Last week, 10 Students from SRJC participated in Chapter Camp with SFSU, USF, CAL, St. Mary's, and SJSU. It was a great time of fellowship and learning more about God through scripture study, seminars, large group talks, prayer, and worship.
The first day we studied Acts 9, when Paul was blinded on the way to Damascus. We were invited to see Jesus with new eyes. I am excited to say that at the end of the week the Holy Spirit did a work and many of our students were able to do just that.

I led a seminar "The Lord sayeth what?" on prayer and hearing God's voice. I was amazed to see about 50 plus students attend my seminar to learn more about connecting with God in prayer. It was a very joyful time to teach and train students on prayer and see them have positive experiences with prayer as they started implementing tools from the training.
Here is a student testimonies from the week.....
"I had an awesome time at chapter camp! There were many opportunities to grow in my own spiritual life, to challenge myself in taking risks, to learn more about God's character and justice as well as learn more about myself through quiet reflection and prayer. Through the seminars and talks with others I realized there is so much I still need to learn and grow in; and so much that I want to improve in myself. I also found new hope and optimism in where I'm going and how God is moving in my life.
It was great getting to know people from our group so much better and building stronger friendships while at the same time meeting new people from other campuses and sharing fun moments as well as good conversations. There was an atmosphere of genuine fellowship that encompassed the entire camp and I saw God working in the hearts of many students around me. I'm glad I had the opportunity to go to chapter camp and I look forward to seeing God work in all of us as we move forward from that experience."

God is doing a new thing in SRJC students as we enter in to summer!
Creative Disciples and the Arts
More than half of our students attending the creative disciples seminar. This new group of students is full of artistic talent from poetry, dance, music, drawing, painting, and spoken word. I am excited for what God will do in this area.
Athletes
Majority of students coming to Christ the past three years have been athletes. This year at chapter camp, a student athlete with great leadership potential expressed how he wants to reach athletes on campus! This has been a continual prayer for me, it's exciting to see that God is bringing more athlete leaders to the fellowship!
