October Update

Over the past several months, Madi and I have stepped into a new role within Circuit Riders. As our ministry has continued to grow (now with over 300 full-time staff!) we’ve been building more intentional structure. 

We’ve implemented a new operating system to organize our entire ministry, which has been so helpful in managing the many moving parts of Circuit Riders (from college and high school evangelism to international missions, music, media, local outreach and discipleship).

Within this new structure, Madi and I are now part of the executive leadership team for Circuit Riders. I’m serving as Director of Operations for our training department. This means ensuring that the vision of Circuit Riders is executed effectively throughout our training department and in each of our discipleship schools. Our department in CR consists of about 60 staff that are fully devoted to running our Circuit Rider Experience. Our CR Experience is now a year-round project with a school starting in the fall, winter and spring of each year.

I am excited to serve the team in this new role and to grow in my abilities as a leader. For me it is still always about investing into young people and empowering them to do all that God has created them for.

We kicked off our Fall DTS quarter in September with about 150 students here in Huntington Beach! God is already moving powerfully in their lives, and it’s such a joy to see this new generation being equipped to carry the love of Jesus to campuses and nations. We did a Baptism Day at the beach during their gospel week in the school. There were some powerful moments as two students in this school have older siblings currently on staff who had the privilege of baptizing them that day. We are currently in week 4 of the school and there is so much life transformation taking place already.

Madi and I have also had the chance to serve our married couples, spending the past few months being trained to offer pre-marital counseling to couples as they get engaged. We’re excited to open our home to the many engaged couples that come from CR!

The kids started school last month, with Azariah in second grade attending Beachcities Classical co-op and the twins completing one more year of preschool. They’re doing well adjusting to the rhythm of school again!

Madi also has an exciting update. Some of you know that she’s been working on a novel over the past few years. It was a finalist in the American Christian Fiction Writers Genesis contest in September and is currently with agents being considered for publication! So, stay tuned for more updates about her book!

Thank you for standing with us and for all your prayers and support. We’re truly expectant for what’s ahead!
