"I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to
everyone who believes in it..." -Romans 1:16
My Vision
I would love to see the love of God be shown in the lives of our young people today. It breaks my heart that people resort to drugs and violence as a form of satisfaction and emotional "peace." I hope and pray that God will use my life to glorify His name and be a witness to today's young peple.
Thank You
I would like to thank you all who have contibuted to my ministry through finances, prayer or other contributions. I pray that God continues to shine His truths in your life. If you would like to become part of the minstry team, feel free to contact me. God Bless!
My Mission
My mission is of the LORD. The true love of Jesus and what He did on the cross has set me on fire for the spread of His gospel. I long and pray that God will continue to take complete control in my life and bless the path He has laid out for me.

Tonight was the last night that staff was leading project. Some fly out tomorrow, others on Saturday. Now project is 100% student led! Pray that the students here will ask God to work through them with His Spirit so He can answer it willfully. The staff handed it over with a cool candle lighting ceremony as a way of passing the torch. The night included a picnic, prayer, and some sweet worship.
On Sunday my impact group, which is one female bible study and a male bible study, got together and ate at a restaurant called The Bonefish. The bang bang shrimp there was the bomb! On Monday that same group went mini-golfing. It was a total blast and was some sweet fellowship! Ill try to get pictures up later this week from that. After golfing, we had bible study. Since the staff is leaving, they put students in charge of our bible studies. That Monday was my first time ever leading a bible study and God defiantly showed up. It was really cool seeing God work in my words without even realizing what I said sometimes!!
God has really showed me this week that EVERYONE is a leader. Just because some people have a leadership title does not mean they are the only leaders. Most Christians can be leaders in this world by their actions instead of their words. It is important for us to understand that Gods plan for us is sweeter than we can ever imagine, all we have to do is His will and the rest will play out.
Lastly, today my bible started a 31 day Proverbs study. The study entitles reading one Proverb a day until the end of July (31 days, 31 Proverbs). If you are interested in participating, feel free to e-mail me and I will send the study to you every couple days. Please send to this e-mail address: beau_s09_hotmail.com.
Here are the prayer requests for the next couple days: Safe travel for staff, Students stepping up to be leaders, Racheal-that her back will be healed of the cancer (she is on project and in my impact group), Kelsey-that her brain surgery will go well on July 12 (a friend of a girl on project), for the people who are broken-that God will break them until they see the Truth that is the cross

Hey everyone,
First things first, I am really sorry for not updating this earlier. This summer wouldnt be what it is without you guys supporting me and Im sorry I havent been updating you enough. I promise I will do my best to change that. Here is what God has been doing the last 2 weeks:
June 6-12 was Killing the Giants week. It was all about sharing the gospel constantly around the community. After a long and exhausting week, all 115 of us initiated 2,700 conversations! The gospel was shared around 600 times with 101 people making a decision to change their life and follow Jesus! It was sweet seeing God move and He showed us that He will always exceed our expectations.
June 13-19 was All for One week. The week started off with the NMB staff dancing to "We're All In This Together" from High School Musical. If you want to see the vidwo, check it out on my facebook page. It was a week where the 92 students on project had to do communicate feverishly in order to get different tasks done on project such as waking up for work on time. It was really cool seeing everyone come together halfway through the week. On Saturday we played a student vs. staff softball game. It was a blast. I managed the team so I didnt get to play, but it was still the most fun Ive had playing sports in a long time. It was cool seeing all the love, even if someone messed up. God defiantly showed me love and kindness during that game.
On Sunday Quincey Faul and Todd Senger, two friends from NDSU, flew down to see us. They are with us until tomorrow morning, so pray for their travels. It was really cooling seeing them and sharing stories about how God has been moving this summer.
Sunday was also the beginning of World Vision week. This week we will be concentrating on the unreached people of the world whom need the Gospel of Christ. Pray this week for people to answer the call to do missions over seas. Pray for the people of the world who dont know that Gospel. Pray that they will be freed from a governmental lock down and that they will be able to hear the good news. Although the gospel is the good news, I want you to remember this: the Gospel is only good news if it gets there in time (Carl F. H. Henry).
Once again, I am sorry for not posting earlier. Pray taht God will help me find time to contact the people that mean a lot to me.
P.S. Check out the new photos and video I posted! Be sure to pause the music when you watch the video. The video was made at our winter conference, not by me.

