1st Day of Week 2 on Campus!

Guys thank you SO much for the prayers and the awesome msgs and emails! :) we were just talking about this today about how blessed project is because we have like 20 people here and each person has like at least 20 people praying for them on this project so its like we're super covered in prayer and God is doing great things on campuses :D thank you!!!

so we rounded up the stats for last week and we had 40 people come to Christ in total! thats just amazing even for me to imagine...the harvest is totally ripe here and it's cool coz the people here already have the foundation of going to church since they were young so they believe in God and everything, they're just lacking that personal relationship with Him and a little nudge for them to get serious in their faith. but its also really important to do follow ups with them and disciple them so that they will go out and share their faith with others as well and that's what we'll probably be focusing more on now onwards. we've been encouraging the Panamian students involved in Vida Estudiantil (Campus for Christ in Panama) to come sharing with us and translate for us coz a percentage of the students dont speak english and there's been a couple of students who are coming out for the first time and it's just great for us to work together!

one really cool example is Eduardo and the amazing thing about him is that he's only 13! he goes to this american education system school so he's having his summer vacation right now and last sunday, he actually came up to one of us and asked us if he could come along with us and help translate! so since last week he's been coming to campus with us everyday and sharing with us and he's a pretty good translator! today i shared with him and my friend darren and this guy accepted Christ! like when i look at him, i'm just so amazed because i definitely wasnt thinking about furthering God's kingdom when i was 13 but he's just so passionate about telling others about God! its like in 1Timothy 4:12 it says, "Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity." and i definitely give him props for all that!

this week our focus will also be on our outreach which is this Panamian version of icrave, during which each week for this month we'll be doing our weekly meetings based on a craving that people have and this week it's on relationships so please pray for that! we'll be talking about how each person craves for different things but ultimately our cravings and only be satisfied by God. we've set up a booth with solarium on it and just inviting people out to the meetings so please pray that this will stir up interests in the students and that they'll come out to it and that it'll just strike a chord in their heart!

thanks so much once again and till next time, adios! :)
