This is a new year!
I was on campus today helping students moving in. I also spent some time with Josh, a senior who is excited about recruiting and leading a Bible study. One of my roles this year will be helping him with this. Josh shared with me how he feels God is leading him towards EDGEcorps. How exciting for a guy that one year ago had very little in interest in any sort of ministry!
Would be praying for these next few days? Monday especially is a critical day. We will be running surveys for the new students in the dorms.
There are three types of students we will meet this week.
1. Students who are going to get involved with a Christian group whether we meet them or not.
2. Students who are not interested in getting involved with a Christian group.
3. Students whose time in college will be determined by the first few weeks of their freshman year (not exaggerating!).
This third type of student is what our surveys are aimed at. These students aren't looking to be involved with a Bible study, but are open to it. They are also very vulnerable to the temptations and peer pressures that exist in the dorms.
We need your prayers these next few days!
Pray that God would lead these vulnerable students to our survey table, and make them open to coming to our events. Most of all, pray that we would be able to get them plugged into Bible studies.
Pray also that God would be opening doors for the gospel on the campus!

First, apologies for being a few days late updating this. I know I said in my newsletter it would be on Wednesday. Sorry, I forgot!
Here are some beginning of the year requests:
1. Pray for the guys I will be meeting with this year, that God would bless them with GROWTH over the course of this year:
Cavin, Ben, Jordan, Rudy, Andrew, Josh
2. Pray for a few non-Christian guys that I will be contacting in the next few days:
Haroon, Chris, Cody
3. Pray for our Student Ministry Team...these are the guys who will be recruiting new students and reaching out to the lost this semester.
Thanks, update to follow on Wednesday!
