Like A Lion

This semester at Radford University has been revitalizing.

For the first time here, I feel alive.

I am finally coming to grips with how big our God really is. He is moving in the New River Valley. He is the reason for this revival.

Cant you see it?

He is surely alive. He is living on the inside-roaring like a lion.

I cant be thankful enough to be a part of the awakening.

For the majority of this school year, I have been a part of a launch team working to start a church in the New River Valley- Valley Bible Church. Through the church, the Lord has taught me so many things. I am beginning to see the groundwork for transformation in this community and it's such a gratifying experience to be on the frontline.

I have been blessed with the opportunity to cultivate new relationships that seem to have been there for years while still strengthening old ones. Valley Bible Church has helped this place not just be school to me but rather home as well.

The Lord has instilled a desire to live missionally-loving the poor and broken to give beauty for ashes-to trade in a blanket of heaviness for a spirt of praise.

There is peace in the life that Jesus has to offer and for the first time here, I feel alive.

For He is living on the inside-roaring like a lion.

  1. That's awesome! Radford DESPERATELY needed a good church when I was there. Is Valley Bible Church where my friends Pradeepa and Katie and Jenny and Jesse Furey go? Or is that a different one?
