work in progress.

I do encourage you to make it a routine to check this blog. The plan is to post once a week. The posts will update you on what God is doing here on campus, share brief thoughts from what your students are hearing in chapel, and present opportunities for you to take action! Also, if you know some of our family who might not have heard about the blog, please encourage them to check it out.

Finally, I beg you to lift me up in prayer. Between preaching our chapels and counseling our students, I have found quickly that I need God to sustain me in a whole new way. We have several students who are facing incredible storms in their lives and need encouragement, love, and direction. God is able to use this position to bring much of that into their lives! Please help me pray that my heart will be right, my words will be clear, and my savior will be glorified in all that I do! I’m aware that the request is selfish, but I do appreciate and need your support.
