The talk I gave went well. Thank you so much for your prayers. I was able to be calm and speak clearly. People seemed encouraged and several of the staff asked for my notes to use for the future. I enjoyed being able to share how God is working in the lives of people and how God can use the students to bring people to Him.
Our team has been doing a lot to get to know the culture of the city. Tomorrow we get to engage with some of the students on a campus in Brooklyn for the first time. International students studying at Polytech University will be joining us for a party. I was able to get in touch with "Jenny", the student I mentioned before who transfored to Polytech. She asked her supervisor to have the day off and will be coming to meet us and bringing her friends! Some of these students will be meeting their "international" buddy that they get to hang out with for the rest of the summer. Please pray that we will connect with them well.
All of the staff hit a wall yesterday and today. We are feeling tired after trying to keep up with the pace of NYC and the energy that come with project students arrival. Pray that we are able to spend time connecting with the Lord and being recharged by Him.
I know many things are going on in your families as well. Please let me know how I can be praying for you.
Blessings,
Abigail
