big:bad:georgia:mission

From March 10-17 we'll be hosting a mission team from the Georgia Southern University Chi Alpha. We've got a very full week planned with all kinds of different outreach activities and events, culminating with a Ceilidh on Friday, 16 March. I just wanted to post the schedule so that you could all be praying for us throughout the week.

WE REALLY NEED YOUR PRAYERS

Seriously. The week will be starting off with a stint at Starbucks on Monday night. The band will play, we'll have some pub-quiz type games, hang out, make new friends, and drink a lot of coffee. But more than that, this event is kind of like a commercial for all the other events we'll be doing throughout the week, including an outreach Tuesday night (a music-themed Cafe) and the Ceilidh on Friday. We'd love to see lots of people come out, but sometimes it seems like the hardest part is just getting them to show up. Once they come, they have a good time, we build relationship, God is there - it's all sweet. But I know that God is also there when we're passing out invites, or hanging up posters on campus, or chatting with students after classes. So please pray that in everything we do this week that God would multiply our efforts, that He would go before us and be with us. We will work our hardest, but that isn't enough without His touch. We really are desperate for Him.
