God Is Moving on Campuses!
Thank you again for your generosity and prayers.
The gospel is advancing among students because you stand with us. We are deeply grateful for you, praying for you, and believing for even greater fruit in the days ahead!
God is marking campuses with his revival fire and we want in! Here's what we've already seen so far:
1. God Is Awakening Desire in a Generation
The Lord is stirring hunger in students’ hearts. When asked: "what do you want from God?", they expressed desires for change, forgiveness, and a godlier lives. Their growth, spiritual hunger, and openness to God, even in the shy and still-forming hearts, is so clear!
2. Truth Is Breaking Lies About God's Nature
God is confronting false beliefs about His nature and revealing His goodness in the midst of a broken world. A student’s question about suffering opened a powerful conversation about God’s goodness and many students gained clarity and healing as they realized God is not the author of their pain but a loving Father who desires good for them. Faith was restored, confusion was lifted, and hearts began to trust God again.
3. Fruit Is Emerging From Seeds of Salvation
Students who recently gave their lives to Jesus shared tangible changes such as transformed attitudes, cleaner speech, and new perspectives. What began as a simple prayer is now producing visible fruit. God is confirming the work He has begun, and these lives are being marked by real and lasting transformation.
We and so many others have been so impacted by your prayers!
Pray with us for:
~ Fiery love for Jesus to fan into flames all across campuses
~ Eyes to partner with where and how God is already moving
~ Grace to apprehend His call with courage & boldness
~ Visible multiplication in harvest and lasting fruit.
What we are meditating on at the onslaught of the year:
~ Acts 1 - the preparation for the promise of the Holy Spirit (WAIT)
~ Acts 2 - the recieving of power to GO (birthing of the church)
Acts 1: 7-8
"And He said to them, 'it is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.'"
1 Corinthians 3:6-7
"I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase."
We are trusting that as we wait on and depend upon the Lord, He will release the power needed to plant and water the seeds of the gospel. While we may not know the timing or the seasons, our assignment remains clear: to wait, receive, plant, and water - trusting God for the increase.
Prayer:
Lord, we thank you for your Holy Spirit. Fill us afresh and make us faithful and effective planters of Your Word that is able to save souls. Refresh us so that we may always be generous stewards and givers of your resources. We entrust ourselves and every studnet to You, in the name of Jesus. Amen!
