Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. ~Lamentations 3:22-23
Dear Campus Life Friends,
I’m not really big on numbers, but as my predecessor Dave Justice used to say, numbers don’t tell you everything, but they do tell you something. Here are some numbers from
our first week of fall programming that should bless the socks off of you.
Women’s Simulcast event 65 Men’s Bible Study 62
Kingdom Kid Bible Story Hour 27 (plus 22 parents)
Adventure Club 35 Women’s Bible Study 93
Senior Lunch Bunch 109 Adult Bible Study 16
...and that’s not including our high school and middle school club programs and Bible studies, plus all of the kids that participated in juvi. jail Bible studies and church. Overall, we’re off to a GREAT start to the school year. Thank you for your prayers and support as we launch another wonderful year of ministry.
Along those same lines, Campus Life has a visitation ministry called Senior Oasis. We currently have about 25 volunteers involved in this outreach, and are now very excited to announce that we have gained permission to begin visiting in another facility - PRAISE GOD! That makes five, and we couldn’t be happier. Looking for a place to plug-in? It just takes a little bit of time, and a caring heart, to share Jesus with lonely people.
God continues to do some great things through the ministry of Campus Life. He has blessed us with so many opportunities, and we strive daily to be faithful to His calling. All of this, working with the young and old, just to do one thing - share the Gospel, the Good News of Jesus, with the youth and families of the area, and to help people move one-step closer to Jesus. It is so awesome to see this multi-generational ministry reaching out and serving our community in a plethora of ways. God has truly blessed us. We are humbled and we are thankful. And we just keep walking through doors of opportunity.
As we plant “seeds of the Gospel” it is exciting to see God at work. Thank you for all of your prayers and support. We need you. Summer donations were VERY low, and we now need to catch up. If you can help we would greatly appreciate it. You are a critical part of this ministry and we can’t do this without you.
