I started the new year and a new semester at BU with a challenge from the Holy Spirit to be more radical, and with confessions to students.
Hellen and Jessica asked me at the beginning of this semester to hold them accountable to be more radical for Jesus this semester. What an incredible thing to have students ask of me! I agreed and then God begin to work in my heart and I realized that I was not being radical enough in my commitment to him and the students he had given me to disciple.
Hellen, Jessica and I had a very intense meeting yesterday morning. I was challenging them on some decisions that they had made about their commitment to the community of Christ here at BU, and I ended up having to confess to them my lack of commitment, too.
We ended our meeting with a decision to pray together every week for the rest of the year. So last night, on campus, we met and prayed for an hour. It was wonderful and all three of us were refreshed and challenged. We will be inviting others to join us, if they want, but we are committed to pray every week, even if no one else joins us.
Will you pray with us also? Every Thursday night @ 9PM Eastern Time we will be praying for an hour. If you could make a note to think about us during that time, every week, and pray a short prayer for us and for the work of God here at BU it would make all the difference.
I know that many of you have been praying for our student leaders - Jessica, Hellen and Michael. Well, as you can tell from my story here, your prayers are being answered. These two women want to know God, and they especially want to see him do something significant on campus through them. Thank you for keeping them in your prayers.
