Large Group Evangelism!

Hello, friends! 

Wednesday, well I guess last Wednesday, was our first Large Group of the semester, which also made it the first Large Group of 2014!  Exciting, right?! 

Over the break, Megan and I went to our Regional Staff Conference where the focus was on evangelism.  (This is different from the National Staff Conference that we went to in January)  There, we were pushed to consider if we were dreaming too small in terms of evangelism.  I was particularly pressed to come to terms with what I can only describe as a fight for control.  Evangelism is a tough thing because it requires complete reliance on God.  It's much easier to do things that you can directly affect.  Still, I felt the call to make evangelism a more explicit part of our Large Group strategy.

So, on Wednesday we gave it a shot.  Instead of doing a traditional message, we broke students up into small groups and our leaders shared the Gospel, asking our friends for decisions.  At the end of the night, I made a call to see if anyone had made a decision. 

Ultimately, no one made a decision on Wednesday night but that's ok.  Like I said, who comes to Jesus really isn't about us.  All we can do is continue to share Christ's love with every Asian and Asian American on campus and pray that the Holy Spirit will do his thing. 

Have an excellent day!
