Friends and Family!

We are so excited to share about the fantastic week we

had welcoming thousands of students to campus. The past few weeks have
been non-stop activities as we have taken every opportunity to connect with
students and give them a chance to hear the gospel. Thank you so much for
all your support and prayers! You are making so much of this possible!

Through the many events we have put on, we have
met so many new friends and have never seen so
many freshmen get plugged in so quickly! On move-
in day, we have the honor of working alongside the
university, helping students move in! Its an
awesome way for us to serve the school and meet
new students. The next few days we put on as many
events as we could: Ultimate Frisbee in the dark, a
beach Bonfire, a House Party, an outdoor service,
and Labor Day games by the dorms. We met so
many students! One student told us that this was
SERVING THE UNIVERSITY

the best way to start college! All through this time we
let them know who we were and invited them to come
check our services out. Our first Wednesday night
prayer and worship night was packed! Many came for a
free meal and got to experience an awesome Word from
Catherine and a wonderful time of worship. Last
Sunday, we launched our small groups and so many had
an awesome first week!

We cannot wait for the coming weeks as we continue to
meet students and let people know Jesus truly loves
them and they have a place to belong.

I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for
whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ, and
may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which
is through faith in Christ.
Philippians 3.8-9
PLEASE PRAY WITH US
1
Pray that the new students we connected with
continue to come, get plugged in and experience
God.

Pray for our upcoming Fall Retreat, Oct 3-5. Pray
many come and experience life-change through
Jesus.

Pray for more students to continue to find us. So
many students have already engaged in the party life
2
and many dont know Jesus. We want to build a
bridge to them this year.

Pray for the other campus ministries on campus, that
they too may continue to make an impact in students
lives.

That God meets us right where we are, daily.

That God provides our full budget.
(Above): We love to chalk the campus
and advertise who we are and where we
are. (Top Right): Several Leaders before
our Sunday Service. (Right): Many new
students hanging out at a bonfire on the
beach, after playing Ultimate Frisbee in
the dark!

This fall we as a staff really want to come
alive in Christ and invite students in on the
life we have been given through Jesus.
Our slogan this year is: Discover God,
Join the Journey. We want to seek God
with our whole heart, worship Him, and
invite others to join in on this journey of
becoming like our Creator!
