This year, an estimated 125,000 people, mostly young families, filled Broadway Blvd in Midtown, KC to be Irish and watch the 36th annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade, one of the largest in the nation.

For the International House of Prayer in Kansas City (IHOP–KC), the day begins at 7AM as hundreds of people gather for prayer and last minute instructions before hitting the streets.  Their goal is to engage the gathering parade crowd with the truth about Jesus Christ.  Varied evangelism strategies include:
•    St. Pat tract distribution teams  
•    Street preacher, musician and heckler teams
•    St. Pat survey teams
•    Prophetic evangelism teams
•    Video interview teams

Spring Break 2009

Good morning!  Hope you are all settled into the time change by now.  I love the added hour of daylight in the evenings!  I just got home from Colorado, visiting Bobby, for Spring Break.  It was wonderful to have a week off from studies to relax and enjoy some time with him and his family...but the break was too short; classes start back up Monday.

During my visit to Fort Collins, we did a lot...skiing in Winter Park, rock climbing, Hot Springs in Steamboat Springs, visited his family and new niece in Greeley and took a 400-mile drive through the Poudre Canyon.  I'll try to post a video of our pictures so you can view them.  We had so much fun and really enjoy each other's company!

Bobby works with Campus Crusade for Christ on the campus at Colorado State University with a team of eight (and five little ones) in Fort Collins, CO.  It was really exciting to see their team in action to impact the lives of students at CSU.  We attended their weekly meeting on Thursday for a worship and testimony night from several students.  They are definitely making an impact!

Also, my sister comes to visit tomorrow through Wednesday.  I imagine I'll be really jealous as she continues to sleep while I'm off to school.  =)  It'll be a lot of fun having her here while she's on Spring Break!

Monday begins the second half of semester!  It's hard to believe we only have eight weeks left!  Thank you for your prayers!  Have a blessed weekend!
