So, on campuses, it has seriously been really good, but I don't think I ever fully realized how difficult ministry is. Let me explain....I love ministry and seeing campuses grow and students just opening up their hearts to Jesus and the Gospel. There is seriously no greater joy in that, but I never knew the tough situations that can come through ministry as well. I don't think I ever realized how many decisions I would be making and just moving from the role of student to missionary is crazy!
I love it though....ministry has been wonderful and God is just teaching me and growing me more then I could ever imagine! So here is an update on the campuses we are on:
University of Notre Dame: They now have 2 bible studies, 2 prayer hours, a weekly meeting at a neighboring campus they can attend, and a monthly social! There are new people coming into the group each week and it is growing tremendously. God is just moving in big ways on that campus. There are also 6 Christianity Explained courses taking place that are going really well. So prayer requests for this campus is that even with all the growth we are not seeing the students take up leadership, they love coming to the group, but dont want to take responsibility to run it. Pray for passionate students who will step up into leadership roles!
Sydney Uni: They are going really well! 4 Bible studies, weekly meeting, a few evangelism hours, and a couple prayer hours! This campus is definitely going really well! Pray that as they grow more leaders would step up and just that God would continue to bless this ministry.
ACU: I am beginning a Christianity Explained course on this campus tomorrow! It is exciting seeing the group begin with one person at the beginning of the year (Abraham) and grow into having at least 4 or 5 interested people now. Pray for Abraham, that God would give him strength and perseverance to keep reaching his campus for Jesus and that many more people would become interested! :)
UNSW: This campus is going fairly well too. There are weekly Bible studies and meetings for the students there. There are multiple Christianity Explained courses going on and people who are eager to learn more about Jesus. Pray that these contacts would fully commit their lives to Christ and God would create a passion in them to reach their campus for Him. Also, there is only one leader on this campus, so pray that more students would step up into the leadership position! :)
Other then that, ministry is great! It has definitely been a growing experience and growing my faith! Thanks for all your prayers! :)
