Discipleship Through Evangelism
A UW student named Jordan has spent his last few semesters on campus leading out in our discussion based outreach called DEEP DIVE. He has grown tremendously in his faith as he engaged in meaningful conversation with non-Christians. Naturally, he wanted to continue doing this, so he was hesitant when asked to take on the greater evangelism coordinator role. Jordan prayed about it, and took a step of faith taking on the bigger role this semester.
In doing so, he's been able to raise up other leaders who have also grown in their faith through DEEP DIVE like Christina. Christina was inspired and excited when she saw how normal and easy conversations can be. And at our booth telling the campus about DEEP DIVE, Joseph grew in boldness as he approached and chatted with students. Praise God for students willing to lead others to help students take their next step towards Jesus! Pray for students on campus to be open to Jesus as Saviour and Lord of their lives.
Sunday August 20, 2023
Every year churches across Canada take a Sunday to focus on lifting students up to God in prayer. Over 2 million students are shaping their futures in colleges and universities across the country every year. Will you pray with us that they will meet God in this critical crossroad of their lives? If you want to help your church pray for students on this day or another Sunday in August, let us know and we can send you resources to help make it easier.
