A lot has happened since we last wrote and we're eager to share it with you. The first week of classes started with "Move-in day" in which our students were able to help freshman move in at every dorm on campus. This led to a lot of relationships being formed quickly and naturally. Through those instant connections, we have been able to created many shared experiences (including game nights, working out, lunches, and many other things). One thing we are praising God for is that he has helped us to network relationally through the people we met and we've interacted with their groups of friends rather early on in the semester. We are excited because we really want to expose as many people as we can to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
This week we are continuing to connect to people and are even beginning to look for ways to identify with Christ and potentially share our testimonies with them. On Tuesday, we are hosting a campus wide volleyball tournament. Our hopes are that this event would act as a relational spark that would allow us to deeper with our new friends. If you could, please pray for continued favor and respect in these fledgling friendships. We want to get to cultivate these relationships so that we can know them and they can know us, and hear about our Savior Jesus.
Lastly, one of the most exhilarating aspects of our ministry in this very young semester has been our corporate times of prayer as a body of believers. We really believe that our prayer meetings on Sunday nights and creating a culture of dependence on God through prayer are the most vital aspects of our entire ministry. Pray that this conviction would permeate our ministry and we would pray expectantly for God to move on our campus.
Please join us in praying for the things in bold above. Thank you for your love and prayers. We could not do this work without your vital partnership and prayer!
Love,
Mike and Corrie
