Sharing the Love

One of the great things about working with Chi Alpha is the chance to get out and be with people that normally would not go to church. For what ever reason they will not come to us if we open our doors, so we take time and go to them.

Yesterday we took advantage of the nice weather and set up a table in the middle of campus to pray for people. During this time I took a young man with me who we have been working with to teach him about reaching out beyond the four walls. During the 2 hours that we sat there we had 10 significant conversations. Some were with people we already knew, but many were with new people. One of our prayers was that we would be able to pray with someone who was confused and we were able to do just that.

God opens doors when we pray. We need to remember the power of prayer. Things happen when we pray that don't happen when we don't pray. Pray!

An update: We have been praying for a friend of ours that works on campus who was told that she had cancer. We were able to pray with her, she had the operation but they could find no cancer!!! Even better, her relationship with God is deepening through all of this. Pray.
