[L>R: Dan, Nate, Adam]
Nate and Dan on my team have been spending a lot of time pouring into the life of a Chinese exchange student called Adam. Staff and students from the 2008 Summer Project that came from the United States were the first ones to meet Adam. Nate reconnected with Adam at the beginning of this school year and has been investing in him ever since. Adam has been quite skeptical of Christianity. Still, he could be found hanging out around Student Life and our staff team. Nate encouraged Adam to come along to a Christianity Explored course at a local church. After many questions, much prayer, and attending our Autumn Retreat, Adam placed his faith in Christ! We are so excited for Adam and we can visibly see the joy of his salvation in Christ!
[L>R: Jeremy, John (back), Ash]
Ash is a guy two of my teammates met and developed a friendship with last year. This year, I’ve continued to invest in a friendship with Ash. I’ve been reading a church history book with him to help him answer some questions about God and the Church. He’s also sat in on a few of my campus Bible studies. Ash agreed to come to Autumn Retreat and came away really challenged by the talks. Later, I was explaining to Ash how someone can know that they have salvation by looking at Romans 10:9. It says, “...if you confess with your mouth, ’Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” I asked him if he knew if he could say this for himself. He said, “Yes.” Upon his confession of faith, I’m excited to see him grow in his understanding of Jesus and what it means to live for Christ.
