Two Weeks to Go

Hi friends! I am still here, although very tired and getting ready for the year to end.

Our Easter dinner was wonderful! We had over 40 people come and half of them we did not know. And even more exciting - there were men there! I know that sounds kind of sketchy :) but getting men involved in anything on campus is a challenge at BU. We have been praying to discover the key to attract men to our fellowship. I believe the key lies in our men inviting their friends. That's what happened for the Easter dinner.  There were also two international students from China there and a number of students from other Christian groups on campus.

Our fellowship was good and there was lots of food.

Classes end on April 29th, which will be my last day on campus. But there are still more things to do.

April 24th is our year end banquet - pray for finances to pay for that
In the next two weeks we will be meeting with our returning students to plan our events for next year.
May 10th Gene is getting ordained!
Then, all May, we will be holding staff planning meetings to work on next year and determine what we will study and prepare for the summer.

God can still do some great things in the lives of our students in the next two weeks. I'm looking forward to sharing those things with you.

The Last Two Events

This weekend is Easter and every year we host a free Easter dinner on campus on Easter Sunday. We have had up to 85 students attend and it is always a great time of celebration and great food.

And our last event of the year is our Year End Banquet on April 24th. This is where we celebrate the year together and honor our graduating seniors.

Will you please pray that God would bless these events? Would you especially pray that God would provide finances to cover the expenses? Thank you for all your prayers.

On Campus Today

Today I am on campus in my office, the back court in the GSU. Every Thursday I get together with a number of women in Chi Alpha for one on one discipleship. God has been using this time powerfully in the lives of the women I work with.

One woman is praying for the gifts of the Spirit - namely the gift of wisdom. Another is working hard on her relational skills with others and a couple others are working hard to make it through to graduation in May.

We have four weeks of classes left and graduation is in the middle of May. It doesn't seem to be very much time but God can do a lot in four weeks. Please pray that God would continue to change and grow the students we work with.
