Anytime we are on campus, we send a message in a large group chat of students we’ve met to let them know we’d love to hang out. One one girl has consistently met up with us. This week, we spent a total of about 4 hours sitting & talking with her. Her main desire is to practice English, and she always changes the subject when it comes to spiritual matters. Still, we have gotten to share the gospel with her two times and go through the creation story as a way for her to learn more English.
Pray for stories we've shared with this student to continue to draw her toward Christ.
One afternoon, we were feeling like our conversations with students weren’t really going anywhere. We prayed and asked God to give us courage and wisdom for who to talk to. For the rest of the day, several groups of students came up to us and were so enthusiastic about getting to know us! It was so natural, and one group even invited us to go to a market with them that evening, which we did and it was such a sweet time!
One night for dinner, we were also able to meet up with two girls. They spoke little to no English but are eager to have American friends. The Lord provided exactly what we needed at just the right time. We are looking forward to continuing these friendships for the next month.
Pray for opportunities to continue developing these relationships & have English (Gospel!) conversations.
