Campus Target

I stood in the front of the conference room while the faces of 19 new potential CT recruits stared back at me.  They had come to take part in CT’s annual April Mini Camp and they had absolutely no idea what they were in for.  Less than 10  minutes after the weekend officially started I [...]

I like a clean house. I wouldn’t say I like cleaning, but I do like the end result. I do have some funny habits when it comes to cleaning though. I’ve been compared to a “tornado”… I guess because I’m all over the place picking things up, dusting, sweeping, folding, and all at the same [...]

I wanted to share with you that I’m currently writing up a proposal to do a mural on our campus with a picture that the Lord has given me together with the words “Love One Another”  in all the different languages of our university’s students (already have 16 translations!) . Please ask that: Permission is [...]

Ivy is a student that I met probably around September or October. A couple weeks ago, I approached her and asked her if she would like to start studying the Bible with me, and she said it was a great idea but wanted to wait until the middle of June. That week I sent her [...]

  Remember when going back to school meant a new lunchbox and 3-ring binder? Wow, I wish life were still like that! It was the first day of school. Part of me was like “McDoogle, don’t worry, you got this. You’ve done this before, it’s just like last semester. No worries.” The other part of me [...]

I didn’t need to look. I didn’t want to move. All I could do was something between laughing and crying as [...]

I have learned a lot about life these past few weeks, and I would feel selfish if I kept it all to myself.  So allow me to share with you three of my recent observations. 1) Speaking all in Chinese all the time is more tiring than I thought it would be. This past week [...]

“CT celebrates its first-ever H-Town Thanksgiving.  Participants cut class to enjoy a homemade meal complete with 3 different kinds of fowl, stuffing, sweet-potato pie, green bean salad, and hot cocoa from home.”  The feasting lasted well into the evening as over-stuffed Americans coupled the digestion process with a football game and Charlie Brown.” “Winter has [...]

So I have officially celebrated my second Thanksgiving in Asia.  I can’t believe how fast the time has gone by; it seems like just yesterday that I was getting on the plane for the first time.  Over a year later, I sit here in awe.  I’m amazed by how much that I can truly say [...]

Wowzers! Walking out of the airport I was completely overwhelmed by wave after wave of emotions. After putting all that I had into seeing this year’s Campus Target team reach Asia, I had just waved the last worker through security at the Rochester airport. The final push to get them there involved crazy things I [...]
