Pray for us
In two hours, Malisa and I will be hopping on a plane to take this group of students to Panama City Beach, Florida. They'll spend the week learning how to join others on their spiritual journeys and point them toward Jesus. Many of them are students you've been praying for this year-some who just began relationships with Jesus themselves.

Laura's re-surrendered heart
As Laura laughs, everyone around her laughs. As Laura smiles, girls are drawn to her tender heart and strong personality. When Laura enters the room, life, joy, and peace seem to flow out of her. I would call that a surrendered heart. I would say that she is spilling out the heart of Jesus onto others. Laura is a remarkable student I get to mentor who has decided to let Jesus be the center of her life. It hasn't always been that way.

Ethan explains the gospel
On Tuesday afternoons, I meet with Ethan, Dan, and Jeremiah, 3 freshmen from BU for training. As I was starting to meet with these guys, I asked them, "When you think about your spiritual journey, what are some next steps you'd like to take this year?" Dan captured what they all were thinking clearly. He said, "I'd like to know how to explain the basics of Christianity to someone without freaking them out."

Jocette comes to know the Truth
"Jocette is a beautiful freshman girl who grew up in Colorado and loves being in Boston. In high school, she took a comparative religion class that raised big questions, doubts, and fears. She started to ask, "Is there a God?" "Is Jesus the only way to know God?" "What about all the other religions in the world?" "Which one is really full of truth?"

Karen the Little Inviter
I called Karen, a freshman at Emmanuel College, in early September to see if she wanted to get together for coffee. Emmanuel is a small private school right next to Fenway Park that I have been praying for an open door so the Gospel can go out on campus. As the school year began I didn't know any believing students on the campus.

Nestor the Wrestler's New Walk with Jesus
"I've got him beat by a hundred pounds, but I still think he could take me." That's what I was thinking when I first met Nestor, a freshman wrestler from Boston University. But he's not that tough - I mean, sure, he's got a record of 130-35, but I'm a really big guy. Yikes - let's hope we don't have to test it out.

Glow in the Dark
I can't convey noise in a picture or with these words, but I want you to imagine this scene: you're in the middle of a football stadium. 5,000 freshmen are jostling for position as they look at all the different activities they can get involved with. And the noise. Oh the noise. The college radio station has huge speakers blaring to the right. To the left, the school marching band is performing. Chaos? How about cacophony!

Postcard from Boston
I am reminded that there are around 50,000 students who will be coming to Boston for the first time as college freshman just like Allauki did last fall. Would you join us in praying not only that Allauki would respond to the Gospel but also that the hearts of the incoming freshman would be soft towards the message of Jesus. We are so blessed to have you partnering with us in ministry in Boston. We are overwhelmed by your prayers and partnership. We wouldn't be able to do what we do with out partners like you. Thank You so much!

Join us on a Prayer Walk
We walk and pray on the campuses that we're working on as a way of trusting the Lord. Boston University is the largest school in the City. The campus stretches 2 miles and sits in the heart of the city of Boston. BU is home to the national champon Hockey team, thousnads of internationl students, 23 libraries, and one of the hightest tuitions in America: $49,000. As we walked through the campus, we prayed that this fall we would meet freshmen who would one day help change the world as Martin Luther King Jr, class of 1955 once did. Below are a few highlights from our prayer walk. Woud you join us in pryaing for BU's 32,000 students?

Will you be a fisher of men?
Last week we were with 12 of our top students in the city of Boston. Tuesday morning started with Brian and me talking with the students about reaching their specific campus for Christ: Harvard, MIT, Boston University, Wentworth, and Bentley. We were asking the students to consider being fishers of men next fall on campus. As I finished talking about Jesus calling all of us to be fishers of men, which would mean they were living on campus with the purpose of sharing the Gospel and mentoring others, I looked up and asked, "Would you join with me in being fishers of men?"

It's Amazing How God Shows Up
We're excited Jenna from Bentley is flying back to Boston next week for "The Summit," where she'll spend a week with us on an intensive summer mission project learning to share the gospel and growing in her relationship with Jesus. Jenna is from Hawaii, so it's a pretty big deal to fly back for a week of the summer. Over the course of several weeks Jenna saw God move in some pretty incredible ways to work it out for her to be part of "The Summit". As Malisa was meeting with her she asked if Jenna would write down what God had done as a way to encourage others students who were wrestling with where God was leading in their lives.
