Joining Staff Meme

The dorm life...

Almost 5 weeks of living in a dorm - longest dorm stay of my life! Since I went to community college my freshman year, I missed out on living on a floor with girls. It's been fun getting to know the other gals joining staff, hearing their stories, placements/assignments and learning people's routines. Each morning, when I walk into the women's bathroom (conveniently located across the hall) there are a few ladies who are always there. Kelly blow drying her hair, Elizabeth washing her face, Lauren brushing her teeth - we are a clean bunch! Among other things, I'm known as the girl who jams to her iPhone while singing in the shower.

As much as this experience has been joyful, it make me all the more ready for my own place. Decorating rooms, hosting dinner parties, kitchen supplies, as Patty noted "having a glass of ice water at my disposal". So true.

This week, the final week of New Staff Training for Campus Crusade for Christ, is called "MPD Week". MPD stands for Ministry Partner Development. We are receiving training on what it means to invite others to partner with us in furthering His Kingdom. I like the idea of partnership. 

"Partnership: A relationship between individuals or groups that is characterized by mutual cooperation and responsibility, as for the achievement of a specified goal." Last night, we made our first calls to start making appointments to meet with potential partners. Pictured are some friends from my class: Ryan, Taylor and Kelly. We are all working for Jesus Film in some sort of fashion! Its getting me excited about raising support as I join staff with Jesus Film! If you don't know much about Jesus Film, check out some of my recent posts - I've posted a few informative videos and links.Of course if you have questions, I can answer those too! In 9 days, I will begin the drive home, back to Michigan. I should be around for a few months, specifically as long as support raising takes. If you are interested in joining my team, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to talk to you about what that could look like, because there are many ways! Just send me an email hannah.booth(at)cru(dot)org

Final exam at 9 AM today!

During my Into to Theology class, I've learned God is omnipresent. Whenever you read this, I would love some prayers for our final exam! I've learned many interesting things in the past two weeks - from Creationism, End Times, Angelology and Christology. Would you say a quick prayer the exam goes well?
