Highlights.
- NICA* HAS BEEN SAVED!!! She asked Jesus to be her Lord and Savior last Tuesday. She said after she prayed that she felt God's hand on her shoulder and told her- go ahead and pray. It is okay. Interesting words but it was what she need to hear and feel. More details in Story 1 below.
- I have finished making my own personal evangelistic tract. If you like the format and would like to add your own personal information to it, let me know and I will send you my editable file. Or, I can do it for you, if you like.
- My order for 28 International Student outreach Bibles has arrived. They only cost me $28 for the shipping. A Bible Society donates them to ISI :)
- I have been logging my 'Go Deeper' verses from this years BSF study of Romans. I put them here if you want to quickly scroll over the verses and read them: <<LINK>>
- Megan* and Jared* keep coming to church and now prefer their American church, Jesus Culture :)
- 8 more students signed up to be on our contact list at our last Club Day table.
Lowlights.
- I was telling all the students at Talk Time that God made man and woman in His image, male and female. That He was a Spirit and not really a male or female but had all the same attributes. Well, it sort of backfired. I said that "He" made man and woman... One of the young women from Israel did not like this. This was a huge button for her and she went on a long rant how women are exactly the same as men in every way and referring to God as a "He" is insulting to women. *whew* I just laid low and tried to just keep things from getting too heated.
- A few of our students are now Campus Ambassadors and are also in other clubs. They are engineering majors. They are getting so busy that it is hard for them to make Talk Time.
Story 1 - Nica*
Nica* went through just a terrible experience a few years ago. It had really scarred her. That is one reason I was anxious for her to get saved because I knew the Lord would instantly begin the healing that she needed. Well, it turned out just I had hoped. My wife has a good friend who is a Christian counselor. She told Nica* to go see her and she could help with her pain and depression. To our pleasant surprise, at her first visit she prayed to receive Christ. She came to visit her mom next to Jane's salon and then came by to see Jane. She told Jane- I prayed to receive Christ! I felt God's hand on my shoulder! I heard Him talk to me! I am now a Muslim Christian. I think it is okay for her to refer to herself this way for a while. I think it will be less threatening for her family to hear. Still, pray for her that she will be able to express her relationship with the Lord clearly as she begins her walk with Him.
Prayer Requests
- Continue to pray for Megan*, her husband Jared* and their teenage son Shawn*. They just seem so close now to praying to receive Christ. I think it would be wonderful if the whole family accepts Christ at the same time :) <<Ongoing. So many prayers for them have been answered already! It looks like the church they now will be going to Jesus Culture. Perhaps that will be the final piece that brings them to the Lord>>
- God would prepare the hearts of the new students that will come to us in the Fall! <<Ongoing>>
- For Ana* and Zoey*. Like Megan* that God would start drawing them to Himself and making them aware of their need for Him. They are both great friends with Megan*. That perhaps Megan's* seeking will inspire them to seek also. Zoey* is also Muslim. <<Ongoing. Ana*has returned :)>>
- That we can find ways to accommodate each students busy schedule. They want to be at Talk Time and come to our events but they take their classes extremely serious. <<Ongoing>>
- I am still unsure if I should restart Talk Time at RCC. <<I emailed all the students there and the response wasn't as enthusiastic as I had hoped>>
Admonition
Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance? - Romans 2:4
