Kitchener, Ontario—Gospel Trip, Report 6
Today, we had a Bibles for Canada table on the University of Waterloo campus. The team was on this particular campus two times before without a table, each visit resulting in 23 Bibles distributed. Today was the first time we had a table and we ended the day having distributed 91 Bibles and about 150 tracts. Although it was midterms season, many students were willing to take the time to talk to us. A majority of the recipients were shared at least one verse with footnotes to show them how to use this free study Bible. A verse that was often shared was Phil. 4:6-7, on anxiety, peace, and how we can pray even while studying for midterms.
There was one appointment at the University of Guelph where two sisters met with a student there. The time was spent getting to know one another humanly and connecting her with a local sister. At the University of Waterloo there was one appointment where a newly saved contact was introduced to a local brother who also works on campus, which was followed by a mini Bible study.
Later on, we joined the Christians on Campus Bible study where we went over Gal. 5:1-6, followed by pizza and fellowship. Although there were many new faces, there were many good questions and mutual discussion about being freed in Christ.
There was a misconception that this campus was hard to breakthrough in. However, we were wonderfully corrected because of how open and seeking many of the students were. Jesus is Lord on this campus!
Prayer burdens:
- Pray that the current students would be richly supplied and vitally built up
- Pray for further connection of the contacts to the local saints and existing students
