From MI

Hey guys,

I'll continue as Ben reminded us with a post on how God has been working in my life. I had the privilege of seeing some of you at GYC this year which was a real blessing. A lot has happened, I can't believe it was just over two years since '08.

I've been going to school back here in Michigan for most of the time, now on my last semester in business. After the summer of '09 when I came back from doing a little work with Scott in Florida, me and three others started a campus ministry at Oakland University where I go. We started a little slow, but had a few students coming out to our studies, one of which is now part of our group.

DBF - has gone through some changes since ARISE moved to California. Many members either moved or have not come to church in a while. But a core remnant is still there. A couple newcomers from other churches also joined. Eddie Petreaca pastors both our church and Troy. We no longer meet at Freedom Assembly but another church we were blessed with in Sterling Heights. An evangelistic meeting will be held in the fall, which we haven't had since ARISE believe it or not.

A major blessing this last year was seeing my friend Dan I grew up with (some of you met him) get baptized. Thats after about two years of studying and praying for him. Its amazing to see a friend like that now ministering to others and getting involved in the church.

Even more than looking back, I'm excited about whats ahead. I'll be done with school soon and plan on being more involved with ministry. Pray for God's guidance in my life. Also right now I'm taking on 6 classes to finish while helping lead our campus ministry. But the promise of seeking God first and the rest being taken care of I already see being realized.

Love all of you and hope to see you soon wherever that will be,


Dmitri
