Pray for Students!

Friends,

A quick post between classes: DM is having a conference for students coming up this weekend. Many students who are not Christians will get to hear the Gospel very clearly articulated and others will be hearing it to encourage them on to know the Lord more.

Please be praying that God would work in everyone's hearts, especially the students who are coming to learn more about Christianity. Also be praying that students wouldn't just get "Christian Camp/Conference High", but that God would bring them to good local churches back home and that they also get involved on campus with other student believers.

May God do great things for His glory!

God Does the Work

Friends,

I realize that I've been on a bit of a blogging hiatus for the past few weeks here. It's been a bit busy, but God's been doing cool things.

I wanted to let you all know about and ask for prayer for is one guy that lives on our floor. Out of the blue one day, he came up to Justin and I in the commons and asked if we were still doing a Bible study in our room and if he could join. We said we'd be glad to have him and he showed up this Thursday with a friend!

So God has now brought a guy to our study who approached US about the study and he brought a friend even! Man God is doing crazy things.

It gets even more amazing when he said that he'd wanted to learn about the Bible for quite a while, but didn't want to study it on his own because he wouldn't have help. So apparently God's been working on him for sometime.

What's more amazing is that when we asked him about going to a DM student conference in a few weeks to do a track about the basics and big questions about Christianity with me he said he'd love to do it!

So God's doing something crazy and please be praying for this student and his friend, that God would continue to be working on his heart to show him his need and how great Jesus is. Also be praying that they'd be desirous to go to this conference with us, where they can be exposed to other godly men and women, get to be our friends more and hear the Gospel clearly articulated in love.

Thank you for your prayers and to God alone be the glory!
