Just wanted to give a quick update from TCX. The conference is at the Hilton in downtown Minneapolis and right now Maggie and I (Kristin) are hanging out at a Caribou in the Minneapolis skyway system to catch up on email. We got to see the beginning of the first session last night before it was Maggie's bedtime ;) She LOVED the lights and worship music. We had a great view standing at the back of the ballroom full of over 1500 college students from around the Upper Midwest. I've loved reflecting on the ways this conference has impacted my life...I did a little math and realized this is my 10th TCX...sooo much has happened here. My decision to go into full time ministry. Preparing to leave for Brasil. Introducing Brasilian students to Upper Midwesterners. Meeting Matt (4 years ago!). Lets just say the Lord has used this conference in ways I never would have imagined since I first decided to come as a sophomore at the U of Iowa. Please be praying with us for the 1500 students to make memories of their own and feel the Lord challenging them in specific ways during their four days here.
We also got to meet up with our teammates, Jake and Hilary Mlsna, and talk a bit about what our lives will look like now that we're reporting to work FULL TIME on campus in Mankato! We start officially meeting with our team January 5 to plan for the semester and iron out our roles. It would be an understatement to say we're EXCITED! :) Thanks so much for your prayers and faithful partnership that allows us to be part of this important ministry. We're so blessed and humbled to be in a position to share the Good News of Christ with college students as our job!
Also, if you'd like to experience the conference along with us, check out http://www.gotcx.com/ to see the full schedule and to join us as the conference streams live online. Tom Henderson will be sharing his second message tonight.
I'll try to get a few more updates out during our time here....until then, enjoy the last few days of 2011!
