Last Thursday evening, I hopped into a van with some of the most amazing people off on a trek to Asheboro, NC. These people are mostly college students who have a heart for the ministry and long to see the Fame of God spread. These students represent the 242 Leadership Team for the College Ministry at Providence Baptist Church.

Our purpose this year more over the purpose of why we exist - to spread the fame of God to a college-age generation by living passionate lives of worship, truth and love.

Notice that word - Fame? Dave O., our college pastor, said it best; “fame is making a name known well”. Notice it is more than just the name of God. Many people have heard God’s named proclaimed. We exists to make His FAME known. That people would know much more about God that just His name. That struck a cord with me - deep down. Do I live in such a way that people around me know more that just God’s name?

After some time of prayer, worship, and vision casting Thursday night and Friday morning the remainder of the leadership team joined us at Camp Caraway, just west of Asheboro. Imagine 60+ (mostly) college students gathered together for that singular purpose - the Fame of God. In addition to gathering to plan out the next years events and how to better equip and serve our students, we fellowshipped together. This included songs, prayers, smores, basketball, ultimate frisbee, and swimming.

It was personally a great time of renewal; to be around students living such passionate lives was a privilage and an honor. My prayer is that by the words I say and the actions I take, may I not detract from God and may His Fame be known.
