He is risen!! And He is MOVING!!!

Hello Family!!!

I hope you all had an AMAZING Easter weekend!! What an amazing God we have!

I wanted to share a quick story with you all and an update.

David Augustine is a freshman at San Diego State University and has been going to SDSU Young Life for almost 6 months now. I met David early on in the year and had a few interactions with him at club. He was always polite and inviting to everyone around him and is quite honestly one of THE funniest guys I have come to know. When we were able to get a van with a lift (praise the Lord!!!) Tavo and I went to College YL one night and told David that we would be taking him to In N Out in the van. It was the most hysterical and uplifting time I had in a long time. At the end of the night David nicknamed the van "The Beast" haha (a name still in effect today). Just this past Wednesday David and I were leaving Flood Church's College Group (for our second visit there together) and when I asked David if he had a good time, he replied "Dude Tobias, I am so glad I came tonight!" I was surprised and joyful so I asked "Awesome! Why all the enthusiasm?" and he responded "It's just crazy how all this time we have had together has lined up so perfectly. God is moving and I can feel him moving in me. It is awesome" Profound words for a college freshman experiencing his first church college group. I was so excited to hear David say those words, God is moving. David is now in conversation with the Area Director of the SDSU Young Life group about training to become a leader for Young Life!! David has answered God's call on his life to love the lost and to spread the news about Jesus Christ to teens and young adults. YES!!!

God is moving in San Diego in the lives of teens and young adults with disabilities and David's story has caused me to make my own altered version of the popular "He is risen...He is risen indeed!" motto. I now feel the urge to shout aloud "He is risen...and HE IS MOVING!!" Jesus is active and changing lives in our city and I am so happy to be able to share the good news with YOU about what He is doing in San Diego Capernaum and Young Life.

Let Easter not only be a reminder to us about what Jesus Christ did but also what He is doing! Praise God for using us and allowing us the blessing to see His work!

Blessings and Happy Easter!
