The Sunni Horizon

Spring break is coming fast and OH HOW PUMPED I AM ABOUT IT!!!! I will be going on a cruise to the Bahamas and I can’t wait. This will be my first time ever being on a cruise. My family goes frequently on different cruise lines but I am always busy when they’ve gone. Now is my turn to experience this fun that I always here about. I get a chance to lay in the warm sun and relax. This trip is much needed and I plan to have tons of fun. This is what I plan to do for spring break, what about you? Is Mexico still a hot spot to be at for spring break?….

Servant Hood Opportunities Worldwide (S.H.O.W.) is a campus organization where great serving opportunities across the world are offered to students on campus, and on June 6th, 2009 I will be going on a mission trip to South Africa. I am really excited about going on this trip! I was given the opportunity to go on a mission trip to Thailand in June of 2008. Before leaving on this trip to Thailand, I was expecting to have a nice time talking with locals and experiencing a new culture. The moment I got on the plane, my heart was racing with excitement and I couldn’t stop thinking about this hot place that I’ve never been before and witnessing to people that I have never seen before. The plane landed and it was official: I had arrived in Thailand to unknowingly experience the unfathomable.

I was under the impression that all the people in the world has at least heard of the name Jesus once in their life. While I was there, I saw over 17,000 Thai people come to Christ for the first time. I even saw 400-500 instant miracles. People who were blind received their sight; people who couldn’t walk began to walk. That was something that I read about in the bible but have never seen before. To see the love of Christ overcome the people of Thailand left me in awe of God’s greatness. I can never be the same again after leaving Thailand a changed person.

This trip to South Africa will be a different endeavor for me with a different group of people to witness to. I had many supporters help spiritually and financially on my last mission trip, and I ask this also on this trip. I know that God wants to give an opportunity for everyone to receive his love. Many people don’t have the opportunity to go to South Africa because of school and work, so this gives an opportunity for these people to minister to a place of the unreached gospel by joining together with me in support of a mission to spread the love of Christ all around the world. That being said, I ask that you keep me in your prayers that everything goes well, and if you would like to be help in any way on this mission trip, feel free to leave a comment or email me directly. I plan to post pictures and/or movies of this event so that you may get a glimpse of this experience.

Have you been on a mission trip before? If so, I would like to hear about the experience that you had.

I have a video attached of my trip as well as some of my friends’ experiences on their mission trip.

“If you fail to plan, then plan to fail.”

This is a famous quote that not only applies to us individually but can also be applied to us as a University. Some may know, but the university has many projects in progress and has completed some such as Savage Arena, the Memorial Field House and Rocket Hall. I encourage everyone who is involved in the process of making informed decisions on new projects and renovations on campus to realize that economy has put the university in a great position to think of more innovations with cost effectiveness in mind. You have and are doing a great job in renovation throughout the campus. I had a chance to speak with some students who have their own views of the things that they like about the university as well as the things that they think that we can improve or make better. I feel that the best way to find what is working well for the students as well as what needs to be changed is to hear from the students themselves.

What’s your opinion of the campus improvements, and what do you think would be some great additions to the university? Have you ever been to another university and thought, “this would be great if we had that at the University of Toledo”? Let me know!

What a great day today w/ great weather. Even though I didn’t get a chance to be outside much because I was sick in my room, for the short period of time that I was outside it was great. I think I got a cold because of the frequent changes in the climate. I do feel a ton better now after resting and and taking a little medicine. So tell, do you have any plans to make these next few days of good weather memorable.

An Epic event is something that we have become apart of and we have been the ones who have been chosen to to witness and be a part of history. On January 20, 2009 is the date in which millions of people all around celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. birthday and the dream that he had for mankind. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, had a dream of a body of people coming together based on the content of the character and not the color of their skin. He had a dream that their would be a day that the barriers of discrimination and different prejudices would be eliminated. Through history we have overcome small obstacles and have seen the progression of this dream. January 21st was a date that shall go down in history that the day after the celebration of someone that fought for desegregation is now a date that will inaugurate the first African American into office. Even though people may not agree with the policies and views that he has, this event has still shown us the progress of mankind. I invite you to express how ya feel this has impact your life.

I am extremely tired and sleep right now from a great night. I went to marion ohio with some friends to a church and I had a amazing time. I am now giving tours to freshman who will be moving in for the new year and they are so excited about it. It’s really cool to see the excitment on their faces about coming to this university. I enjoy telling them how great the international house it, and how i believe that this is the best residence hall to live in. Along with the weekend excitment, we have been graced with great weather. I am even going to epic tomorrow, sunday in maumee ohio.
