This semester has been so great. We've seen students trust in Christ, students grow in thier faith, we've seen God raise up a great group of students and put them in our lives, and its been so great to see them grow. The semester is coming to an end, but its not over yet. Right now we are stressing to our students, and ourselves, the importance of finishing strong.
Autumn had wrote about our leadership retreat, which went great. At that retreat we had a mens time where the guys talked about our ministry, what we do well, and what we can do better to more effectively reach the guys on campus with the Gospel. God did some really cool things with that time as he stirred the hearts of our guys to begin praying for the Fall now!
Us as staff are so proud, and so excited for thier heart to reach the lost men at SFA. Our 4 leadership guys have now started meeting weekly, and have included a few others already, and have began praying for the men at SFA and how God can use them to reach the entire population. Lets keep this in mind and see what God does.
I was chatting with another staff guy this week about the semester. One of our big goals was to begin to reach the fraternity system with the Gospel. We've tried big events, treating them like regular students, and many other things which have failed in the past. The frat guys have to trust you. So we have been praying and set a goal to have good relationships developed within the Greek system so that in the Fall we would be able to pick back up. I considered this setting low standards but I never figured it would work so well that we have a growing relationship with 1 or more guys in 2 fraternities. It may seem like a small thing, but to me its not. I believe its the begining of something big in those two particular houses. They are really cool guys who I believe God will use to build His Kingdom in a tough place.
Thats all for now.
