Hello all!
Sighhh… it really warmed my heart to hear from so many of you with just your simple replies to stay on the email list (haha I am so easily soothed).
And I am eternally thankful for all the encouragement. J
I hope your past week has been wonderful and that you’ve seen the little ways in which Christ has snuck into your life. J
So here’s what you can keep your eye on for Love Revolution this week:
1. blog updated
2. idea submission form
3. music update
4. speakers
5. PRAISE- Dani Holloway
6. serving together
7. me
8. you
1. I’ve caught up on posting some older emails on the blog, so ch-ch-ch-check it out… especially if this is the first summer update email you are receiving. The first one from last week is up- take a gander!
2. I’m not sure if this was attached to the last email, so here it is! This form is for documenting any ideas you want to incorporate into Love Revolution. The goal is to create day binders chockfull of ideas so day leaders are well-equipped in the fall.
3. Luke Anspach and Dani Holloway have taken the reins in figuring out the worship band for Love Revolution. They have agreed that what we need for this week are musicians who are passionate about the goals of this week. They want a very Spirit-led, Christ-honoring band so they are prayerfully organizing that. Many, many thanks to them!! They also had the idea of having worship nights with the band every night, “giving the students more of an opportunity to respond to what is happening in their hearts, considering worship is pouring out our love to God, and God often pours into us in that way.” I’m so excited about this!!! God is truly going to be honored through this and He will guide us clearly in direction for the worship.
4. Please keep praying for guidance in figuring out speakers, that God would show us clearly who He wants to speak, that He would place the message of Love Revolution on their hearts and that He would use them to speak to our campus in a powerful way.
5. So I received the following from Dani in an email and she agreed to let me share it with you…I hope it will encourage you as much as it encouraged me.
I just got done counseling for a week at the district Junior High Camp. My old youth pastor came and a lot of what he talked about really hit the head with Love Revolution, getting me even more pumped for this week. I saw 14 jr high girls fall more in love with the LORD this week. I saw them moved in the Spirit, raising their hands in worship to the LORD, realizing that the walk is not about being a good church kid, but falling madly in love with the God of the Universe that is pursuing them. If jr high girls can come to that realization, how much more can college students begin to get that this isn’t a religion, it’s a relationship. This isn’t legalism, its freedom. That they aren’t fighting a losing battle, but there is victory in Christ! This is a love relationship with our all-loving LORD!!!! (ok sorry got a bit excited and threw grammar out the window for a moment lol)
6. Throughout this whole planning process, Chris Kleman has challenged me and others to live out the revolution that we wish to see happen on our campus. I think that the worship team having praise nights every night embodies that. Something that God placed on my heart was the idea of weekly community service projects in the fall within our little family of Love Revolution supporters. Now, this wouldn’t be exclusive to people familiar with Love Revolution, but I think this is a way that the revolution should start with us. If we want to see God truly use our campus to change the community, we need to put our thoughts and words into actions. So if you are interested in helping out with that, let me know!!
7. I would like to be completely frank with you all. I am struggling so much spiritually right now. My apathy and humanity are hindering me from living the life God wants me to live. It’s frustrating…I almost didn’t even write this email. Thankfully, God saved me, in the same way He has been saving me, with encouragement and contact from others. Still, I am not as steadfast and faithful as I was when I was surrounded by Christian community. Right now, I feel like I’m living from each spiritual high to the next and I just want to be stable. Please pray for me?
8. Okay, it’s your turn. J Has Christ been moving in your life, showing you things? It doesn’t have to be related to Love Revolution. I would really like to include a praise like Dani’s in every email so please share if God does something awesome for you this week. I think sharing our triumphs in Christ will bring us closer together and of course, encourage us.
Alrighty, thanks so much for reading.
I can feel God filling the balloon of Love Revolution with new air…haha.
Have a blessed week.
lovelovelove,
Jeanette
