Replying to the prompt, “I’m praying that God would use me as servant by…”

…starting a spiritual movement in Hatch and College Avenue dorms. I have some other dorms as well that have been assigned to me (Mark Twain and McDavid), but I have a big heart for Hatch. I prayed with a guy named James in Hatch to receive Christ and could tell that he was what we call a ‘person of peace.’ His door was open for most of our conversation and about 10 people stopped by just to say hey and see what was happening. I haven’t been able to get a hold of James since, but through people coming into his room I realized that many of them were not believers and had values that would lead away from as opposed to towards reconciliation with the God and judge of all mankind. Since then I have started praying for James and for Hatch that God would do a work and bring many to repentance for the sake of his glory and for the joy of the souls who reside in Hatch.

Another place I would like to see God work through me is to encourage growth in students. I’ve been pursuing a senior named Eric who has a lot of potential to spend his life building into others and I would love to see God use me to bring him to a place where he is more equipped to do so.

I am also praying right now that God would use me as his servant to speak truth to a student named Nicolas who grew up nominally Catholic and has since decided that he believes the teachings of Jesus were of Buddhist nature. I know not what to say to this kid but would like to offer him the truth and life of who Jesus is and for him to discover the wholeness that Jesus can offer.
