Whether or not students were coming back to Penn State for the fall was up in the air until July when the university decided that they were going to allow all 40,000 of their students to return. However, that decision came with many constantly changing restrictions. Here is how one of my co-workers described it, "We were allowed on campus one day and the next day, told something else. We felt tired and were confused at how to best get on campus to share the Gospel. Long story short, as we followed God's leading, we were able to spend most of the first two weeks of the semester meeting students and inviting them into Christian community and Bible studies! We praise God that he has allowed us to meet hundreds of new students!"
Fall Conference: Online Edition!
Typically around this time of year, we pack 400 students student into the Harrisburg Hilton for our annual Fall Student Conference. But since packing people in places is no longer allowed, we will be hosting it online. Our theme this year is Christ Alone, where we will be exploring how Jesus is prophet, priest, and king as we teach through Hebrews 1.
Summer Rest
In August, I had the opportunity to go on vacation with some coworkers & friends. We've been doing this for the past two years now and I look forward to continuing to do so in the future. I also took Kate (my girlfriend) camping with my family to a campground that I grew up going to. We got to enjoy rest, my family, God's creation, and some fishing!

Ways You Can Be Praying
Pray for Kate and me as we consider the next steps of our relationship.
Pray for wisdom and humility for me as I continue to serve in System and staff require more tech support in their ministry as they learn how to minister remotely.
Pray for Fall Conference that there will be no technical difficulties and the hearts will be turned toward the Lord.
Thank you for your continued prayers and support. If there are any ways that I can be praying for you, please let me know!
