Shoutout to my Stephen

Last Monday Eddie was scrolling through twitter and all of a sudden he handed me his phone and said "look at this". It was an article tweeted by a head administrator at Charleston Southern about our boy, his journey to CSU and his call to serve as campus mobilizer in Atlanta for NAMB this summer. Yep that's how we found out about the article and that sums up Stephen, low key, not about to brag on himself, just walking in quiet humility. He has spent countless hours praying over this summer and getting his team together to serve. He's so excited and we share that excitement with him. I can't think of anyone better to do this. He has the most compassionate heart and such a huge desire to see people turn to Jesus. He loves in a big way with a passion for Christ to match. We are expecting God to do some huge things this summer in Atlanta and all over the country as teams are sent out to share the gospel and love on people where they are. We can't wait to hear the stories that will come out of Atlanta. The future is so exciting not only for this summer but as Stephen graduates and moves into full time ministry. We look with expectancy to what that may be and who God brings in his life to journey and serve with him. 
This generation is serious about their walk with Christ. They are fearless and passionate. Can I encourage you to pray and speak words of life and encouragement into them? There's enough people who want to bash them and criticize. There's always people finding fault and expecting them to fail. When I hear that all I can think of is "well who raised them?". Give them some shoutouts of praise and love on them. They're going to do amazing things for the sake of the gospel!!
