Thursday Update

Yesterday (Thursday), we were able to go share at the University. For some of us, this was definitely out of our comfort zone as we were walking up to complete strangers and presenting the gospel. Some of the students were quick to turn us away, but we were able to make friends and find some receptive hearts. We were able to get the contact information for around 40 students and told them we would be back on Friday if they wanted to talk. We also had several students accept Christ as their Lord and Savior!

In the afternoon, we went door-to-door in the neighborhood where we would be showing the Jesus Film that evening. Several of us were actually invited into the homes to visit. Luke was able to spent 30 minutes with one family who all accepted Christ. They also came out for the Jesus Film that evening and showed evidence of a true understanding of the decision they made. They really enjoyed the movie and are excited about their new church family.

Some prayer requests for Friday:

• The University Students - Pray for the students that we met yesterday and the students that we will meet today. Pray that they might have receptive hearts that would be open to the Gospel.
• VBS - Pray for the children as this will be our last day working with the children. It will be hard to leave them. Pray that they might decide to live for Christ and truly become His disciples.
• Josh, Katherine, Ryan, and Mary Ann - They will be flying back tonight on a red-eye. Pray for traveling mercies as they will arrive back at RDU around 11:00 in the morning. Also, pray for them as they say goodbye to their new Bolivian friends. It will be an emotional goodbye this evening.
• The Tolbert Family - They will be leaving Tuesday to return to the States. Pray for their traveling mercies as well.

We have uploaded a couple of more pictures to the Picasa Website.
