Preparing for Kansas

We had our first GO Trip meeting of the semester tonight, and we now know more of the specifics about our trip. As I told you before, we will be going to Fort Hays State, Kansas. We will be working alongside their BCM (which they call Christian Challenge). While there, they want us to help them in reaching their campus. Tonight we had a brainstorming session on different ways that we could reach out to the students at Fort Hays State.

For 3 days, we will do various acts of service on campus. What this will consist of we do not know yet know. But in some way we are going to reach out to the students on campus, showing them the love of Christ through small acts of kindness. And we will also be introducing them to the BCM, a place where they can learn more about Christ and a place where they can get involved.

On one day we are going to serve the Christian students associated with the BCM. We plan on doing some type of service project at the house where they meet or the church where they meet. We are also going to assist them in their Tuesday night worship session for the week.

There will probably be a few more things that we will be involved with during the week, one of which is connecting with the students, making relationships. We want to encourage them to continue to work hard on their campus, and in many ways they will probably encourage us as well.

Pray for the students we will be ministering to while we are in Kansas. Ask God to open their hearts even now. Pray for our team that we will work hard as we prepare for this trip. Pray that our hearts will be focused on them over these next few weeks. Pray that God will show up during our week at Fort Hays State. To Him be all the glory.
