October 16 was the day that I completed my first year as Pastor to High School Students and Desert Springs Church. Its been a year of crazy adventures. I've been able to take students on a couple of retreats, a marathon party at Disneyland, teach them Jesus' love, and help them connect with God in everyday circumstances. On top of all that I got married to my beautiful wife, Darcy! It has been a busy, and fruitful year at Desert Springs Church.
I'm really proud of our high school students who have trusted our church leaders and have brought their friends into our ministry. When we separated high school students from jr. high students we have a total of 4 students on Sunday morning. A year later we have an average attendance of 15 students! This is exciting news. I'm eager to see what God has in store for our ministry in this next year.
I want to thank two groups of people for their love and support. The first goes to the parents of the high school students. It has been a joy partnering with you in raising your kids to love Jesus. I appreciate your feedback and am excited to hear the endless stories about your kids. Secondly, I'd like to thank my volunteer staff! You have been instrumental to the lives of high school students. Your presence and being available to students is the perfect gift of love for any high school student. Thanks for playing the ridiculous games, praying for our students, and changing their lives one week at a time. Ministry does not happen without you!
THANK YOU for making this past year a wonderful experience!
