Greetings from Virginia! We praise the Lord that we are here. Our team arrived in Virginia on Saturday evening, January 26. After dinner with some of the full-timers and local sisters, we were able to meet our hospitality. On Lord’s Day, we joined the saints in Fairfax, VA for the meeting in the morning, followed by lunch with the saints and sightseeing in D.C. We were given a detailed tour of the Georgetown University campus by two students and then had a sweet time with the saints and dinner at a couple’s house nearby. The saints are really burdened for this campus, and although there is no team serving there, we heard their encouraging report from the first student meeting with Georgetown students.

Today was our first day of BfA distribution. We began the day in coordination with the team of six saints, followed by a time of fellowship and preparation for the distribution. During this time, we got to hear the history of the churches and the history of the team in this region. We also began to share our testimonies with the full-timers and got to hear two of theirs.

We will be spending about half of our time on the campuses here and the other half in distributions among the community. We spent two hours at a Virginia Railway Express stop (train station) in Old Town Manassas, where we distributed 20 Bibles! It is very encouraging that some local saints came and joined us during this time. Overall, we had a positive response, especially from one student who attends NOVA (Northern Virginia Community College) in Manassas. We hope to see her this upcoming Thursday at BfA Connect on her campus.

Prayer Burdens:

• For the 20 Bible recipients to read their Bibles and develop an appetite for the Word
• That the Lord would cover the weather for our outdoor distributions this week (snow/ice predicted tomorrow and Wednesday)
• For the Lord to bless our going out on the NOVA campus tomorrow and to bring us many open and hungry students
