This last week has been awesome! I've had some good spiritual conversations with my coworkers this week. One of my coworkers, Anthony, asked me this week where I get my motivation to work so hard everyday and work with a purpose. This gave me an opportunity to share that I work as if my work was for the Lord and bring him glory through my hard work. I also told him how I gain my strength from walking in the power of the Holy Spirit. This was great to see how the Lord has used a lot of hard work this summer to bring yet another spiritual conversation. I encourage ya'll to depend on the strength of the Lord for all of your works so that you can bring him glory in all that you do.
This has also been a great week in growing in community with the other students on summer project. I have had quite a few great deep conversations with other students that are priceless. I have made lifelong friendship this summer and look forward to growing more and more with them. This project has been a great opportunity to see how a true Christian community lives and works.
Please continue to pray for my conversations with coworkers and others I meet here on project and that they continue to glorify the Father and draw people to him. Also, pray for the students here to stay strong in their missions during the last couple of weeks here in Clearwater and continue to work willfully for the Kingdom. Thanks!

Freedom
Happy 4th of July!!!! I hope you're all enjoying your fireworks, because I sure am! This has been a great week so far and I'm really enjoying it. With the staff members gone, the students have been running the summer project since Friday morning. Everything is going great and the transition was smooth. There has been so much growth in the leadership of the students already because they were placed in a position in which their leadership was needed. I also have seen growth in this area during this last week already and in my own walk with the Lord as well. When there is a need in the Body of Christ, the Lord equips people to step up and fulfill that need so that He can be glorified here on Earth. This is definitely being displayed here in Clearwater through the need of the students for leadership and the need of the city for God's Word.
As we've been living here as a community of believers, many of the students have been growing closer and closer with their coworkers, which has been really awesome to see. There are spiritual conversations in the workplace daily. It is great to see evangelism as a lifestyle instead of a singular event, which is how I believe it was intended to be. Being on this project has helped me grow to learn that every relationship that God has blessed me with can be used to help both parties grow closer to God. I can't wait to apply this concept to more relationships back at school when I return to N.C. State and trust that God will work through me to bring glory to His Kingdom.
I ask that you continue to pray for conversations that lead people to learn more about Jesus here in Clearwater and that the Holy Spirit speaks through the students here. Pray for the homeless people in the Pinellas Hope homeless shelter that we've visited twice this summer as well, we've formed many friendships with the men and women there and I truly care about them. And lastly, please pray for a strong community to be held here in Clearwater among the students as the summer progresses. Thank you!
