1/27/15: Our morning coordination started off in the third heavens. We were beside ourselves enjoying that SSWOOF (Satan, sin, world, old creation, old man, flesh) has been crucified through Christ’s all-inclusive death! Our time with the young people and college students in Dunn Loring was sweet. Each of us simply shared our experiences of getting to the FTTA and our various experiences of life, truth, character, and service while in the FTTA. Our burden is that, through the sharing, seeds of the FTTA would be planted at this young age.

1/28/15: The Lord is freshly moving in Virginia! We went to George Mason University (8 of us and 2 local saints) and Northern Virginia Community College (4 of us and 3 student sisters) to distribute Bibles. At GMU, so many students came up to our table to talk to us. In total, we passed out 155 Bibles and 65 gave us contact information. Our sense was that the students are open for further fellowship in the Word.

1/29/15: We arrived in Richmond and had lunch with some of the local saints and students from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). Then, we went on campus with two of the students to distribute Bibles. The Lord was faithful to bring us some very seeking ones, though we did not meet as many open and interested ones. These seeking ones also ended up coming to our college meeting on campus. The college meeting was very living and mutual. The new ones entered right into using lines from the hymns to praise and pray back to the Lord. Singing was interspersed with sharing, not only from trainees, but also local saints and new ones. Praise the Lord for this time of mutual encouragement!

1/30/15: We had a refreshing and encouraging 24 hrs in Richmond, and today we went back to Virginia Beach. The home meeting was full of “Hallelujahs!” We enjoyed that the Father foreordained us, His glory to know. For us to be the many sons even as the Firstborn Son is, the Triune God is dispensing, and we are enjoying!

Prayer burdens:

• The Lord would water the seeds to cause the growth. Then, at the time of life, these seeds would sprout for them to go to the training. Our heart is that the students would have a positive impression of the training, and that they would each have a little opening to the Lord tonight.
• The team and the local saints would be co-laboring with the Lord so the Triune God can reach all of these open and ready ones.
• There are a few that are ripe and ready to be shepherded into the church life. We need the Lord to make clear which ones are the ripest ones to contact, release the connections with the saints, and release the long-term shepherding to bring these ones all the way in.
• The harvest is white in the Virginia, Maryland, DC region, but there is a need for some full-timers to reap and labor on all these campuses (GMU, NoVa, University of Virginia, University of Maryland, Georgetown, Virginia Commonwealth University, Virginia Tech, Old Dominion University). Please pray that some saints, including upcoming FTTA grads from the Mid-Atlantic region would be burdened to serve in this region.
• That the open and seeking ones would be connected to the Christians on Campus club at VCU.
• The students would be encouraged to have much personal time with the Lord that would issue in their giving their college years for the Lord.
• Our Bible distribution at ODU tomorrow (Saturday 1/31). Will be inviting ones to a Bible study/meeting that evening.
• The health of the team so we can fully participate in the gospel trip.
