Yesterday morning was the end of the Midwest College Conference. The final message was on the direction of the Lord’s move— preparing the bride. Students were impressed that the Lord needs them, as young people, to cooperate with Him, that morning by morning each one would spend time with the Lord to be prepared as His bride. We were all so encouraged this weekend with what the students, especially the new ones, saw regarding God’s need for age turners and how they can respond to this need.

This week is the start of our labor in Champaign, IL and Normal, IL. About half of the team are at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), preaching the gospel to the college students there. The Christians on Campus students are also preparing for an unbeliever’s gospel event this Wednesday and will be inviting their friends to this. They will be using the Mystery of Human Life in small groups and share their experience on being a Christian.

The other half of the team will be in Normal, IL, laboring on the Illinois State University campus. Today we met quite a few male students who are open for further contact. Two tables were set for contacting people and passing Bibles on campus; 18 people left their contact information.

Praise You Lord for Your working on these two campuses!

Prayer burdens:

• Please pray for the sowing of gospel seeds to the unbelieving ISU/UIUC students.
• Please pray for the contact of those that the Lord has prepared for dorm Bible reading.
• Please pray for gaining students, especially student brothers.
