We trust you are doing well. We are fine here in Orlando. This month, we wanted to share Kendra and Nate’s story with you.

Kendra was first exposed to Student Venture through the Coaching Center, Dave’s department. She and her husband, Nate, are now heading up the Student Venture ministry in a rural area of western Pennsylvania. Kendra works fulltime as an intern with Student Venture. Nate is a dairy farmer who volunteers with Student Venture in his spare time. They also attended the training time that Lynn helped lead in Atlanta last fall.

They are having a huge impact in students’ lives. Here are some of the students’ comments following last month’s student conference in Michigan that Kendra and Nate were able to take them to.

"I received God...I accepted Christ into my heart. God is my Savior. He is my friend and I have grown closer to Him. God will love me for eternity even if I still sin. I will live eternity in heaven."
 -Mira

"I've truly learned that God really loves me no matter what...I am also now able to feel that I can share anything with anyone, admit my sins, and know that if I ask for forgiveness and confess, that my sin will be no longer remembered."
-Rachel

 "I learned that no matter what I do, [God] will always take me back...I learned that grown men do cry. I need to fellowship more with believers rather than worldly people."
 -Lance

"I believe that God is trying to make me a bigger and stronger Christian...I think that I need to become more of an evangelist. And be able to spread the word of God more than I have been."
 -Michael

 "...I learned that wading into a river to my ankles and knees is not enough. I need to dive in head first...and let God take me wherever He wants me to go...I will be a bigger leader and not stray from the flock, I will be the one to help find the stray..."
 -Jed

Please pray that God would continue to prosper Nate and Kendra’s ministry. They would especially appreciate your prayers in regards to finding someone who could help with some of their administrative tasks.
