Normal and Peoria, IL—Gospel Trip, Days 1-2
We arrived yesterday evening at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) for the college meeting. The college students at UIUC had a fellowship time with Brother Jim Miller concerning the matter of getting into the ministry; it was encouraging and helpful. This morning, the saints from Peoria, Normal, and Champaign gathered for a combined Lord’s Table meeting. It was a glorious time blending with all the saints.
For this week, the trainees are split into two sub-teams, one group to Normal and another in Champaign. The trainees in Normal will be laboring and setting up BfA tables at Illinois State University while the trainees in Champaign will be doing the same at UIUC. Then the following week, all the trainees will travel to Peoria to labor on the community and campus there.
Prayer Burdens:
- The BfA table this week at UIUC and ISU. We are not after a long list of names. We look to the Lord for remaining fruit.
- The on-campus Bible study, for college students, and the Book Reading club, for people in the community, this Thursday night
- The seeking ones in the community and on campus would be solidly connected to the local saints
- The Lord would gain His building, His kingdom would come, and that all the local saints and trainees would be one even as He is one!
