fresh.

January 14, 2010

hey guys! i hope the new year has met you well! we have a lot of awesome things coming up in the next few months! god has really been pressing on my heart the desire to be great. but not great on my own terms… acts 5 tells us that there were 2 men who society deemed to be great. they built these large followings and then the leaders were killed, and their followings quickly scattered. its my heart to lead people but in the same regard to create in them the desire to be great so that if ever im gone or leave them, the gathering will grow and flourish, and not die. so god i ask that you create inside of me to be a man of this magnitude. grant me the wisdom and favor to build a following on the power of your holy spirit and not on my own desires and efforts. you always sustain and never run dry, let us always yearn to drink from you.

the response.

sorry its been a while since my last update, things have been kinda crazy around here.. as i’m sitting here in my office studying to teach tonight i am overwhelmed by the many times in my life that i chose not to respond. it saddens me to know that on more than one occasion i have chosen to be lame or immobile in situations that god has distinctly called me to. im reminded of the calling of the early disciples.. man they left immediately.. they left their lives without hesitation. they RESPONDED. it’s my prayer that i will become a person who responds without hesitation!.. i have felt a call that is greater than i am… and i WILL respond.

Much Love,
Eddie

Just writing to give you guys a quick update from Caswell 09! God has done some really awesome things here. We saw a powerful move of god last night that brought a ton of student asking god to restore their purity. Students are being put back together a. Truly falling in love with their savior… Cant wait to see what’s next…

To be continued.....

preparing

June 1, 2009

well life has began to slow down around here for a little while at least.  my wife and i have been on three road trips in the past three weeks and its definitely time for a break. I’m off this week and then its off to Caswell, NC my my first week of camp. gods time frame never ceases to amaze me. for a while now i have been cutting way back on my traveling schedule. although i have missed it, i was okay with it because god was doing some awesome things in our church. but you see he has shifted some things around and it will allow me to travel a couple of weekends a month. which is very exciting to me! it just goes to show me that god meant what he said when he said, “ put my kingdom first, and THEN i’ll give you the desires of your heart.

cant wait to hear from you guys!

back to normal?

April 6, 2009

well life has settled down quite a bit for me now! as most of you know i got married on the 14th of march and the couple of months leading up to that were a bit crazy around here. we have settled in and gotten back in the groove of things and it is very relaxing! for now anyways.

ministry looks a lot different for me these days. i have been staff at our church for about a year now and god has really done amazing things in our student ministry over the past year and to answer most of the questions i have been getting… yes im still traveling as well! i have taken some time off from the road the past few months and i have a much lighter schedule this summer only because i have been getting settled in here at the church and i want to enjoy my new family this summer! but in the fall i will be booking like crazy again, if the lord says to, and hopefully i will see you guys real soon!

if you need anything don’t hesitate to call!
much love,
eddie

run forrest...run

October 15, 2008

Sorry it has been so long since my last update but life has been pretty hectic. Just a quick run-down on what’s been going on:  renovations of the student center are almost finished, I have had a couple speaking engagements and conferences, I got ENGAGED…. That’s probably my favorite thing right now. Yes you heard it right Eddie Briery is engaged. My lovely fiancé is absolutely beautiful and I can’t wait for you all to meet her. Our wedding will be March 14, 2009, so keep u sin your prayers. God has been doing a lot of awesome things in my personal life. Preconceived notions, and former concepts that I always thought were right have presented a lot of growth in my personal journey. It has been hard at time but I am forever grateful for the thing I have learned and that I am learning.

“Lord I submit. If you need to break me down even further than this I will be broken because in all reality Lord, you’re the only one who can complete the brokenness with true perfection.”

yes, im still alive.

i must admit, it has been quite some time since my last update… but things now days are a lot different than they have been in the past. while i was traveling form place to place and living in friends living rooms and the random place that i have rested my head on, i could pretty much update and any joint with free internet. but i have a bit of free time so here is your update.

i had an amazing summer. i spoke to close to 10,000 students and saw hundreds of students give their lives to christ. it was amazing. since returning back home, it has been crazy at the church with renovations of the student building and everything that is involved with getting a student ministry going after a long absence.  things are going well though.

well my break is over, i took august off from traveling but we are back in full swing with 3 events in September and 3 in October. So if you need anything let me know..

hope all is well,

ed

getting closer.

i must be honest, my brain has been nothing short of frazzled the past few weeks. trying to build a productive student ministry, preparing for 9 weeks of speaking and everything in between has taken on a tole on me to say the least. my first week of camp was supposed to begin this past monday but due to certain circumstances it was canceled. so here i am ready to be doing camps and with yet another week to wait… God has a plan. so as i draw near to my 2nd “first” week of the summer i ask that you pray for me as i balance my own personal ministry as well as the student ministry God has put me in charge of....

2 tim. 3:17 he will equip me unto all good things.

be true.
