Some of you may remember me asking you to pray for a group of non-Christian guys in the "A" building. I have gone in to try and read the Bible with them a few times, mostly unsuccessfully. The only one I have been able to read with is Chris. I sense God asking me to continue to go into that dorm, but it has been discouraging.
Encouraging, however, is an opportunity I have to read the Bible with another group of non-Christian guys...this one through one of the guys in my Bible study. Jaime lives with two guys named Tory and Matt, both of whom I met this last weekend. Jaime decided that this Friday we would ask them to read the Bible with us. This is exciting!
Pray:
1. For continued open doors in the "A" building.
2. For Matt and Tory to have open hearts prepared to hear the gospel!
3. That Jaime would get a heart for evangelism and the lost through our experience.

I have started to ask a few of the Bereans to think about their summer plans...last summer, many of them made the decision to stay at home the entire time. Long Beach State has a very long summer break, and almost all of them struggled and felt isolated. This summer, I am hoping that several of them will decide to either go on overseas trips, or go to a "summer training program" as the Navigators call our summer opportunities here in the states.
These summer trips are so often incubators for spiritual growth, and can be key times in the lives of students. God used one of these in my life in the summer after my sophomore year. Would you be praying that these young men would choose to use their summers for God's purposes?
1. Pray for the courage to risk going on a mission trip.
2. Pray for the vision to see the value of these programs.
3. Pray that these guys would make a decision by faith!

I am not Paul. The Apostle to the Gentiles was a bold evangelist, a man of great intellect, a man with unparallelled knowledge of the Scriptures.
But even Paul felt it was necessary to ask his friends to pray that God would open doors for his Gospel to be spread! Being a man of much less talents and giftings, how much more do I need such prayers!
The truth is, the power behind the spread of the Gospel is the power of God! The Holy Spirit must go before us to open eyes and hearts, so that when we speak the Word, it is heard with power. Therefore, I am asking for your prayers.
1. For open doors for the Gospel in the dorms at Long Beach.
2. For open doors in Residence A.
3. For boldness in sharing the Gospel for me and the guys I work with.
