New Student says YES!


We are almost half way through the semester already and I am excited to update you on the exciting transformation we have witnessed in students lives so far. At our second large group this semester, my Staff Partner,  James Alderson, gave a an invitation to follow Jesus at the end of his talk, and one student said yes to giving her life to Jesus!
Malissa, is extremely excited about her new life with God. Ever since that night, she has been faithful to come to bible discussion and stay connected with friends she is making in the fellowship. She was invited to come by one of our core student Melana, who is a teammate in the athletics department.
We are so excited to see Malissa take her faith in Jesus so seriously. She is challenged by God’s word each week, and is quick to take the applications from scripture to heart. She has been a wonderful encouragement to all of us as we see God moving powerfully in her life.

We have a whole new group of students this semester, but God is bringing students her are willing to see this place as a ministry. I just met a new student yesterday who started sharing her story with me.
 She said she always wanted to be a missionary and knew God was calling her to that.  She was even trying to decide if she should even come to school. But then she heard God saying to her that she could be a missionary to this campus to tell people about Jesus!

Upcoming Events
We are having our monthly outreach next week! Pray as we engage the campus in conversation about God.  Since we have a new group of students in our fellowship, most of them have not participated in an outreach on campus! It will be the first time for a lot of them. Pray that they would have courage and receive God joy, while taking risks on campus.
Our annual Fall Conference Journey is October  26th-28th. Please pray for students as they go to learn more about following Jesus on a college campus.
