Back into the action!

Well the spring semester has started and we are 2 and a half weeks in. We are so encouraged by what God is doing in the lives of students. It is always interesting to see how students who attended the Winter Conference respond to the life changing week, and how they choose to live differently back at school. The biggest result of this that we have seen so far is at our outreaches.
On Monday and Friday afternoon we invite our students to meet us in the Students Center so that we can spend some time sharing our faith. We look to use some of the great tools that Crusade has for us, that help us begin a conversation with a random person, and turn that conversation into a spiritual one where, when to Spirit leads, we give them the opportunity to place thier faith in Christ.
Last semester's outreachs were great, we sometimes had even around 10 students show up. However this semester, almost everyone from Winter Conference is showing up. we are having upwards of 18-20 people show up to share with others about who Jesus is and how they can have a relationship with God!!
We are so excited and encouraged by this. After 4 days of outreach Autumn and I have probably shared the Gospel with 9-10 people and I was venture a guess that altogether our students have shared the Gospel or initiated a spiritual conversation with well over 30 people.
We rejoice in those numbers, but we measure our success by how often we step out in faith to begin a conversation with the purpose of sharing the Gospel, while leaving the results up to God.
