What is true love? How would you define love? What does love look like? What kind of things do you love? Is love eternal?
Some of these questions may be easy for you to answer, some may be hard, and others may take some time to think of the perfect answer. On Thursday Oct.8 we set out to ask
I met Andrea within the first 10 minutes I was out there. She was quick to want to answer our question and took some time to think about it. As we sat there together while she wrote on her heart I began talking about how I would define love. Jesus is love and Jesus is an example of someone who can love eternally. She had grown up Catholic but was interested in talking more about Jesus’ character and how he loved others. Please pray for Andrea as we try to meet to talk more about how Jesus can impact her life now.
During the evening some of these questions were answered by Kevin Finkbiner, associate pastor at a local church and IVCF staff alum. Students heard about Jesus’ love and how Jesus loves each student in the room. It was amazing to see so many new students engaging with Jesus! Including a student I met that evening, Esteban who now wants to start going to a bible study.
Please praise God with us for what happened during the day:
•Over 30 people prayed from 9am-9pm
•We talked to over 160 people about true love
•We gave out 400 flyers for the evening event
•Over 200 students attended Thurs. night
•5 people raised their hand and another 5 responded on card saying they were making a first time commitment to follow Jesus
•All 10 people are already being followed up with by our student follow-up team
Please be praying for:
•Continual follow up with the students that said yes to Jesus for the first time
•For our student leaders to keep taking risks
•That bible studies would continue to reach out to their dorm community
•That I would be able to keep connecting with Andrea and Esteban
