SEEK 2015: What Moves You?

This January in Nashville, TN  FOCUS is hosting the national conference SEEK. The team and I put together this video of student responses to the question "What Moves You?"  Enjoy! 

SO WHAT IS SEEK? 

"SEEK is a gathering of college students on a journey. It’s a place where we can come together to take on some of life’s BIGGER questions and, like guides along the way, learn from one another where wisdom and experience lead. Life is meant to be lived and in order to live it to the fullest, we need to heed the wisdom that calls us to ‘ask, seek and knock’ to discover who we are, where we’re going and what motivates us."

PLEASE PRAY FOR US:

Here in Omaha we are hoping to take 80 college students with us to Nashville.

 Please pray for all students at UNO, that they may have the courage to say yes to the invitation to SEEK. The one thing that I have heard from students who want to attend but are not registered yet is that they cannot afford to do so.  The 5-day conference fee is $399 and transportation another $150.  Please pray for these students who cannot afford the cost, that scholarships will be made available through the generosity of others.

I also would request that you pray for all of the students here who normally work over the holidays. That any students who want to go, might have understanding employers who will give them the time off of work. 

The team and I spent the afternoon on campus asking students the question, "What Moves You?" and received a variety of answers.

A variety of answers were given. 

I would like to pose the question to you now. What moves you? What motivates you? What is it that gets you out of bed each day?

It was a great opportunity to speak with students,
and get them to really think about their response.

We had one student who took the question so seriously that he took the card with him to think about his response over lunch. He brought it back about an hour later and posted it on the board.

We had around 200 students respond. Here  is what the board looked like:
