Bible Study

One of the key places of ministry where students can be transformed by God is at weekly bible studies. This year our topics and scripture for both large group-Nexus and bible studies have been the same. The hope is that as we dig deeper into scripture students will better be able to understand and therefore apply what they have been learning. It has been a joy seeing new students engage in scripture this semester. Many have said that they are truly finding joy in what it means to live out their Christian faith on campus.

Pray for me as I have been meeting with and inviting a couple new students to weekly bible study. They both grew up in the church but have not gotten plugged into a Christian community on campus. They also have a lot of questions regarding what it looks like to truly follow Jesus. Pray that Esmeralda and Ludecea will have a deeper understanding of God's word in their life and that they would be able to live out God's purpose for them in all that they do.

Vision Retreat

Part of spring semester is praying and choosing student leaders for the next year. One of the teams we have selected leaders for is a vision team for senior students. IVCF is a student ministry and we wanted to give students more places to lead the ministry. We gathered the new vision team for 2010-2011 for a weekend retreat to bond, pray, listen, and work on the vision for next school year. It was exciting to be around 6 senior students who are excited and passionate about what God is doing at Sonoma State. One student said, "I can't help but be so excited and jump around when I think about God being on campus!!!" Please pray for staff and students as we continue to wait on God for what next year will look like. Below are some of the faces of the future vision team.
