Most American schools and universities have started the new academic year. Kenneth entered his last semester at university and will graduate in December. Monica started her second year, and she is an assistant in her residence looking after 22 first-year students. It was fun to watch her prepare to be their guide. She stocked up with evangelistic resources to guide them spiritually too.
A highlight of the past few months has been Friday evenings, where youth from our church and a bunch of Monica’s high school friends would meet at our home for some good food and Bible study. A number of the students were not believers in Jesus yet. We loved answering their questions and studying how the gospel is relevant in 2024.
Much of modern culture assumes there is no God, so we have to solve our problems on our own. But the gospel announces a comforting rescue! The gospel declares that God has provided the help we need when we can’t help ourselves. We simply need to receive it. The gospel is truly good news.
Two of the young people, we will call them M and T, have recently accepted the gospel and Jesus’ payment for their sins. We meet with them separately to make sure they understand the basics of our faith. We love helping new believers because it helps us to review what God has done for us through fresh eyes.
Thank you for enabling us to help church planters reach their full potential in other countries and also to help students grow in their faith in our local community.
Prayer Requests:
- Pray for M and T as they grow in their understanding of what Jesus did for them and learn to trust Him in every area of their lives. Pray also for their families to become believers.
- Kenneth was in a car accident during Tropical Storm Debby, which went over Florida recently. Thankfully, the Lord’s hand was over him, and he did not even get a scratch. However, the car was written off. Please pray for a suitable, reliable replacement for that vehicle.
- Stefan is in Europe to meet with the our European church planting leaders. Pray that he will encourage them as they try new strategies that we see have succeeded in other European countries.
- Pray for Kenneth and Monica as they trust the Lord to do well in their studies and to impact the lives of other students for Jesus.
