I wanted to highlight for you a number of ways that God is at work in the college and young adult ministry at Coram Deo. Callie and I love pouring ourselves into these students, and it has been a joy to see them grow in the Lord.
In early September we had a ‘Kickoff the Fall Party in the Park’ with pizza and games.
I had tabling events at Whitworth and Eastern Universities; great ways meet new students and invite them to the church!
Last week we had our Fall Retreat in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Many of our students were able to go, and it was a fun weekend of games, hikes, Bible study, and relational growth (and some pretty heated matches of foosball).
We have a wonderful group of young adults with a variety of backgrounds and personalities, who have a passion for Christ and his world.
This semester I have been leading our Thursday night Bible Study through relationships. The first studies focused on the fact that we are relational beings made in the image of God, that our relationship with God is our primary relationship, and how relationship with others is a result. The second half of the semester is focusing on marriage, sex, and dating. It has been a great study, with insightful discussion.
One of my favorite days is Friday, because every Friday Callie and I have lunch on campus at Whitworth. Several students join us for lunch, and we often stay well into the afternoon answering questions about Christianity, dating, family, and roommates. I love opening up my Bible and digging into the realities of God’s character and works with them.
Through Bible studies and one on one discipleship, we have seen many of these students mature in their faith, character, and hope in the Lord. Please continue to pray for these students; they are the future leaders of God’s church!
