Harvesters Retreat & Braymer Revival

We had 32 students attend our planning retreat at West Central Christian Service Camp this weekend and it went very well. Lots of new ideas for the semester and the unique observation from our Student Leader Jessie Lowe that most of the freshman, for the first time, were mission majors that attended. More and more students are specifically choosing Central because of the mission emphasis the school now has!

We took the new Central worship group, One Accord, with us to Braymer Christian Church for a mission revival as well. We returned from the retreat, and turned around and went to Braymer for a very full and busy weekend. I preached three times and led 3 workshops in less than 24 hours! The 13 students attending and participating were a big help and it is so exciting to see so many get involved in promoting missions along with us in the area churches. The minister at Braymer, Ashton and his wife Amber, are still planning to go to East Asia and have a specific Business as Mission Plan to implement once they depart. It is exciting to see our past students still focusing on the goal of reaching the Chinese for the Lord in out of the box type of methods.
