Ministry...the joys and challenges

So the past couple weeks I have been on campus at the University of Notre Dame. It has been so great to get to know the students and see the movement expanding. I feel like God has really provided for this campus and is going to do big things. Here are some awesome things happening at UND (University of Notre Dame)
     -There are at least 6 Christianity Explained courses being run at this campus. This is a course that explains Jesus' life and what the basics of Christianity is....the people coming to these courses are extremely interested in Jesus and how to have a personal relationship with Jesus.
      -I went to church on Sunday and randomly met a girl who is going to UND and wants to get involved in the Bible study, she is such an amazing Christian, so it will be awesome to have her involved.
      -There is a guy who came along to our Bible study and is interested in coming every week. He has just started to become interested in faith and God and what that might mean for his life, which is exciting to have him involved and learning about who Jesus is.

So yeah, God is totally working on this campus and it is really exciting. There have definitely been some challenges along the way with ministry, especially with such a rapid growth, but it has been so great to be able to grow through this experience and be able to depend on Jesus whenever things get a little rough. I am excited to see what God is going to do this year at UND and would love for your prayers. Pray that the 6 people going through CE would fully accept Jesus by the end of the sessions. Pray that more people come along to Bible study and that the movement could grow even more, and pray for the guy who has just started his faith journey! :)

Thanks to you all for your support! :)
