Every semester starts with a huge party, in every sense of the word. It was probably the craziest thing I have ever seen. And it was really sad to see these people worshipping at the idol of drunkenness among many other things. Please, please pray that God would break down this idol. He is worthy of all the students' worship.
As everyone was partying it up and burning couches and stuff, some of the college ministries cooked sausages on the barbie (barbecue) and gave them to the students. It was amazing even in the midst of all this how thankful the students were. The would ask, "Why are you doing this?" We would respond by saying, "We are Christians and we just want to love you in a real practical way, by feeding you sausages!" My 'American' accent also lead it questions of why I was in Dunedin which would lead into a spiritual conversation sometimes. Please pray for the students there are so many out there that don't know the truth or have partial truths or know they are living in sin and know the truth but they are so hardened. Pray for V. and Johnathan, and tons of the other students we met tonight why desperately need the Lord!
Pray for us as we start our first week of ministry on the campus. We have already made some good friends with our fellow Christians! Pray as we meet their non-Christian friends, get students connected with the ministry, and pioneer here on campus seeing as though the ministry is only 1 1/2 years old.
Thanks everyone for your prayers! Don't stop! ;)
