Story of the Week 65 Campus Mentors Keep Their Eyes on the Prize
Greetings!
"But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining
toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God
has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."
- Philippians 3:13b-14
Last weekend, 65 college students focused on the target to impact
high schools with the Gospel of Christ. At our Fall Retreat in Lake Hughes, CA, 10 Cluster Leaders
from the Biola Chapter trained 51 Biola students and 4 Azusa Pacific University
students: our largest training event to date!
The main
theme of the weekend was to love the gospel. John, our guest speaker, taught
from Philippians and challenged us to let go of anything that stands in the way
of serving King Jesus.
One student
said "I grew in my hope for Gods' plan and ability to grow and work through us
and through CSP." Another said, "I got excited about the basics - the gospel is the
most important and best news that we have!"
Pray With Us The Biola
and APU teams are going out to share their passion for the gospel with the high
school students they'll mentor. Please pray that the mentors can communicate the convictions they've
learned and that the students respond.
The task
before them is difficult: equipping high school students to be light in very
dark places. Pray for the Mentors and students that they are protected from
attack and that they grow closer to Jesus as they serve Him this year. Thank you again for partnering with us in prayer!
