Over break, my sister and I went to Indianapolis to attend a Chi Alpha conference. Chi Alpha are Christian organizations on a public college campus. We were overwhelmingly blessed and encouraged to see so many young people pursuing God. We left refreshed and confident knowing that God is speaking and this generation is listening!
The classes we are taking this semester are Comparitive Religions, Worldviews, Principles of Leadership, Foundations to Biblical Preaching and Travel Seminar. These classes are all very challenging and eye opening to us, but the one that has struck me the most would have to be Worldviews. Our professor is probing us with questions, forcing us to state what we believe, why we believe it, when did we come to believe it, who has shaped our worldview, is it a biblical worldview? In our Comparitive Religions class, we visited a mosque and we hope to take another field trip before the semester is through!
As we prepare to preach for the first time tomorrow, we are reminded that, "God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind" - 2 Timothy 1:7
Thank you so much for your prayers and support! The students continue to grow and be stretched and we look forward to much more of it in the next couple of months. So far we know that we'll just be taking a backpack to Peru, everything we need for 5 weeks will have to fit in there! We will also be going to the jungle for 10 days. Sometimes I sit back in awe of God and His mercies. So blessed to be serving the one, true God!
I hope your holidays were great and this year has started off with you focused on God's will for your life!
The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love. The Lord is good to all- Psalm 145:8-9
