Start of the Fall!

Last Friday nervous excitement filled the campus. The freshmen dorms opened up as parents brought their kids for move in time. It’s fun to watch the wide eyed, scared out of their mind freshmen try to figure stuff out.  As for us, this time is the starter gun that begins our busy week of 12 hour work days, and consistent events on campus. Our goal between move in day and the first Cru (which was last night, tuesday) is to meet as many students as possible. we did move in and met a handful, handed out ice cream (150 students), pancaked in a dorm (165 students), coffeehouse on campus (100 students), handed out free stuff for freshmen (100 people), and free dinner (100 people). Each of those students filled out a contact card and indicated wanting to be followed up with. It is so cool to see how the Lord has provided for us. We have now begun texting, facebooking, calling, all these students to sit down one on one to share the Gospel with them, and challenge them to walk with God in college. So far we’ve had the opportunity to share the Gospel with 7 people, had a guy trust in Christ, and we’ve had and electric weekly meeting in which I had the most fun I’ve had at a Cru in quite a while. We love the momentum that’s building, and pray the Lord sustains it for us that we may grow as a movement for the purpose of reaching the entire campus at SFA with the Gospel.
