Hey guys!
You've made it to week 2 of the semester! Woohoo! I hope you've been able to get back into the swing of things and are excited for this semester!
Thanks for everyone who came out to the cook-out despite the rain. It was good to see and meet everyone!
And to all who went rafting, but did not yet pay, please bring your money to NavNite and give it to Josh. :-)
Here are some upcoming events...
1) FIRST NAVNITE OF THE SEMESTER! It's this Thursday at 8:00pm in Student Center Room 343 (above the food court). It's going to be a great time of fellowship and worship! Be there! :-)
2) Get connected and dig into the Word! Bible studies are starting up again, so if you haven't yet, sign up at NavNite or email Josh Harkey at harkey@gatech.edu if you're interested.
3) Mark your calendar for Fall Conference! It will be October 1st-3rd in Black Mountain, NC. It's going to be incredible! Learn more about it at NavNite.
"Let us acknowledge the LORD;
let us press on to acknowledge him.
As surely as the sun rises,
he will appear;
he will come to us like the winter rains,
like the spring rains that water the earth."
Hosea 6:3
Keep your eyes on our King this week and look for ways to show God's love to others!

Our Welcome Back Cookout is this Thursday, August 26th @ 6:30 at the Campanile (the pointy thing in front of the Student Center). We'll be grilling and hanging out. There will be music and you should come because it'll be a sweet way to spend your Thursday night!
Even more exciting is our Camping & Rafting Trip! We'll leave on Friday, August 27th, camp out in Cleveland, TN (it'll be intense!), go rafting on the Ocoee River on Saturday, and then return home. The cost is $50 (half-price for freshmen!). Sign up by emailing Skip Drexler at cdrexler3@gatech.edu.

Have a great week!

[GT Navs] Rafting Trip
Hey Everyone!
I just wanted to remind everyone about the rafting trip this weekend. We'll leave Friday night, and camp out in Cleveland, TN for the night. On Saturday, we'll go rafting on the Ocoee River, and then head back home. You are welcome to come and not raft if that is more up your alley too!
The price is $50 and $25 for freshmen.
This trip is going to be a great opportunity to catch up with old friends, meet some new folks, and have a lot of fun!
If you are interested in coming or planning on coming, send an email by Wednesday to Skip (cdrexler3@gatech.edu) with the following information:
Who are you?
When is the earliest you can leave on Friday?
Can you drive?
Do you have a sleeping bag or tent?
Thanks! Hope to see you there! It's going to be awesome!

[GT Navs] Prayer Chain
Hey everyone!
This is your reminder to sign up for the prayer chain. There is NO better way to start off a new semester than by dedicating it to God and asking him to work: in our lives, in our friends' lives, and in our classmates' lives. We cannot expect God to do anything if we don't ask first! Remember John 16:24- "Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask, and you will receive, and your joy will be complete." Prayer is SO important! I love the way Osawald Chambers said it: "Prayer does not fit us for the greater work; prayer is the greater work."
We still have spots left, and it's going to be awesome so you don't want to miss out. If you missed the original email, we're basically going to be praying for 24 straight hours as a ministry. Each person takes one hour to pray over the course of the day- in this case the first day of classes (Monday, August 23). All you have to do is put your name down. Most of the time slots we have left are during the day on Monday- the slightly more difficult middle-of-the-night time slots have all been filled.
Go here to sign up: https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AmrdmWJuei6NdDRnWHpWa1dEbnI3blVCcU83dTFHanc&hl=en#gid=0
If you've never spent an hour in prayer with God, then get ready to have your mind blown! That's like only taking naps your entire life and then realizing for the first time that you can get a full nights sleep. :) If the idea scares you, just let me know- all you need is a little bit of direction. Trust me, by the end you won't want to stop!
Let me, Erin, or Jason know if you have any questions!

Pull out your calendars, because here are some important upcoming events....
Our Welcome Back Cookout is on Thursday, August 26th @ 6:30 at the Campanile (the pointy thing in front of the Student Center). We'll be grilling and hanging out. There will be music and you should come because it'll be a sweet way to spend your Thursday night!

"The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed,
to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." -Luke 4:18-19
Let's be intentional about the year ahead and remember what God's called us to do! Can't wait to see everyone! And check out our newly working website if you get the chance!
Thanks!

Hey Everyone!
I hope you're all having wonderful summers and I am very excited to see all of you again soon! Also, I'm really pumped about having us all together in one place again for some awesome fellowship!
I am writing because we are going to start a 24-hour prayer chain (where we all pray in one hour shifts) on the first day of classes! We can plan, set goals, hope for good grades, and try to influence people but if we don't invite the Lord into our plans we are bound to be exhausted and frustrated. Let's start off this school year unified together as gt navs, beseeching the Lord and asking for His grace, His strength, and His Spirit to reign through our lives. The Lord has given us so much; so let's sacrifice this hour of our time to be with Him.
Here's how it works. We're going to pray in hour increments so a different person prays every hour, and by the end of the day we, as a ministry, will have prayed for 24 hours non-stop! You sign up by going Here and putting your name next to the hour that you would like to spend in prayer during the first day of school (so don't plan to do it while you're in class), once you type in your name, make sure you save the document (very important). Then during that time on Monday, August 23rd, pray during that hour. You can do this wherever you want that is quiet: in your room, outside, your hall lounge, wherever (but probably not in your bed!). And it sounds silly, but some of the best times to pray are really early in the morning, there's something special about being alone with God when everyone else is asleep.
Now some of you are like "Whoa Erin! An hour is a long time to pray! That's like two episodes of Degrassi! Or over half a soccer game!" An hour can seem like an intimidating amount of time to spend in prayer, but if it is broken down into increments then it's not as scary sounding. I have attached two suggested formats of spending an hour in prayer that will lead you through things to do or things to specifically pray for that will make your time with God flow more easily. Certainly you can break your time down however you want, but if you would like some guidance these should help! I encourage you to try it out, even if it makes you nervous, nobody grows if they're comfortable!
Don't put off signing up or you'll forget! Do it right now while you're thinking about it. It takes two seconds and then you're guaranteed some wonderful fellowship time with the Lord before we dive head on back into school!
This is going to be awesome but we have to be in this together!
I love you all and miss your smiling faces!
You're sister,
Erin
