"I've been looking for you all day!"
"I've been looking for you all day!" This was a quote from a student who looked like the least possible interested one on campus -- headphones on, hoodie on, and walking fast. But it didn't start this way.
After an hour of outreach at St. Peters University, they hadn't met anyone. No one came up to the table. No one signed up for more information. The student leaders were discouraged.
I believe it was in this space (that so often happens) that we see your prayers answered! When you pray for courage, persistence and creativity, Jesus answers it in fun ways!
Then Anna, a campus missionary, stepped in with a silly game (it was also very strategic!) - throw a ping pong ball into a cup for a cookie. The momentum shifted. People started coming by, and more, and more.
Over the next hour they met 65 students, including the student who was looking for Christian fellowship. The chapter president became excited about reaching new students, "We NEED to do outreach."
Your partnership is reaching new students. Your prayers are being answered as Christians looking for community find us. Thank you!
