Hello, friends!

Time sure does fly when you're having fun, doesn't it? It seems like just yesterday the school year started and now we're already in the final months!

Praise Jesus, we have seen all sorts of great things happen this semester. Here are a few highlights:

From Meg:Fall Retreat
Fall Retreat – “The Way”
· 24 students from UMSL participated in our annual international Fall Retreat. That is double the number of students who went last year! Many of those 24 came in very skeptical towards God and left curious & open to hearing more about God.
· We have a new sister in Christ! Remember Dora? Our last update I mentioned that Andi, our intern, began an investigative Bible study with Dora. Throughout the retreat, it was evident that God was moving in Dora’s heart. The last morning there, she looked at Andi and said, “I believe Jesus died for me. I want to follow him.” Praise God for a new sister!

From Adam:

Momentum is a beautiful thing...
Willin BaptismGod has definitely been doing good work at Mizzou ACF, FloValley, Columbia College, and Columbia College!
- In ACF, we have already seen 4 students make decisions to follow Jesus this year, matching our entire total from last year!
- At FloValley, we have begun our first regular bible study, meeting on Monday afternoons.
- Our scouting at Columbia College has begun to take off. Next week our ACF students will be doing Random Acts of Kindness on campus to try and meet more students.

Meet Robert...

Robert
This year, both Meg and I have the privilege of training various staff. Last update, we met Andi, who Meg is training. This update, you get to meet Robert (pictured with 2 ACF Ladies), who is a campus intern planting at FloValley with Adam.

Robert actually has multiple jobs. To go along with his part time job, he is also helping staff the chapter at Saint Louis University, where he went to school. One of Robert's best qualities is his openness and desire to help people. It has been a pleasure watching him connect with FloValley students while leading bible studies, meeting random students, and even doing a little math tutoring! =0).
Prayer Requests:
- Urbana Recruitment: Pray that God will bring many students to this life transforming conference
- Increase in Leaders. Many of our students will be graduating either this semester or next. Please Pray that God will send new missional students to our groups.
- More New Life: Praise Jesus, we have already seen so many students make decisions to follow Jesus and many more who are curious. Please pray that those students will say "yes" to following Jesus
