Hello Nags Head Church!
Melissa and I are glad to re-introduce ourselves to the community. I attended Nags Head Church back when the little white building was all that was there. I was primarily involved in the high school youth group (as many in the youth group introduced me to Christ.) After graduating high school in 2002, I earned two bachelor degree's (Psychology & Sociology) from the University of North Carolina. My wife Melissa (a native from Hatteras) and I were married in August of 2005. Since then we have been preparing for full-time service with the U.S. Center for World Mission an agency that focuses on mobilization, training, strategy, publications and networking. We are currently at the base of the USCM working with a ministry called INSIGHT.
Since 2005, we knew God was calling us to a role in mobilization, "to see people open their eyes to what God is doing in the world and how they can have a strategic part in reaching those who have no access to the gospel." Over the past year God has been refining this vision and has shown us that the most strategic group of people to influence to be world changers are college students. We have a passion for college mobilization and helping them to gain a vision for the nations. This past spring we moved from Durham NC to Pasadena CA in March to work with INSIGHT.
INSIGHT (INtensive Study of Integrated Global History and Theology) is a one year college program designed to give students an overview of how God has been working throughout history to spread His glory, and gives them a chance to see how they can have a role in completing the task. And students can receive up to 32 hours of transferrable credit to take with them as they finish their degree. We love working with college students and helping them to wrestle with deep worldview & theological issues.
Prayer Requests
*Pray for the 15 students enrolled in the INSIGHT program. Specifically that they would be open to what God is teaching them and they would catch the vision of reaching all peoples with the gospel.
*Pray that God will guide us in our relationships with the students, that we would be able to speak truth into their lives and be good role models for them as World Christians.
*Pray for us that we would be renewed and strengthened in our knowledge and understanding of our God.
*Pray for the expansion of the INSIGHT program to locations across the U.S. Locations attempting to start within the next few years: Detroit, MI; Seattle, WA; Gainesville, FL; Durham, NC.
*Pray for the program that started in Ohio, that the community would catch the vision and the program would flourish. Pray for us as we visit this location at the end of September.
With Love For He First Loved Us,
Adam & Melissa Hoffman
