Favor @ Starbucks

Just wanted to give you all a little update on how things are going so far this week with all the activities we have planned. The team from GSU arrived safely on Saturday afternoon (yay!) and we've already put them to work several times (double yay!). They've had lots of time to fellowship and bond with our students which has been really great.

We have our first big event tonight at Starbucks. The band will play 12-15 songs, we'll have a few pub quizzes (trivia games), hang out and make new friends, and drink lots of coffee of course :o) It's been really awesome seeing God's favor unfold the past couple weeks as we've been planning and preparing for each of these events. The manager at Starbucks is really keen on us coming in tonight. Sarah met with her last week to discuss the details of this event and explained to her what Radiate is. "Huh, that's really intersting...." she said, then went on to tell Sarah that Starbucks has been talking about doing an event like this called “After Hours” for quite some time and if this goes well, they'll book us again and continue doing this (we're their guinea pig of sorts). THEN she asked if they could take pictures of us tonight and use it in their promo material! What?! If all that isn't cool enough, she asked Sarah if we had prizes to give away for our pub quizzes tonight. When Sarah said no she donated a bunch of discontinued Starbucks mugs to use as prizes! Yeah, so cool.

Thanks for your prayers and please continue to send them our way!
