Sweet Summertime

Jay and I with our Freshmen fraternity guys who all finished discipleship and many of whom
will be leaders next year in their fraternities.

Hello Team!  I hope everyone is doing great, we have finished up the spring semester down here at GSU and are now starting our summer program down here.  Ashley and I are the only staff in Statesboro this summer and so we will be running our summer Cru which starts up this week.  We will be having a weekly meeting as well as meeting with some students, although it wont be as intensive as either spring or fall because we don't have as many students.  We will be trying to reach out to freshmen who will be down here for what GSU calls SOAR, which is a freshmen program designed to help freshmen get used to college life.  Many freshmen will be down here and we have the chance to set up a booth at their organizations night so hopefully we will be able to grab some freshmen and get to know them before the college lifestyle that is so prevalent down here entices them in.

God Rocks Story-One of my student leader is a guy names Beau and he is a Sigma Chi and leads their bible study which has been going really well.  I wanted to share what Beau recently wrote about getting accepted to one of our mission trips, greek summit, which is designed to help greeks become more comfortable sharing their faith and having a ministry in their greek house.  Here is what Beau posted on facebook-

"I am beyond blessed to be accepted to go on Cru's greek summit this summer.  Many prayers have ben answered today.  God is so good and always delivers!  I know He will equip me and WC Hodges (one of our other guys going on greek summit) with the tools that we need to spread the gospel throughout the Eta Zeta Chapter of Sigma Chi, along with the rest of the greek community here at Georgia Southern!  May He have all the glory."

Now that is awesome!  What God is doing at GSU is incredible, and thank you so much for being a part of it!

Prayer requests and Praises
-We have 6 students currently in East Asia on a mission trip.  Pray for their safety, their spiritual health, that God would use them in awesome ways in East Asia, and that they would come back with a greater desire to make His name known!
-We have 7 other students on summer projects within the US ranging from Miami, Colorado, Greek Summit in Destin, and other places.  Pray for a fruitful summer and that God would work in them and through them in mighty ways
-Pray for summer Cru and that we would be able to meet a bunch of freshmen and get them plugged in even before their official school year starts.
-Pray for our students over the summer, many of whom are not going back to great spiritual environments, that God would protect them and keep them strong in their faith.
-Ashley and I are trusting God to raise more support now that a little one is on the way for us so we will be able to provide for our growing family!

Shaving cream fight at the end of year party, so much fun!
We cannot even begin to thank you for your continuing support and prayers for Ashley and I are our ministry.  Your faithfulness to the Lord has allowed us to do what we love and God is using your faithfulness in incredible and mighty ways to impact His kingdom all around the world.  Thank you from the bottom of our heart!
-Ashley, Nick, and Baby Nabors! (and Skye)
