Spring 2010, Part II

My teammate Wendy and I found this graffitied wall in downtown Kansas City and mused over its irony as we posed for this photo - as followers of Jesus, our lives are anything but trampled by normalcy. Rather, we’ve jumped headfirst into the thrill of adventuring with Holy Spirit in the urban core. Just two weeks ago I was out for a run in my ghetto neighborhood when I felt Holy Spirit direct me down a particular street and give me a word for the 18-year-old single mother of two waiting at the bus stop on the corner. Her face lit up as she told me she’d just given her life to Jesus mere weeks before. She knew absolutely nothing of the ways of God and was in dire need of a spiritual family. It’s been such a delight to begin taking her through the God Story, along with a few other single moms and brand new believers the Father has placed in our paths.

These days I’ve been traveling to campuses around Kansas and Missouri, encouraging students to participate in the 2010 Year of Prayer. I’m also busy preparing for the summer - I’ll be co-leading another Student Church Planting Experience and the whole Campus America team is gearing up for an epic gathering of students at Northfield, the original site where the Student Volunteer Movement launched over 100 years ago. I’m most looking forward to my trek to Central Asia. For security purposes I'm not posting information about that trip online, but I hope you’ll email me if you'd like to know more about that trip.

Pray for me, friends! We have a real enemy, who is none too pleased when Hope is being proclaimed. I am in constant need of supernatural wisdom, protection, strength, and provision. I bank on your intercession for me, knowing full well that the Kingdom of Love can only take ground by prayer and obedience. much love, Lindsay

PS: My 8-year-old godson Preston prayed to give his life to Jesus during his stay at my house last weekend :) I’m a happy god-momma!
