At Fall Conference two students became Christian (woo-hoo!). Of the other non-Christian students we brought, God made a promise:
"I will have Alicia in a month, student Karie within a year."
Last Thursday, Eddy gave a talk on being missional, and the students went around Sarah's apt. taking out peoples' trash and telling them it was because they love Jesus and love the community. After that, we all got to hang out and some of the worship leaders did a jam session--mixing secular and Christian songs as we sang along. It was really fun, despite my awful voice :P Meanwhile, Alice and Sarah talked for a long time upstairs.
...
Alicia, Sarah, and Jasmine (who had invested in Alica) came downstairs... and Alicia had made a first time decision to follow Jesus and become a Christian!!!
I would like to point out that it was ONE MONTH after fall con :)
Jesus is so good and keeps His promises! It is a reminder to me to pay attention to the other promises He has made and live faithfully and hopefully in them.
Three times in four days I have been reminded that 1) The Kingdom of God draws near as I draw near. 2) The power of Jesus goes with me. 3) I need to live in the reality of both of these.
Jesus, help me to live my life that way and let's see what You can do! Amen :)
