Trek-X: The Journey Begins!

The last 2 mornings of Trek-X have been sweetly clothed with the presence of Christ as we have met to read the Bible, pray, and memorize scriptures. Exercising these basic spiritual disciplines will help build a strong, solid spiritual DNA in each students' heart.

We have also been challenged by stories of the persecuted church in various countries, which serves to sober our minds to the war we are engaged in daily. The war for souls, for our purity, for our sanity, for our families, for our time/schedule, and for our witness. As we read these stories of men, women, & students who are beheaded, hung, burned alive, decapitated, shot, or tortured relentlessly, we are reminded that the world and it's system is directly opposed to the message of the Cross...to Christ...and to us! Yet, within each story we see a common denominator of unnatural boldness (like Peter & John in Acts 4), an unusual devotion to the person of Christ, and an unwavering faith that He is the only thing True, Real, and Lasting.

As we continue this Trek-X journey together with our very first students, I am excited to see where the Lord will take us. In my heart, all I want is to make disciples who are deeply rooted in the Truth, hungry for only that which lasts in this world, devoted to Christ with increasing faith & servitude, equipped to effectively share their faith in any environment, and willing to lay it all on the line for the sake of the Gospel...all over the world.

Pray with us that God will guide each of their journeys to a fulfillment of these things. It is risky, costly, and self-denying, but isn't that supposed to be the basic norm as a believer?

Pray with us that God will awaken this generation of students to a higher aim for their lives. A call to a life like no other. Something bigger than them, and more rewarding that settling into the American Dreams and processes that leave us empty.

We are praying for students to join us on this journey in 2011. Anyone interested can apply at www.trek-x.com. NO WIMPS ALLOWED!
