Mike Garcia Baptized

This morning Mike Garcia, one of our Kats for Christ students, clothed himself with Christ in the waters of baptism at the church building. Many praises go up in heaven for an agnostic turned Christian! He confessed this morning that he wanted to do this to turn away from his sins and walk a new life in Christ. I love the reminder to live up to our baptism in dying to ourselves today and living for God today.

Website Redesign

We have just updated the Kats for Christ website. It is much more interactive and informative than we've had before. Throughout the rest of the summer we will be tweaking, adding, and enhancing the features on the website so the new students in the fall will be blessed by it.
Please help us with this process by spending a little bit of time (maybe 10 minutes) on the website. Besides becoming better informed about what is going on in our ministry, you will aid us in making this the best place it can be for our students, alumni, friends, and parents.
Let us know if there are major oversights, unclear explanations, misspelled word, or broken links. Also let us know what features would be beneficial for YOU personally. What would you like to see on the website?

LST Party

Hey everyone,

I wanted to let you know about our Let's Start Talking teams preparing for their summer projects. As part of their training, each of our 4 teams is responsible for putting together a party. They will do the same thing during their projects this summer, so they are learning now how to do that by actually putting on a party.

The first team up is SHSU Team Italy (Travis Esquivel and Jonathan Rowe). TONIGHT is the night! The party starts at 8:30pm so there is time to get to the KFC Building after church. There is a facebook event (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=115333001815259&index=1) to which you can respond if you must let everyone know you are coming.

If you haven't met these two guys (and the rest of our teams!), join us for a great time of fun! Your support will go a long way in helping our teams be prepared to share Jesus and share themselves this summer. I hope you make it!

KFC Let's Start Talking Projects

The spring semester is in full swing and we are loving it! God is moving in students' lives, bringing them to various levels of commitment. Some are learning to go deeper in their faith through all our service opportunities and others are making the ultimate commitment to put on Christ in the waters of baptism. Even more students are learning what it means to truly be a Kat for Christ as they mature in their being Jesus' disciple.


One of the huge parts of this spring semester involves training FOUR teams to go on a Let's Start Talking project this summer. We've never had so many making this commitment to go overseas to help people with their conversational English using the book of Luke. These 12 students are meeting weekly to get ready for what God is going to do through them this summer. This is a huge commitment for them!


Here is where you can be a tremendous help and blessing to our ministry. Each worker must raise $2,975 for the Let's Start Talking Ministry to go on a project this year. They must have half their funds in next Monday, February 1! A few students have already passed this mark, but many still have a long way to go. Will you partner with our KFC ministry in helping them raise the necessary funds to go to Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, and Germany this summer?


You can contribute a couple of ways. One, you can go directly to one of the student's team LST pages listed below and contribute securely online with any amount. If you know any of the students that is probably the best way to help them directly. If you don't know which student to give to we have another option. Two, you can go to our KFC LST page and click on the LST KFC Contribution button that will send you to our secure KFC PayPal site to contribute any amount. The money will then be distributed according to those students who need it most to fulfill their commitment.


Our challenge to our KFC alumni and KFC friends is this: we want to find 40 people to give at least $100 this year that goes directly to our students' LST fundraising commitment. Will you help us with this challenge? Know also that any amount will be accepted and is tax-deductible! We praise God that you want to partner with us in sending students all over the world through this ministry.


Here are the teams you can help with any financial contribution:



SHSU Team 1 (Belgium)


  • Austin Atwood
  • Jeremy Baggs
  • Lindsey Montoya

SHSU Team 2 (Italy)



  • Asia Kopp

  • Jonathan Rowe

  • Travis Esquivel


SHSU Team 3 (Switzerland)



  • Alicia Carter

  • Monique Bertrand

  • Samantha Allardyce


SHSU Team 4 (Germany)



  • Jamie Lenz

  • Jessi Pitt

  • Travis Knight




I thank you in advance for your continued support of our ministry. Let me know if you have any questions. If you want suggestions as to one particular student, please let me know that too!


Chris
