Everywhere'04
T-73 Days until Atlanta Christmas Conference 2004! For those of you who don’t know, Atlanta Christmas Conference is an event that draws all the college students involved in our ministry to Atlanta for four days. Here they will hear spiritual teaching and training and have multiple opportunities to outreach to different communities in Atlanta. We typically have 1000+ students attend and are we are praying also for non-believing students to come as well, whether they’re brought by friends or just happen to hear about it.
The details are coming together for this year’s conference and for the first time ever we have students registered this early for the conference! Our theme this year is Everywhere, with the vision being to start movements for God everywhere, on every campus, in every sorority and fraternity house, in every country, among every people group.
I’m so thankful to have had the opportunity to work on our marketing and graphics for the conference and was even able to shoot and produce some short promotional commercials to be shown on campuses. For more information, check out our website: www.atlantachristmasconference.com. Pray that God would be moving in students hearts to come and be changed for Him, and that He would be in every detail of the conference.
Praying for Revival
God has lain a burden on my heart and the hearts of some of my friends here in Atlanta. He has called us to get on our knees and pray every night for revival to come to Atlanta, to intercede for the college students and young adults, and to pray that it would spread like wildfire. Please pray that we would have endurance and patience and that God would move. 100 years ago on the 31st of this month, a revival began in a small Welsh town with the prayers of one seminary student and 17 young adults. This revival spread so quickly that in the course of one year, it had touched the entire world. 100,000 alone came to know the Lord in the area where the prayer began. Please pray that God would use the overflow of our hearts to share with others also.
Planners'04
In August and September, I’m excited to say that our planners were shipped, received, and passed out on campuses. Students on different campuses held outreaches to pass the planners out and to share the gospel. I received a call just the other day from Tim Schuman at the University of New Hampshire. He was so excited to tell me that because of the popularity of the planners they have an entry now into the Greek System on their campus. Non-believing Greek leaders have actually raised funds to purchase quantities of planners to hand out to fraternities and sororities for free. They’ve also asked Tim to come in and do a talk on priorities and time management which could yield many contacts as well as an opportunity to share the gospel during the talk. He also told me that a Resident Assistant on campus who is not a believer just decided to purchase planners for her students a month ago and handed them out to her residents. God is just working in amazing ways!
Pray that non-believing students who have received the planners would continue to read the evangelistic content at the front of the planner, and that believing students would continue to plant seeds in their lives.
