Journey to Chadron

Last week, all 9 (10 counting the little Wiekamp) of us on the Nebraska Catalytic team headed to Chadron to spend some time on campus meeting with leaders, making new contacts, and then leading men’s and women’s retreats last weekend.

Chadron State College is a great place of encouragement. Students are taking responsibility for the Gospel at Chadron and new believers are welcomed into the community. The women who came to the retreat are mature in their faith, and the men are authentic with one another. The greatest thing about all of this is that these students are incredibly humble. Is everything perfect on their campus? Absolutely not. But, the reality is that God is moving, Chadron is one of our strongest movements in the state, and the potential for growth is great.

Girls like Kate and Tina have humble hearts to serve and are simply moving forward in their relationship with the Lord and with those around them.  When our hearts are humble, God has freedom to use us as He wills.  It is awesome to get a chance to sit down with these girls and others, challenge them with more direction, and champion what needs to be championed, letting them know they are not alone.

Praise the Lord for what He is doing in Chadron!
