What Will We Do Without Him?

Cecil Smart (one of our team members who has a bit farther of a commute) was able to spend five weeks with us in J'ville this summer. He recently headed back up to Sterling University in Kansas where he is pursuing a youth ministry and exercise science degree.

What does one have to do with the other you may ask? Coaching is a fabulous way to connect with kids....an excercise science degree is an excellent way to connect with coaching!

While here, he fit right into the team as though he has been here all along. He helped lead a mission trip to New Orleans, led our weekly youth nights, hung out with kids - including often letting them spend the night, got students immunized, physicals, registered for school, onto football teams...the list goes on.




But more than the things he does...who he is was a huge asset to us and our neighborhood. He has an uncanny ability to relate to students and speak truth into their lives. He is a great leader who takes initiative as he lives out the gospel while living among the students all day, every day.
We are so excited about the partnership we are developing with him and can't wait to see how God will continue to lead all of us in the next couple of years.
