20 to launch

So as many of you may know I'm getting ready to leave Oregon for the next year.
I'm going to be heading to Hume Lake where I'll be the lead staff in the dish room, for those of you that don't know what exactly Hume is, its the largest Christian Camp in America and i would dare to say the world. They host over 10,000 high school students alone during the summer, there are also middle school and grade school programs, there are collage camps and the discipleship school Joshua for post High school young adults.
In the off season, i.e. winter, Hume has a number of conferences ranging from a conference specifically for def and the heard of hearing,(i cant wait for this one, the worship music is amplified through a number of massive sub woofers so you can feel the music) to fathers son and mother daughter conferences.
Its going to be amazing being there for the next year, I was able to be summer staff there last Summer just before heading to YWAM, and now ill have the chance to influence people working under me at a place i have grown to love over the years.
Besides being staff there and living there last summer I was a three year camper and a counselor for my church this last summer.

A look for whats to come,
I have recently been looking to University Of Oregon, as much as I may not like it I do value education and I'm going to be most likely moving to Eugene in the fall of 09 and start working for my degree.
My heart for missions is what is driving me to college. I will be working towards international studies and religious studies, I think to be as effective as I can I need to understand other cultures and religions. That's about it for now, I'm going to keep this blog updated so I don't go crazy. thanks for stopping by,
In Him, Matt
