The Stromwall's

• We spent one week in Milwaukee, WI with 500 college students.  Our theme of “Rest”, which comes from what Jesus says in Matthew 11:28: “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest,” was enriching to us personally and to many students as we explored a lot of different topics together.  It was full of late nights and lots of conversations! Katie stayed with two freshman: Leah E. and Leah B. and a senior, Justine.  Nick stayed with three men: Jake, Larry, and Luke.

Nick and Jake H.

· “Praise the Lord! Our room was filled with honesty, vulnerability, tears over sin and suffering in our lives, joy over the forgiveness through Christ in our lives, and lots of laughter and fun!”  – Katie

· “I wore a lot of hats at the conference with all of the planning and getting around students.  By God’s grace, the conference ran really smoothly and I was able to get a lot of one-on-one’s with students to read the bible alongside the administrative responsibilities as well.”  - Nick

· Katie shared a personal testimony during our women’s breakout of her identity struggle as a woman and how it relates to physical appearance/being thin. She sang a song she has been writing as she has wrestled through this struggle.