Tonight Mark Brockberg informed us that today is the 66th anniversary of D-day at Normandy, when the alliance began to sweep Europe to hold off communism. In celebration of this anniversary, we on project are having Facing the Giants Week, where we will begin a large assault on Satan and his lies in our neighborhood. Today is the day we will stop caring what everyone thinks of us, whether it be because of our looks or what we believe in. It is time for a revelation. We will storm the beach and our neighborhood this week. Sam, Joel and I had a great night of prayer tonight. The LORD showed up and has filled us to a point where we are on an extreme high for His gospel. Please pray that God will stomp out the lies of Satan and allow His glorious gospel to be spread to the whole beach. IT IS TIME TO STORM THE SHORES OF NORTH MYRTLE BEACH!!!! Operation Overload, baby!!!! God bless you all and please spend extra time in prayer this week for us. This week will be very busy, so don't expect an update until Saturday or Sunday.

This is just a quick prayer request update, I ask that you pray for my back. It has been acting up at work lately at work and it has been hard to keep a positive attitude while I am working. Also pray for my coworkers that God will help open their hearts to the gospel. One last prayer request: Please pray for our neighbors, resent high school graduates, that God will open their hearts to what the Holy Spirit says through us.
Thanks everyone!

Hey yall,
Things are going well in NMB. I started work yesterday at the grocery store. It is called Boulineau's and I work in the meat/seafood department. I know what you're thinking, I can't get away from working with meat, and you're right. On a different note, tonight we went out sharing because Tuesdays are our outreach nights where we walk around the beach and the rental homes to talk to people about Jesus. There were some really neat stories and God is really going to work down here. If you could, please pray for Ben. Ben is a high school senior whom just graduated on Saturday. I spoke with him today and opened His heart to the possibility of Christianity thanks to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Pray that God will soften Ben's heart and show him His true existence.

Hey yall! We got to NMB (North Myrtle Beach) today at around 3:00 pm. The ride was crazy. All together from Linton to NMB I drove for 31 hours. When we got here it was cloudy and humid. I unpacked right away and then went down to the ocean to put my feet in for the first time ever. We are 1 block away from the beach, which is really nice. Our bedroom consists of 2 bunks, putting 4 people in each room. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and we share a kitchen/dining room area with 2 other rooms. So far, things are going OK, but I ask you to pray that God will refuel me tonight both physically and mentally because I have been very tired. Also, pray for tomorrow night for it will be our first time sharing the gospel on the beach!
Thanks everyone and God bless!

"I will celebrate before the LORD, I will become even more undignified than this" - 2 Samuel 6: 21b-22a
I grew up Christian in small-town, USA and had a family who attended church EVERY Sunday. Most people described me in high school as the outgoing, loud and funny kid. Throughout these years I tried to keep up that reputation and stumbled into piles of sin such as pride, greed,ignorance and placing others before God. I thought that going to church on Sunday was "good enough" and I thought it would outweigh all my sin because I was a "good person." I thought that I was going to gain my own salvation by doing good things to outweigh the bad things I was doing. It wasn't until college when I learned that I couldn't earn my own salvation when someone shared this verse with me:
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the
gift from God-not by good works, so that no one can boast" --Ephesians 2:8,9
This verse showed me that no matter what I do, I can't earn salvation. Salvation is a gift from God and all I had to do was accept it. It wasn't until I realized what my salvation cost when I really turned my life around. What Jesus did for me on the cross is unspeakable. Jesus was whipped, beat, spit on, cursed and mocked because of the very sin I indulge in. I praise God for convicting me of my ignorance and changing my life with his Holy Spirit.
I am by all means NOT perfect. I used to be just a sinner, but now I am a sinner redeemed by Christs blood. PRAISE GOD! I am now crazy about Jesus. I thank God for placing on my heart the urge to not conform to this world. Like David said in 2 Samuel 6:21b-22a, I will become even more undignified than this and celebrate before the LORD no matter what this world thinks of me.
If any of you have any questions I would love to answer them. There is so much more to my story than this, just ask me and I will tell you. If you want to know more about Jesus, please let me know. I will do my best to plug you in with the God breathed scriptures of the bible, not my opinion, but Jesus' truth. God Bless you all!
