Revving up ministry

Break is officially over and we're getting back into ministry. It was a trial towards the end of last year. Student leaders have complained about not including worship, which we have been trying this year in order to make the meeting more of an outreach and less of a church service, or simply that the meetings are boring, though new students have been coming.

One of the things we want to focus on this year is developing in ourselves and our students a desperation for God that results in more of a desire for Him and a heart for the lost. To accomplish that we also want to focus on prayer. We had a prayer meeting this morning and several students, some 'clasicos' (longer time in the movement) and some newer, came and joined us. It was very encouraging to see them there and asking God to be at work in their own lives and in the movement. It was also cool to hear one of the students echo our own thoughts- he talked about how he desired to have more of a heart for calling on the Lord.

I'm looking forward to the rest of this year and I'm trusting God to move on campus. Please pray with me that God will really be transforming our lives and and the lives of those in the movement, motivating us to seek Him and to reach out to others in a big way.
