Hey Everyone!
Things here in Statesboro are flying by! We already well into October and there is much to be excited about in regards to the work God is doing here. The Fall Retreat I asked you to pray for was a huge success. (*See the picture below*). Over that weekend, 6 GSU students professed faith in Christ and we got clarity on where many other students stood. It was a great weekend full of energy and momentum. We have been able to harness some of that momentum by talking with the students who came to the Retreat about starting up Bible studies. There has been lots of interest and positive feedback. For example, we announced to our flag football team this week (many of them were at the retreat) that we would be starting a study and were wondering who was interested. 26 men said they would want to come to a bible study. And that is just one of the many Bible studies starting up next week! Please be in prayer for these studies!
Also, we are having another tailgate this coming Saturday. We are playing Furman and it is perhaps one of the biggest games of the year. The last tailgate was a huge hit. It was one of the first events we did where we connected deeply to many of the people who came on Fall Retreat. We are trusting God to use this tailgate in an even greater way: to build deep relationships, be a venue to talk about Christ, and to help us recruit to future events (like the National Christmas Conference). This is going to be the biggest Christmas conference we've had in 10 years. Some stats: 6000 college students, Chattanooga TN, speakers like John Piper. Check out the website if you are interested in seeing what will go down...http://conationalconference.com/
Be praying for these Bible studies, our upcoming tailgate, and the very important Christmas Conference at the end of the year! I've attached a prayer calendar we are using for the month of October with our students on the campus. Join us in praying for God to move mightily here at GSU!
Your life and prayers matter! Thanks for making much of Christ with Corrie and me!
