Hi Everyone! First of all I wanted to let you know that the January interview weekend went great. With the help of the Maximillian Kolbe Team and the lovely Maria we had a good weekend with the 5 who came to interview. To make a long story short...
We have already invited 6 people to come for training next year!!! And it's only the first week of February! As of now our next interview weekend is scheduled for March 30-April 1st. So if you are considering Reach or know someone who should be... now's the time to apply!
Second of all...Have you seen the ALUMNI PAGE of our website yet? If not as soon as you are done reading this highly entertaining and informational blog...take a look! Even if you were never on a Reach team you probably know some one who was.
One of the first things I did was look back at the 1987-1988 team because those were the people that came to my hometown (Great Falls, MT) and shared Christ with me in a way that changed my life forever. The way that team talked about Christ like He was a real part of their lives and not a distant diety in the clouds had a tremendous impact on me. And my small group leader...I think her name was Nicole...is someone I will never forget. Truthfully I don't remember much of what she actually said or did, but I know she a major reason why my head knowledge of God's love for me became heart knowledge...and I haven't seriously doubted that love since. There was also Ken who made me laugh and Dan who was the first person I had ever seen kneel in front of a tabernacle and worship and Mark who was probably the first person to tell me that God loved me in a way that made me want to believe it.
I am grateful for those people and all that given so much to be on the Reach Team. In the grand scheme of things there are not that many of us...but I know the impact these people have had on youth, youth ministers, priests, host families and different communities all over the country. You are all often in my prayers.

Interviews Rocked L-Train! Pleasure to be of service to you. Peace from Colstrip...
P.S. You should check out my myspace blog sometime, I think I blog more than Amanda :)
Hey Laura, that was a clever trick, the title of the blog. I had no choice to read it when you put it that way. More congrats on the weekend and to the apparently well qualified interviewees (spelling ?). I'm looking forward to meeting them. Let me know if you guys ever need a hand with one of those weekends? Sounds fun. Keep up the good work. Do you have any idea what happened to those folks from the team that you met way back when?
