* Pray for Eric as he teaches through Colossians for the Chinese fellowship. Pray that he would clearly display the excellencies of Christ and encourage these college students and families to pursue a heaven bound life.
* Pray for a new outreach to students called “Waffles and Wonder.” We are partnering with several other ministries to offer a free waffle bar lunch for students and a speaker introduces an apologetic related topic. Our speaker for this series is Dr. Jon Kerstetter who is a retired military doctor. His memoir is available here: https://a.co/d/0oLFtAy We had a great discussion at our table afterward as two muslim students from Pakistan wrestled with how to anchor their value in something other than academic performance.
* Pray as we build relationships with students at outreach events. This Saturday we are taking internationals to an Amish farm for a tour. After the tour they will have dessert and hear a testimony of Christ's work in someone's life. For most of these students this is their very first time to hear the Gospel. Pray for wise follow up with these students.
* Eric is meeting with men this semester for discipleship. Pray that these students would grow in every grace. Pray for wisdom in how to help each one. We also have had a steady stream of counseling opportunities within the international community. Pray for wisdom with these.
