The Tabernacle Community

Hello Everyone,

Thanks for asking for an update. It is very encouraging to know how many are praying and burdened for this campus, these students and this outreach.

Overall I think it went pretty well. Many IV students had some very good conversations with those who answered "no" to the question, "Did Jesus rise from the dead?" One student Tim, talked with a brother from his fraternity for almost an hour about the evidence for the resurrection. Steve, a self-proclaimed atheist, agreed and came to Tim's Bible study this past Monday as they finish studying Luke. Keep praying for Steve that God would open his eyes to his need for Jesus. Pray also that God would reveal himself in the the few weeks left in the study and for Steve and Tim's continued relationship.

Another surprising trend we saw were the amount of "yes's". We soon began to include in our conversation with the "yes's", "How did you come to that conclusion?" We had a pamphlet that had several descriptions of where people might be including searching, having made a faith commitment, growing and finally, living missionally. Please be praying for this group of students that the truth of the resurrection would change them the way it changed the disciples and eventually the world.

Today, April 15th, we will be having the station again from noon to 4pm. Pray for us to have boldness, discernment and wisdom in speaking to other students. Pray also for humility as we share the truth of who Jesus is and what He did. Thanks again for praying and your continued prayers as we seek to share the facts about the resurrection and the hope that Jesus gives.

God's grace,
