God's Lost Sheep FOUND!! - February 2013 Newsletter
“Then he calls his
friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost
my sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in
heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who
do not need to repent.”
Luke 15:6-7
God’s Lost Sheep – FOUND!!
Praise
God!! PRAISE GOD!!! This has been such a month for rejoicing and praising God!!
Some of you who get our emails have heard how two people have come into a
personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and this last week we just learned of
a third!!! We
can’t help but praise God for the work He’s doing on campus!!
Chris,
a junior that Malcolm disciples, prayed for his friends back in Fort Collins to
come to know God at a prayer meeting earlier in the month. A day or two later
Chris’ friend, Blayden, was sharing with Chris how he had come to believe that
God exists. Chris was stoked just to see God answering prayer and was going to
share the Gospel with him over spring break. Nate (on staff with us) heard that
and quickly encouraged Chris to call Blayden and share the Gospel with him
before spring break. That very night, Chris called Blayden, shared the
Gospel, and Blayden received Christ as Lord of His life!!
Since
then, Blayden has been in contact with Chris and asking him questions about his
new found faith. He has been back and forth about whether he wants to follow
God or not. Pray that Blayden will continue to grow up in Christ and find
fellowship in the Fort Collins area.
This
semester Stephanie has been asking Gigi if she would be interested in getting
together to talk, and, after a little hesitation, she finally met up and loved
her time with Stephanie, asking, “Can we do this every week?” The next
week that they met up, Stephanie shared the Gospel with Gigi, and she accepted
Christ!! Please
pray that Gigi will get involved in fellowship and will grow in her newfound
life in Christ!
A
couple weeks ago Malcolm told many of you about Junior, a guy that he and a
couple other leaders approached in spiritual conversation and got to share the
Gospel with. Malcolm and Robert (one of the leaders) got a chance this last
week to meet up with him again and see where he was at in accepting Christ. As
it turns out, he prayed the prayer that Malcolm presented when they had last
met! Malcolm got
to share Revelation 3:20 with Junior, and he was so excited to know that Jesus
really wanted a personal relationship with him! Pray for Junior in his new
faith, and for he and Robert to continue to meet up weekly.
We
are SO EXCITED to see God answering prayers, providing opportunities, and
people stepping out in faith!!! Pray that these new believers will be
followed up with and encouraged to follow Christ. And pray that we will keep
having opportunities to share Jesus with more people at Fort Lewis College!
Prayer Requests
-
Pray
that we can continue to meet people and boldly share the Gospel to the lost at
Fort Lewis College!! And pray that hearts will soften to God and accept Christ
as Lord more and more.
-
Pray
for students to balance their time well between school and ministry, and that
busyness won’t blind them from the opportunities to share Jesus with FLC.
-
Pray
for those that we have shared Christ with this past month to keep remembering
the truth shared with them, and to keep seeking God. And, of course, pray that
they come to know Christ.
-
Pray
for our health and “ministry stamina” in the last couple months of the school
year. Though we are excited for all God is doing, we are also feeling the
mid-semester “drag”. I also have been having some small health issues, and some
prayers for healing and wisdom on what to do next would be greatly appreciated.
-
We are
also going to be the project directors for Crush Fear this May, and could use
your prayers as we tackle this next step in trusting God.
