Short Update

Hey everyone,

I write this message from a lounge at San Diego State University - the campus I will be doing outreach and sharing with this summer. Every Monday, a quarter of our group comes here to SDSU to share our faith with others and try to launch a movement here on campus. We lead Bible studies each week and try to get people involved. Today, I had the unbelievable opportunity of sharing my faith with a guy named Andrew who ended up making the decision to accept Jesus into his life as his Savior. It was incredible to see how he changed his attitude from apatheic and overall confused about the foundations of Christianity, to involved, asking questions, and truly desiring truth and answers. In part of our time of sharing, we ask if the person would be interested in going through a booklet which basically outlines the New Testament and gives 4 points(The 4 Spiritual Laws) that sum up the foundation of Christianity(that God loves us, that we are separated from God because of sin, that God sent Jesus to bridge the gap that sin caused, and that we must accept Jesus as our Savior in order to have eternal life and bridge that gap). Andrew was very receptive to all I had to say and appeared to understand everything. I left my contact information with him and hopefully he will follow up with questions and concerns as he begins to grow in his faith. It was truly incredible to see God work in his heart when he was sitting right in front of me and I really hope he will go somewhere with his faith.

Other than that, there isn't much to update since the last post. We are having a 24 Hour Prayer time in which people sign up and people will be praying from 6pm tonight until 6pm tomorrow that is being organized by the Prayer and World Vision team, the Ministry Team that I was placed on. Tonight we have men's time/women's time which are always very impactful.

I work tomorrow and then we leave for the men's retreat to Mexico on Thursday and Friday, then the women leave for their retreat Friday-Sunday, so alot is going on this week.

I hope you are all doing great. I'd love to hear from you, so feel free to drop me an e-mail or give me a call. I continue to ask for prayers for the jobs of people here on project - 2 people have already had to go home for various reasons, but one of which being they could not locate a job that would provide some money for them this summer. It's still a big struggle but we're all trying to stay faithful.

More to come soon -
