St. Louis Day One!
The first day of our long weekend in St. Louis was great! In the morning, we had a chance to meet the team we’ll be working with! There are about 20 people on our team, and our scope is the over 50 campuses in the St. Louis area. Our team will be working on bigger university campuses in St. Louis, but we’ll also be working on the dozens of smaller community college campuses in the metro area. As a team, we spent time in the word and in prayer together, planned for the fall, and got to know one another better! It has definitely gotten us excited to report to St. Louis as soon as possible!
However, even more exciting for us was yesterday evening. Last night, we gathered with 13 students from three of the campuses that JB and I will be working on!
These are some of the student leaders currently involved in Campus Crusade movements on their campuses. These students are sharing their faith, leading Bible studies on campus, and making an impact for Jesus. We were so encouraged by the faithfulness of these students--that they would give up their Friday evening to gather and pray for the lost students on their campuses! These students are passionate about making Christ known among their friends, in their classrooms, and on their dorm floors. Together, we prayed and worshiped God for three hours, looking at the Word together, asking God to open doors for ministry, and asking God to break our hearts for lost students.
Pray for these students--we will be working closely with them in the fall, and entrusting them with responsibility and leadership to reach their campuses for Christ!
