Vive Firenze!

Two students and I are leaving for Florence, Italy tomorrow! We'll be there for a week helping the long term staff in the city with ministry on the University of Florence campus. It should be a great time to encourage the staff there, to get a taste of the ministry, and to gain vision for how God could use Oklahoma Catalytic staff and students to help reach Italian students in Florence for Jesus. Please pray for safe and smooth travel and transition into Florence, for energy and dependence on God to work through us, and for the two students, Brad and Becky, to grow and be equipped to share their faith and have a global perspective for the rest of their lives.

Also, the rest of my team will be going to New Orleans to continue the relief work down there. There will be hundreds of students from across the country there to help, both those that know Christ and those that don't. Please pray for God to use this week to bring healing and restoration to the city and people of New Orleans and growth in following Jesus in the lives of those involved.
