We are writing from Brownsville, Texas, where it has been a very busy but enjoyable couple of days. To give a short background of Brownsville, there is a church in Brownsville with around 45 active saints. The two main campuses here are the University of Texas in Rio Grande Valley-Brownsville and Texas Southmost College. The Christians at RGV club currently has around five active students, one part-time serving one, and one full-time serving one.

We hit the ground running on Day 1 of the campus work with a real desperation to gain the seeking ones that would become remaining fruit. Here is a rough schedule for the trainees during the first 2 days:

7:30-8:30— Pass out flyers for the Bible Study 9:15-10:30— Coordination 10:30-12:00— Tabling and passing out more flyers for the Bible Study 12:00-2:00— Half of us at the Bible Study and the other half still tabling and handing out flyers 2:00-3:00— Coordination on campus to see how we can improve the Bible Study 3:00-4:45— More tabling and passing out flyers 5:00-8:00— Dinner with students, bring students to home meetings.

After 8:00 we went home and took care of miscellaneous tasks before going to bed, such as updating the database, organizing the flyers for the next day, and printing out papers for coordination.

We have had a great turnout at all of our events. Last semester, the Bible Study attendance averaged around six students, but on Monday we had 20 students attend and on Tuesday we had 44 students attend. We also had a cookout right in the middle of campus on Thursday, where around 50 students attended and many of the students were ones we previously met and returned to spend more time with us.

By the end of Day 4, we have had over 280 new contacts that have signed up at our tables, attended a Bible Study, and/or attended the cookout. There have also been 15 salvations! Many students have also gone to a home meeting, had appointments with us, or have begun to read the book of John with us. The students on this campus are very open and eager to meet with us and there are not many Christian organizations on this campus, so those who are hungry and seeking are very happy to have come in contact with us.

We have been informed that there has been much prayer from all over the country. Thank you all for sending us the divine supply :)

Prayer Burdens:

• The trainees are a little tired after having 12+ hour work days and need the continued prayers of the saints to supply and strengthen us!
• The students would remain open to us and we would be able to have more contact with them
• The saints in Brownsville to be strengthened to receive these new ones into their homes
