Team Day with 2100

Yesterday I spent the day with the 2100 team at a farm! (From Madison it does not take very long to get to farm land.) We had a great day of fellowship, learning and discussion. In the morning we read through Romans 12 as well as shared about significant things we've each experienced the past 6 months. Later in the afternoon we talked about our strengths using a training tool called StrengthsFinder. It was interesting and encouraging to learn about how each of us have different strengths, and to think about how we can use what we're naturally good at and enjoy doing in our respective roles. We also had some down time to just relax, spend time together and play games. We also finally got to take a group photo!

 And here I am playing croquet for the first time! And I won! :)

Here are some ways you can be praying for our team:

• Pray that the Team Day would bear fruit in the relationships we have with each other both as Christian brothers and sisters as well as colleagues.
• Pray that our team would continue to work together well towards our mission of communicating the gospel to students.
• Pray for God's provision in our overall financial needs. Each of us has been asked to raise an additional 3-5%.
• We will be joined by 4 new people next week. Adam Jeske will join us as Associate Director of Communications. Angela, Carolyn and Josh are interns who will work with us over the summer. Please pray for good transitions in joining our team and in their move to Madison.
