"There is one God and one mediator between men and God, and that is the Man Jesus Christ who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time."  1 Tim 2:5-6

This week (Monday the 11th until Friday the 16th) is missions week on campus at Southampton University.  There is a massive 24/7 prayer tent as well as a Cafe tent set up in the center of the campus where teachings, evangelism, open discussions about christianity, live music, and other events are held throughout the week.          

Monday : Good News

In the morning we all met together to pray, share the gospel and help set up for the events.  We invited students to come in for a teaching and an open discussion about suffering and why a loving God would allow bad things to happen to good people.  During the discussion, a student named Angus asked why God would even create us and allow us to exist in a fallen world, knowing that we will sin and be tempted.   After the discussion ended, he stuck around and sat at his table looking deep in thought.  I sat down next to him and asked him if his questions had been answered.  He told me that he came to encounter God, but felt that his own understanding and the way his mind works would not allow him to come to God in faith.  

Please pray for the students minds to let go of the lies and turn to God.   They are taught that we are not created and that there is no real truth.  They are  constantly presented with a "Savior shopping" mentality, where they are presented with some gospel truths in a cute way, and are told to look into other religions as well 

to see which one best fits them.  Pray for authority in the preaching this week and for the Holy Spirit to lead people into truth and to empower the speakers.  Pray that the students will encounter God.  

I shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ with Angus and prayed with Him.  Pray that he will come back and give his life to Jesus.  

The Chille Out

In the evening, friends from Calvary Chapel arrived with food and a heart to serve!  I was so blessed to see everyone from Calvary eagerly serving food with a smile and engaging with the international students.  Andy and I had an a

mazing time making a ridiculous amount of Chile the night before.  Joe's Testimony presented the students with the gospel and was well received.  Please pray that this night would encourage the church and that we would continue to come together to serve and share the gospel.  

Tomorrow is a new day!  Keep posted for updates all this week.  

Specifically, i appreciate your prayers for:

Tomorrows discussion: the topic is science and religion.  Attendance and that people would get saved.  

Leadership and Boldness in me to share the gospel and lead others to do so as well.  

"For i determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.  I was with you in weakness, in fear and in trembling.  And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God."  1 Corinthians 2:2-5
