You MUST be praying! Please don't stop!
Today has been another great day. Though many are starting to feel the effects of fatigue from an emotional and very active week, God continues to work MIGHTILY IN and THROUGH GSM students.
This morning, Pastor Jeff Bogue challenged us from the Word as a follow-up to last night's incredible experience, to consider what God is asking of us individually. He explained the importance of simple obedience to God's commands and leading in our lives. Many students are evaluating how seriously they show their claimed love for Christ through obedience to Him.
After another round of sponge sessions, another group of 20 headed for Dayton to work with the organization we've made contact with and to spend some time sharing their faith in a park in downtown Dayton. I am SO ENCOURAGED by the fearlessness of our students to approach complete strangers and love them and share Christ with them. YOUR STUDENTS are buying pretzels for homeless people, playing with children, talking to very real and dirty people...and it is evident that they are doing it out of love - remember, they have voluntarily chosen to go on these excursions.
In other news, our GSM dodgeball team won the dodgeball tourney this afternoon, and our district quiz team, including one of our own as it's top quizzer has made it all the way to the FINALS which will be tomorrow during a main session in front of the entire conference!
It has been a great day! We continue to covet your prayers for great opportunities to "live out" our faith, for open, teachable and obedient hearts, and for a good night's rest tonight!
