The pursuit continues...

Dear Blog

This past week we had tables set up in various faculties sharing what Vida Estudiantil is as well as having the SOULarium set up. SOULarium is a set of 50 photos ranging from mountain ranges, homeless people, birds, kids playing, planes, old married couples etc.... Some dark pictures, some joyful, all of them intriguing. The point being its not just what you see, but how you interperet what you see. Using a series of questions from which people answer the question with the pictures, it opens the doors to deeper spiritual conversations. Twice this week I began a conversation with the SOULarium and it ended with someone accepting Christ!

As we are now back on campus full time and in succesive weeks momentum is gathering. We are seeing more of the students, having more follow up and seeing more students come out! Today at our weekly meeting there were 30 people...keep on praying for our goal of 40! We are almost there! It was exciting as probably 10 of the people out this week were new. Some invited by friends and others coming from contact through the table.

1 Corinthians 15:58 says Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain. I have again been thinking about how God pursues people and uses us in his pursuit. Of the two people I saw come to Christ this week, one had talked with two of my teamates before and the other I had known for a year. It encourages me to think that next year, the next STINT team will talk to someone who says "Well last year some Canadian guy shared with me..."

So until next time keep up the good work wherever you are.

PS Tomorrow the team and I head to El Salvador to flee the country as our visas expire. We will be back in action here on Tuesday.
