So I just got home from 858, which is our campus wide weekly meeting and I am so excited and had to share it with ya'll. Normally we have 858 on campus somewhere in a meeting hall, however this week literally everywhere that would work was booked. So we were not sure if or where we were going to have our weekly meeting this week. Brett and Russ have been spending a lot of time with the PIKE fraternity building relationships with them. And they mentioned to their president our predicament and he offered us the PIKE house to have our weekly meeting at.
After praying about it we decided that it was a great option for a few different reasons. Looking into God's word we see Jesus continually meeting with the tax collectors and sinners, loving them, and sharing truth with them. We looked at this as an opportunity to come onto the PIKE's turf and do just that. We knew that we might receive some push back from the religious just as Jesus did from the Pharisee but we were just fine with that. Yes this is a house that most Friday and Saturday nights probably is not reflecting anything to do with the Lord, but this Tuesday night it was!! How exciting is that! And the cool thing, is that the Lord is really working there. The guys were all awesome and so welcoming to us and opening their house for a "religious" meeting.
What a blessing the PIKE fraternity was to us tonight. Please be in prayer for them and their relationships with Brett and Russ. Pray for salvation for men in that house who don't know the Lord.
Below are a few fuzzy pictures of the meeting. We had about 100 college students come and choose to hear God's word and a Gospel message.
After the meeting tonight we enjoyed some hot chocolate and played some volleyball and got to continue building realtiohships with students and loving on them! All in all it was a great night!
Above is a very fuzzy picture of Brett that I wanted to share with ya'll giving a talk at 858. He spoke on the truth about Religion that night and really brought some convicting points out. We are trusting that the Lord will not allow his word to return void!! (Isaiah 55:11)
