Training Opportunities

Hey Everyone!

Thank you for praying. The first few days after the students arrive are filled with orientation, prayer, team building, and training for ministry. Today I have the privilege of training all 120 of the people here for project in how to have spiritual conversation and to equip them to share the gospel. I am so excited! I remember being a student and learning these things for the first time and it changed my relationship with God and with others as I developed a heart for telling them about Jesus and the ability to do so.

Please pray that they would connect with the heart of God as I share.

Another fun fact! This last week a large group of us have converged on New York to reach the needs of the city in many ways.

Here is a Breakdown of Numbers on Project

Students: 72
Staff: 52 (9 of these staff are mothers with dependent children)
Children:
Infants: 5
Toddlers: 2
Pre-schoolers: 4
School aged: 2
Pre-adolescent: 3
Teens: 6
________
22

Needless to say it is hard to eat out as a team! :) This group is split into 5 tracks, or individual projects. They are Epic (reaching Asian Americans in the city), Bridges (pursuing international students), Arts (reaching out to the artist and developing the staff and students in their ability to be good artists and good Christians), and Campus (starting movements of people who are hearing the gospel and sharing about him on the campuses in the city.

So much going on! I am excited to share more with you as God is at work.

Blessings,

Abigail
