It was exciting for me to see a fellow class mate on the cover of Christianity Today. You can check out the article:

It was so cool to read about something that is growing that seemed like a small movement in PA and see that it has been happening all around the US. It might even be an international thing.

When we were in school it was an amazing transformation, or as Shane calls it a converstion when we were in the community. It was such a rush to be part of a group that was making a difference in the world. It is amazing to see these guys continue what we started as college students. I remember how my friend Chris Lahr mentored Josh Loveland and myself to go into the streets and hang with people living on the sidewalk. Then seeing the Eastern campus catch fire to go out to the city rather than stay in the comfortable campus. We were challenged to see the Gospel in a new light as we lived and communed with the poor.
