CO @ GSU (9.23.11)


Hey Team! 

Here's another quick update on life and ministry at good 'ol GA Southern! Corrie and I are doing well and are enjoying our 2nd year of marriage and are learning a lot as we strive to invest quality time into relationships with students.  Those we are discipling and helping to mature spiritually are doing well.  They are all growing deeper with God and are taking steps of faith by sharing Christ with their classmates and intramural teammates.  And they are helping us meet lots of new freshmen in the dorms, too. We are beginning to see lots of spiritual interest pop up in certain friends so far.  This is very exciting for us.  Over 100 people have been coming to our weekly evangelistic meeting called Proximity.  Next week, I'm speaking about the subject of belief and trust in Jesus Christ.  Please pray that some would for the first time put their full trust in Jesus that night.

We are also recruiting to our annual Fall Retreat. We are praying for over 90 students from GSU to come.  It will be in Macon on Sept 30-Oct 2. This serves as a great opportunity for us to go deeper with friends who come and it helps jump start us into bible studies in the dorms when we get back.

Lastly, I want to introduce you to a few influential guys and girls we've been getting around.  They carry so much influence with the rest of the dorm that we believe if God could save them, then they could influence the others to investigate as well.  Two men you can pray for are Akil and Alan.  They both play flag football with me and are spiritually interested in Christ.  Pray for their salvation and that they would one day have a vision and passion to share Christ with the freshman who arrive after them.  And three girls that Corrie is getting to know (and playing flag football with) would be Tori and Jordan and Hannah. Pray for these girls to come to know Christ personally and that God would redirect their entire lives to be lived for Him and his glory!

Thank you so much for your prayers and support which are helping advance God's kingdom here!

Making much of Christ,

Mike and Corrie
