Semester is on its way!

This semester has started off great. Autumn and I seem to hardly have any time to take a break and catch our breath, so we are excited for having nothing tying us down this weekend. I just wanted to hop on here and share about how much we've seen the Lord work this past week and a half on campus.
As I mentioned in the previous blog we had recieved a ton of contact cards from random events. I don't have the exact count but between Autumn and I, I would say that we had atleast 45-50 appointments with some of those students in the last week or so, and thats not counting the appointments our staff team and students had. Just to paint the picture of what I mean when I say appointment...it goes like this...
We set up the appt for 20-30 minutes with a student, spend some time getting to know them and hear about thier life. Share with them about Cru, and turn the conversation into a spiritual one. Then through a couple different questions that I ask everyone I meet with ( "0%-100% how sure are you that you would go to heaven if you died today?" and..."so now your standing before God, and He asks you "why should I let you into Heaven"...what do you say?"). Based on the answer, which is depressingly almost always wrong, we then share the Gospel with them using some great tools, and give them the opportunity to place thier faith in Christ, or maybe help them understand what they say they already believe.
It's just been a great start to the year, by my head count I'd say us, our students, and staff have probably shared the Gospel with over 250 people, including the SFA Cru record 95 people we saw at our first meeting. We have also seen 8 people pray on the spot to receive Christ and had numerous others leave seriously considering the Gospel.
Great start, and we are excited to see what God will do with the uncoming weeks. Hopefully we can get a more detailed update soon, but I thought I'd just do that scatter shot for now!
