Last year, Dr. John Goetsch realized that hardly any college students, even if they’ve grown up in church, have ever gone through a personal discipleship course. Usually the only people that get personal attention like that are the ones who’ve really messed up and “need” the extra help, but discipleship is something that every Christian needs. So, he offered a discipleship program to anyone who wanted to come… at 11:00 PM and something like 5:00 AM! He was expecting only a few people to show up, but over 400 students came.

This semester, those students who completed te course, which he called Flight School, have been paired up with freshmen and will be taking us personally through the course. The upperclassmen are called the Eagles, and those of us taking the course are the Eaglets… it’s actually kind of enjoyable . My Eagle is in my dorm and I got to meet him last week when he gave me the material; the course is pretty simple, but it’s just encouraging, helpful stuff, andI’m looking forward to spending time studying the Bible with someone else.

One more great thing about West Coast!
