Phew, what a crazy Labor Day weekend! I was telling Daryl earlier today I wish that churches & religious organizations weren't so obligated to do so many things on the holiday so we could rest too. Well, I guess it is a great opportunity to reach out to new people. Anyway, Wash U had a praise night Saturday where one of the worship leaders I disciple was leading. It went really well even though they had a couple of technical problems, the place was packed and stayed packed (ie. no one left midway through haha). We ran out of chairs as over 100 people flooded the event. The praise night also served as a 'get to know more' about ACF, Harambee and One Voice - the three undergraduate ministries at Wash U here in STL. I came to Christ through One Voice so I'm a little bias but it was great to see so many people in fellowship and having a great time that night.
SLU also had a BBQ and praise night that I led worship for yesterday (Labor Day). Things went really well in the end even if it was a little awkward being outside and worshiping in the middle of a bunch of Sorority house meetings (it must have been the perfect location to get together with people). But overall, I think it was great and there were quite a few new faces who all hung around afterwards to get to know each other.
Thanks for all your prayers! I go down to Mizzou on Thursday but will be trying to take it easy Tomorrow after the crazy weekend.

Hey Jon.
As U can see I found your blog, and I get what your ministry is now: WOW. Don't care what you say: you're busy, but blessed. Do come up for air, though. (plant those seeds!) Will be keeping you and your efforts @ Mizzou in prayer. Talking to new people isn't easy for me, so I know the struggle.
