The first month of 47five17 has been pretty amazing...

Why? Well, let's just enumerate, shall we?
  1. Not many students knew me that well.
  2. It was announced it at church, but not much more than that advertising-wise.
  3. A lot of students were coming off a pretty crappy senior year at church.
  4. We're not a college town, per se. (But then again we are the home of Oakwood University!)
  5. We haven't thrown a bunch of money at it.
Why has it gone so well so far? Let's enumerate...
  1. Pastor Jeff has been behind it from before day one and has supported it big time.
  2. You guys were way ready for something that wasn't HS, but was young adult.
  3. A lot of you were coming off a pretty crappy year at church and were ready to engage.
  4. There were more than a few that decided to stick around GSC...sweet.
  5. The students and young adults of Chestnut Mountain like my hair.
  6. Prayer.
Good times.
