From Oct.4-7 during the evenings, we had all the bible studies come together and play games, eat food, and meet new students in the dorm communities. On Thursday Oct.8 we were putting on a big outreach and spent that week meeting and inviting new students to come out. I was able to attend the outreach happening on Wednesday night that we held in the upper classroom dorm community. Over 30 students came out including some new faces- Amanda, TK, Jeff, Jake, Matt, and Ken.
Amanda saw a bunch of people out in the quad and came to find out what was going on. She walked right up and started fitting in. She was talking, playing games, laughing, and getting to know other students in the area. This was not something she had anticipated on that evening but was so glad she came over to see what was going on. At the end of the night, she gave her phone number to the bible study leader and wanted to get involved with everything they were doing! Praise God that Amanda was able to connect with some Christians in her community.
As we were setting up for the outreach there were 5 guys playing football in the quad we were in. After some time one of the IVCF leaders went out to invite them over to hang out with us. When they finished playing football they did come over to drink some root beer (we played root beer pong) and eat cookies. During that time we got into some great spiritual conversations with all of them. Matt even asked us, “Is it hard being a Christian in this area?”
The conversations continued on for awhile and at the end of the night they had planned on coming to our outreach talk the following night on Thursday. Although they did not come to the outreach on Thursday they did tell us that they play football every night out there. We are planning to go out again to play football and get a chance to talk more. Please pray that we would continue to have good spiritual conversations with TK, Jeff, Jake, Matt, and Ken.
