And so it begins!!!

Hello, friends! 
The semester is only one day old and already there are so many reasons to be excited!  In just the past two days I have already seen God move in some really powerful ways.  How cool is that?! 

Yesterday we had our first BCM dinner of the semester.  I invited our 7 Core students to join me for dinner as well as a time for vision, planning, and prayer.  While only 4 of our 7 students were able to make the trek, the students who did come were excited for what BCM could do on campus.  They also had some great ideas as to how to build community for our group.  We already have prayer request tabling, Monday night bible studies, and weekly prayer meetings on the docket.  The next step is to build this community into one that reaches out to our friends, classmates, and those in the larger community. 

Today was an ACF day.  I had meetings with three different students, each with a different passion, but each ready to make this semester a great semester for ACF.  Barbara is a Senior and ready to make sure that her last semester is one to remember.  Rachel is a new leader who feels God's call to lead for the first time, even though she is scared of the possibility of being in a position of authority.  Tim is one of our most experienced leaders.  We talked today about how much he wants to lead GIG's, especially in the international student community. 

In both places I can see that momentum is building.  It is so exciting to be a part of the growth of two groups on campus.  A few points for prayer:

- MOmentum, our area wide evangelism training starts on Sunday.  Please pray that God will motivate students to come and see what God has for them in terms of learning how to talk to their friends about Jesus. 
- Friday and Saturday ACF has its leaders retreat.  Please pray that students will catch a vision for the semester to come and that we will build community as a group of leaders. 

Have an excellent day!
