WITHOUT A MONSTER OR TWO...

After coming to Christ her freshman year at Kansas State through Campus Crusade, serving on staff at SMSU for 8 years, Debrecen Hungary for 2 years, and St. Louis for 9, Amy Karst has not lost that CCC world changer feeling. A perspective she has gleaned over her years on staff is that "I stay on staff partly because it's still my responsibility to 'come help change the world.' I love being surrounded by people of vision who challenge my faith."

Crusade staff value students so highly, it's easy to cast the vision that they can reach the world for Christ. It's more subtle when we start believing that it's their turn to reach the world, or as a mom, to see today as my kids' turn to make a difference

As a staff mom of four, Amy is able to find profound truths in the simple things, exegeting Biblical truth from classics like Pooh's Grand Adventure. One of her favorite quotes from the book of Pooh: "Without a monster or two, it's hardly a quest; merely a gaggle of friends wandering about." Who needs the Purpose Driven Life For Children when you have a Mom like Amy? To find out more about Amy and her passion for things like Yu-gi-oh click the profile section.

At the senior staff leadership conference Paula Hink offered to get us going on Facebook. Facebook users can find the group "gpi senior staff RULE!" and ask to be a part of the group. Paula will then approve you. Thanks Paula for your hard work and leading out in this!

Being the first post of the month we have a new gravel road competition. What state would you be in if you were on this frozen dirtway? Hint: As much as you want to guess Kansas or Nebraska, it is not in the Great Plains region.


First one to e-mail me the right answer will get the book of the month which was another suggested read from our time in Estes Park- Divided By Faith by Michael O. Emerson and Christian Smith. A must read for our times and changing culture so keep the guesses coming until next week.
