Praise
In recent months we’ve seen the group grow in incredible ways and we’re immensely grateful to God for this. Especially now, quite a few students who are still searching for the Lord have been taking part in our meetings, and what is even more encouraging has been seeing their hearts rejoicing at what they’ve been learning from His Word.
We’ve managed to have dinner together on many occasions before doing the study, and this has created a wonderful atmosphere of friendship amongst us. Often everyone feels able to share prayer requests and we’re able to take time to pray
together.
In January we also went into the Faculty to talk to the students we met and the Lord
enabled us to share the Gospel in our conversations.
We also needed to find a new coordinator for the new academic year, but even in this instance the Lord knew how to exceed every expectation and we are grateful for how He has provided for this too.
We are therefore immensely grateful to God, as His leading was very evident. We started out with nothing at the start of October, and what we’re now seeing is without a doubt the fruit of His grace which has made everything happen.
Prayer
Our prayers are certainly for these young students who are still getting to know the Lord, that Christ’s message that they’re hearing in the Bible studies would really produce fruit in their hearts, in the ways He desires.
We are currently facing a few logistical challenges, especially in terms of choosing which day to meet and being able to meet in person, so we’re praying for wisdom to make choices that would glorify God more, even if these put us out of our comfort zone.
We feel the need to be increasingly guided in our Bible study to prevent us falling into purely intellectual discussions about what we’re reading. We want primarily to be talking about faith lived out.
