It’s clear that today’s students rely heavily on electronic devices even when they’re not incorporated in the classroom. In one survey of college students, 38% said they couldn’t even go 10 minutes without switching on some sort of electronic device. But how students are using their devices, h…

April Book of the Month: Servolution: Starting a church revolution through serving
There is a movement that is rumbling throughout the Body of Christ — a revolutionary army of people ready to take up the mandate to pursue the lost, the forgotten, and the poor to show them a God who is passionately in love with them. Servolution is a revolution of serving others. The troops are followers of Christ, the companies of soldiers are churches, and the weapons are towels for service. Through the story of what God is doing at Healing Place Church, Servolution will inspire you to serve, and it will give you tons of practical ideas and strategies to get you started. Change your world - start a revolution through serving.
In Servolution, Dino Rizzo shares the story of his relentless pursuit of ways to bless the lost, poor, and hurting people of his community in Jesus’ name. You’ll be amazed and inspired by the incredible ways God has used Healing Place Church to meet the needs of thousands of people. Each chapter includes practical suggestions and resources for use in any church.
Be encouraged by the testimony of how God’s Spirit can use a simple passion to serve to revolutionize your approach to ministry. Wherever you are and whatever your gifts, you can play a vital role in this revolution through serving.

CASA VIEW D-NOW
So I got to go speak at a D-Now for Casa View Students, and it was amazing. The theme for the week was to “wonder know more”, and we discussed knowing God in a real, intimate way. I loved getting out of the southlake bubble, and seeing students from Dallas, all from other schools, and what their relationship with God looked like. I have so much to learn from Scott (@_scotto_) their YM as to knowing about each student and what is going on in their lives right now. We talked about Paul, and his belief that “KNOWING CHRIST > _____________ ” and how important our heart for God is. I know God has big plans in store for the students at Casa View, and I cant wait to hear about the work He does in their lives as they pursue a knowledge of Him that abounds in love and understanding.
I got a text from one of the students, and she was so excited after the weekend. She said, “Guess wat just happened in me dat feels so wonderful…I just felt God touch my heart, where it feels likes he’s in me now…i’ve been waiting for so long…I want to cry cuz im so happy.”
Isn’t that why we do what we do?
