Friendship, Fun, Food and Faith

when is the next one?

Wednesday June 2^nd was a very dramatic day for me. I had challenged my small discipleship group of 1^st years to organize an evangelistic event. Moffat, Lenny and Emmanuel knew that majority of the students love food and fun. Therefore we needed to get any excuse to celebrate and in this invite other freshmen. After a little brainstorming a birthday looked like a good idea. However the challenge was that none of us had a birthday in the near dates. After a day Emmanuel approached another 1^st yr friend (Murage) whose birthday had passed in April 28^th

Emmanuel requested him to allow us to use his name as an excuse to celebrate on June 2^nd which he gladly accepted. 

Robert Sharing

Robert my colleague then shared on the 6Ps of Success;

Purpose, Passion, Persistence, People, Planning, Prayer,

“…all of us know that at times we need resources from outside of ourselves. That is where successful people turn to God whose resources are never scarce… But how can you call on Him whom you have no relationship with?”

This is where he explained how someone can start a relationship with God by asking Jesus to come in his life. He then led us in prayer and those who wanted to, prayed to receive Jesus silently. Afterwards we gave comment slips where they were to write a birthday wish for the birthday boy. In addition they were to indicate if ,

a. I have asked Jesus to come into my life right now

b. I want to know more on how to start my relationship with God

c. I am already born again

3 had prayed to receive Jesus Christ right then, 5 wanted to know more on how to begin this relationship, 12 were already saved, and 9 had left it blank.

These young men have started following them up, teaching them the same things which we have been learning together. 2 Tim 2:2.

 As a group:

We grew in Purpose. Moffat asked me, “isn’t this strategic?”

Developed in Leadership as each one handled a certain role and ensured it succeeded.

We grew closer as Friends.

Thank you again for standing with me in prayer and generous giving without which our ministry to campus students would have been severely limited.
