Replacement Ministry Blog Just Launched!
It’s a replacement for THIS blog, not a blog about ministering to replacements.
We’ve sorta abandoned this tumblr blog and moved our updates to theclivers.com.
Like a part-time chemist, It seems I know just enough to be dangerous when it comes to customizing tumblr and I can’t seem commit when it comes designing anything for myself. Here’s hoping theclivers.com will be a more pleasant experience for everyone involved and I really like the content management system (if I’m using that term right) of our new blog host (squarespace)
A Thought Exercise
Thanks so much for your prayers for us, our ministry, and our marriage! Our first official assignment as a couple is Ministry Partner Development (MPD). For the sake of our speedy return to the Operations team, would you take a few minutes and think of 1 or 2 people that you could introduce us to that you think may join our team as a monthly financial partner at any amount?
Call or send us a quick email if you have someone in mind. And as always, you can contact us to let us know how we can be praying for you.
Sarah and I got married in Lexington, SC on a sunny afternoon in July. After an all-too short honeymoon in Cancun, Mexico we have settled in to our new apartment in Cary. Pray for us as we continue building up our support team so we can report back to the operations team soon.
Matt is one of the guys that showed up to our first bible study meeting as a freshman. His second semester, Matt and I began meeting on Tuesday mornings at the bagel shop across from campus to go through discipleship materials like How to share your faith and living a Spirit filled life. We went out on campus together one afternoon that semester to share our faith. While out, we called another freshman guy who had visited our bible study to meet up with us in the student center. As Matt and I explained the gospel to him, he understood his need for a savior for the first time and he accepted Christ as a new believer!
Over the next two years Matt became a leader in the movement at NC State. Together with another student, he began leading a freshman bible study, has taken other students with him to Winter Conference and has even been overseas on a Campus Crusade summer project. It’s so encouraging to be a part of Matt’s life and see first hand how God is growing him in maturity and using him to impact lives for eternity.
Prayer Requests
Sarah and I are in the process of raising support for our ministry as well as planning our wedding. Two things that we need prayer for are:
1. Meeting our support deadlines - people would join our ministry team as new financial partners. And also that God would bless those who already are consistent givers and enable them to increase their giving.
2. Sarah lost her engagement ring in Downtown Columbia a couple days ago. Pray that a good samaritan would respond to our ad in the paper or on craigslist and return it.
If you didn’t receive my April email prayer letter, you can read it here! You can subscribe to my email updates from the link on the right of this page.
Why yes, Sarah Fowler is my fiancée. (and yes, I now know how to spell “fiancée.”)
SHINY AND NEW
Ok, well at least new. I recently created a logo for all of our regional events. It’s a great way to add necessary words to a design without adding text. It’s a big task to create something to last for a long time and to serve lots of different purposes. I’m pretty happy with the finished product.
PREVIEW WEEKEND 2010
140 personally invited Juniors and Seniors joined us in Atlanta, GA to consider ministry options and stewardship of their lives after graduation.
