Branson: here I am


Hello wonderful friends and family!

In case you haven't heard, I am now living in Branson, MO. I am attending the Kanakuk Institute [http://www.kanakukinstitute.com/] where I will be working towards a Masters in Ministry, emphasis in Counseling. 

The program is designed to focus on discipleship and preparing young leaders to take a confident stand for Biblical truths. That sounds all technical and stuff but what it breaks down to is:
- 70 students
- 6 hours of class a day
- over 15 books read
- dozens of verses memorized
- a ministry internship
- a work/study job
- a massive oral thesis on what we believe and why
- and a community of faith and friendship 

This will be the beginning of many posts chronicling my adventures as a Bransonite. I will try to keep it short and sweet [for me, that may be quite a challenge]. I also will try and post pictures and do current prayer requests. 

For those of you who've asked ... here is my mailing address:
833 Lakeshore Drive
Branson, MO 65616


Prayer Requests:
- Community and friendships here as we all get to know each other
- Authenticity and transparency - that we won't try to be the better, more "godly" Christian
- Finances - that God will meet the needs of my tuition costs and that I will submit all spending to Him
- My internship as a K-Life worker [youth group like ministry] 



I look forward to sharing my heart with each of you and hearing of yours. 
Love Always,
Brittan 

This is my campus [for those familiar with Kanakuk camps, this is K-Kauai Family Camp]
