Praise the God of resurrection, who not only does great things for us, but also imparts Himself into us. Wednesday, we distributed 37 Bible-study invitations and had three appointments with students, as well as one-on-one shepherding appointments with our full-timer. Thank you Lord for the fellowship in the Body. Then we gathered for ribs and nonstop hymning with saints who love to sing at the Aviles’ household.

Thursday was our last day on campus and the last day the Peevy’s from ABQ would join us in our labor. After we bid some farewells, we had two appointments on campus with students and more shepherding appointments with our full-timer. Thursday evening was our second Bible study of the semester; six new ones attended, five of which were returning ones from last week. Thank you Lord they came back!

The Bible study was a definite highlight. We went over Romans 1:18-21, how God is truth and the invisible things of Him are made manifest in creation. It was a time of wonder, and many good conversations were released. In addition, divine connections were formed between new students and ours. At one table, there were two new contacts who were at very different places in their human life and Christian life, but the Lord was able to meet all the needs of everyone there. It was wonderful!

Prayer burdens:

  • CONTINUATION: At this point, we have a small handful of consistent contacts. Please pray for the Lord to cause the growth in life in our current students and the local saints, so that there would be a continued care in feeding and nourishing for the new contacts. Plainly speaking, we only have two student Chinese-speaking sisters at the U, and there is a concern that the language and cultural barrier would hinder this continued care for our contacts. Pray the Lord would have a way to overcome this.
  • HOME MEETING: Pray that B, J, T, and M would make it to the home meeting tomorrow night and become connected to a home.
