the beginning

Well, here we are, our first venture into the blogging world. It is hard to know exactly how to start this thing off . . . “they” do say that first impressions are everything . . .

So I guess I’ll start with who we are. . .

We are iforty – a college/young adult ministry here in Amarillo, TX. Our name is derived from Isaiah 40:28-31 . . .

Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they walk and not be faint.

We are a ministry focused on showing college-age and young adults the hope that can only be found in Jesus Christ. We live in a stressful, fast paced world and it is often hard to find authentic, hope- filled community. iforty’s mission is to create an environment where young adults can experience God’s hope through praise and worship, Bible study, and authentic community.

We hope, through this blog, to have an avenue to share our journey with the masses – through stories, thoughts, the occasional profound revelation, anecdotes, and perhaps a little random silliness thrown in for good measure. We hope you will be a part of our journey . . .
