"4th Journey"
Even in this secure location in the Middle East, we are using a new Internet strategy to unearth students who are interested in learning about spirituality. They have lots of hits on their website and facebook groups, but now comes to task of figuring out how to follow up with people. There has been some protesting going on and general unrest from people, but the team is doing well.
- Pray for boldness for the team to keep stepping out in faith in this land with hard soil.
This project is only about 4 weeks long, so this team will actually come home next week. They were schedule to stay in a small university town in central Ghana (in West Africa), but have since changed courses and moved to the capital city, Accra. They also have shown the Jesus Film in villages around the country. Katie, the project director, shares some great photos and stories on her blog.
- Pray that this large team of 29 students would be able to find students to minister to and that they would be united as a team despite various difficulties and challenges.
Every summer, our teams discover that the land down under is full of international students! They rely on our bread and butter to do ministry: one-on-one conversations. Using a variety of Cru ministry tools, they have initiated 250+ spiritual conversations and 88 conversations that included a Gospel presentation. At least 5 students have made decisions for Christ. All of these conversations happened with students from over 33 different countries!
- Pray that these new believers would grow deep roots, and that they'd make connections with other believers who can help them grow.
My prayer for this summer has been that students would encounter other students who would ultimately trust in "...God our Savior: the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas..." -Psalm 65
