Sorry that I am late in updating this...I have been so busy! It is a lot of work trying to recruit students and get a ministry up and running, especially since I am going alone.
Would you pray for the following things?
1. For men to join a Bible study--
I am still in the process of recruiting a group of five or so believers to join a Bible study. Pray that the contacts I have now would respond!
2. For our first large group meeting--
Pray that God would bring many people and that he would speak through me as I share on the Parable of the Sower
3. Pray for courage and persistence for me--
Emotionally, I am up and down. This is hard work! Pray that I would stick close to Jesus in this.

August 16th, 2010
This is it.
On Wednesday, I will walk on to campus and begin my new ministry at the University of Southern California. My first day I will be carrying a clipboard and a stack of surveys (and some candy to entice people). As the new freshman class moves into their dorms, I will be looking for a group of students who want to study the Bible with me!
What I have:
1. A clear call from God
2. Three years of training in college ministry
3. An id card, official recognition, and a room reserved
What I need:
1. Prayer
2. Guidance to the right students
3. Patience, persistence, wisdom, and courage
Would you pray for me?
1. Pray for guidance to the right students
2. Pray that I would work hard during these first few weeks
3. Pray for courage and boldness in approaching students
4. Pray for the Spirit to be present with me in all I do!

August 9th, 2010--
USC students arrive on August 18th!
I am praying towards that day...what will God do through me at USC?
Remember a few things:
1. Starting a new ministry from scratch is a work of God. I am going to do whatever he asks me. But in the first year, I may have only a few students involved.
2. My vision is starting to form, slowly, for what I want God to do through me. The first year will solidify it, but here are a few thoughts:
--I have been praying for all of Los Angeles to be transformed. Students at USC are leaders. Reaching them reaches more than just the campus
--I want to see students have a heart for holiness, and to be humble
--I want to see students develop a heart for prayer
3. How can you be praying for me?
--Pray for the right students to join me. This requires discernment, patience, and faith.
--Pray for encouragement. Maybe the experience will be easy. Maybe it will be hard. Either way, I need God's power to be with me!
--Pray for vision. I do not want to get caught up in small things!
I will be updating this on Mondays this whole semester, once a week!
