Impact 360 week 1-3

     Hey everyone. I have started this blog to keep everyone up to date on what is going on with me at Impact 360. So, every weekend I will be keeping everyone updated on what my week has looked like. I have just started it up so I will do the best I can to give everyone a summary of the past three weeks.
     Week one was strictly orientation. We were taught more about the program and what our stay at Impact would look like. Towards the end of that week we had a guest professor from Precept ministries come and teach us about how to effectively lead a small group.
     Week two I had the privilege to hear from J.P. Moreland and go on the Vision of Values Tour. We prepared ourselves for Dr. Moreland's visit by reading his book, Kingdom Triangle, it is a fantastic book about first and foremost what he described as a hunger for drama in a thin world. Then he went throughout the rest of the book talking about the seven traits of the empty self, five questions to ask anyone with a differing worldview, and he very clearly outlined the worldviews of naturalism and postmodernism. On the Vision of Values Tour we rented a charter bus and first ate at the original location of the first Dwarf Grill, now known as the dwarf house. Then, we went and visited the site of the first in-mall Chick-fil-a. After that we toured the Coke headquarters since they are so closely partnered with Chick-fil-a. After that we stopped off at the Varsity to eat. Then, we went to Chick-fil-a headquarters and took the tour. After that we went and had a Chick-fil-a executive teach us the first two letters of the SERVE model. After this we went the John and Trudy White's house (Truett Cathy's daughter and son-in-law) and had a Mexican fiesta while swimming.
     Week three we learned from Winshape's Garland Vance. He taught us how to effectively share the gospel from Genesis to Revelation in under four minutes. After Mr. Vance's three day stay we hosted preview students on campus Thursday and Friday. We were able to have them stay in our rooms and give them tours of the campus. Finally, we had an etiquette class where we learned both the Continental and American style of eating. We did this to prepare for our Brazil trip in January.
    Please be in prayer for me as next week I will be on the Adventure Module. Quite simply put it is us, God, and his creation as we go on a five day backpacking trip. Thank you all and God bless!
