I recently spent some time at a conference held at Saddleback Church in Orange County California. Many people know the church because of their amazing pastor Rick Warren. Over the course of the sessions we were taught many concepts from some great pastors. Andy Stanley, Mark Driscoll and Perry Noble we just a few of the great leaders teaching. It wasn’t so much of the main points or emphasis intended that impacted me. It was one statement from Rick Warren that has not left me. “When you experience delay after delay, get ready for a miracle”.

 Now, there is a very serious reason that I latched onto that statement. I have been experiencing delay after delay as it pertains to my book, College Impact: Empowering Collegiate Christians for Campus Influence, for which this blog is named. The first proof looked good, but it was riddled with mistakes. The second proof looked even better, until I went to my wife’s dedication page and saw two typos. Well that just was not going to do. So, we did a third proof and it really looked good. I was so ready to say Print IT! Until the publisher realized that the word Foreword on the cover was spelled Forward. Uugh! So, we went back through the entire book to catch any addition imperfections.

 We are currently waiting to hear from the printer to let us know that the final version (for now) is ready to print. We are going to do the first printing and proof all at the same time, as we are pretty confident that is ready. The point is, I am expecting God to do some miraculous things with this labor of love called, College Impact.

I ask for your prayers, as the goal of the book is to spark an awakening among college believers. We are almost there.
