Men Committed to Following Christ :: A Proverbs 27:17 Environment



[Here is one of the groups of men I have the privilege of
leading in discipleship & Bible study on campus.
From Left to Right :: Me, Geoff, Adam, Cody, Will, Jonathan]


I’m sure that I’ve said this on many occasions before, but one of the reasons I love the mission that God has called me to is the chance to see young men give their lives to Christ, grow in their knowledge of the Lord, serve God day by day, and teach others to do the same! Proverbs 27:17 says, “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” I’ve discovered the deep truth of this Scripture as I’ve been meeting with some of the men I lead and disciple this year. I’ll just mention a few of these good men now. I met Geoff at the beginning of this year as a result of our campus outreach. I met up with him at a café on campus. He told me he was interested to find out more about God because some of his family and friends back home had started going to church. I obviously used this opportunity to share the Gospel with him. Right there in the café, he put his faith in Christ! He is now coming to one of our Bible studies on campus and learning heaps! Adam Li came to faith last year with a teammate of mine. He decided to be baptized this year and continues to grow in his faith. Cody and Will have been around our movement for 3 years now and are leading other men in Bible studies on campus. It’s so cool to see them sharing their faith and teaching others about God. I also met Jonathan as a result of our campus outreach. Already a Christian, he was really excited to find Studentlife and really desires to grow in his walk with Christ while at university. I praise God for these men!
