Prayer Night

Last night we had a prayer session with the students and it was so encouraging. We all met up together and chatted about our second semester mission. This year we will be doing a lot of walk up evangelism and talking to people about what they believe and inviting them along to different events that we are putting on as Student Life. We will be having a lunch hour each day to chat, eat, hang out, and play cards. We also will be having a weekly meeting and also a new Chai tent one day a week. We will be handing out free Chai tea and creating a social on campus around this.

I am so excited about this mission and going out doing evangelism each day and just getting to know people and what the believe, but last night was one of the highlights of this year. Listening to the students prayers for this campus and for them to be so excited and passionate about reaching out to students and making evangelism as a way of life was so amazing.

At the end of the night the students put us missionaries in the middle of the circle and surrounded us and prayed for us as well. This was so amazing hearing the prayers of the students surrounding us and hearing how much we have encouraged them and I guess helped them was overwhelming, but so exciting. It is amazing what God has done in just three and a half years of having Student Life on Newcastle campus and how much the students have grown.

I was so encouraged last night and am so excited for second semester mission. Tomorrow is our first day back on campus and I would love to ask for prayer for our first two weeks of outreach. Pray that God would pour His strength into us as we go out and pray for open hearts for those we talk to. Pray that we can really see fruit from these 2 weeks of outreach.
