Hello Everyone!
Thank you all so much for your many prayers this school year. There have been many prayers answered this month. I will share two answered prayers! One of my prayers before Easter, was that the cross and resurrection would be real to my girls. Thank you for praying for our Brother Dgroup. One of our Brothers was baptized this month.
Clifton’s Testimony
“I was baptized on April 5, surrounded by people who helped show me the greatness of God. My journey to that day included events like the death of my aunt, a trip to Weis, Germany, attending the SALT conference and the Come Together Retreat. God has shown me throughout the journey that His plan is perfect. In just this past semester my parents moved to Texas and I suffered 2 injuries that caused me to stop running, the activity I love doing the most. While I miss my parents since their move, God has used both of these things to take my reliance off of other things and more on God. My faith grew because I spent time with God. He showed me so many special things through my reliance on him. He also surrounded me with other believers like my roommate Sam, and my Chi Alpha peers Alyssa, Nick, Levi, Ken and so many more that I have listed in the pictures. God has used these friendships to grow my faith. These people feel like family to me. THANK YOU LORD for never giving up on me. Thank you for being my savior and best friend. Thank you for forgiving me everyday and loving me unconditionally. I love you and I know now that you have always loved me. I look forward to continuing this journey with you, God.“
Aimee’s Testimony of Easter
“On Tuesday, during Holy Week we were praying during preservice prayer, Alyssa, prayed that the cross would be revealed to students in away they had never seen it. I thought nothing of this prayer as I was raised in church and I knew what the cross meant. Or so I thought. During worship my gaze kept going to the cross behind the worship team and I began to think of what the cross meant. I have never thought about it in the gravity and weight it holds. As I worshiped images of the suffering Jesus faced began to cross my mind and the thoughts Mary must have had when watching here son die. It all fell on me at once, that an innocent man, brother, and son had died such a painful and gruesome death so I didn’t have to. By the end of worship and service I didn’t look at the cross as the thing I devoted my childhood to as a pastor’s kid, but the Lord redeemed it. Now I look at the cross and I see the pain and suffering that happened so I can have hope and a future.”
We have only a couple more weeks to the school year. We are excited to see what God will do in these final weeks and the summer to come. Our Summer missions trips are filling up and our New Mexico Team is so excited! I’m needing to raise $2,000 for our summer mission trips this summer.
Thank you so much for helping to reach these college students. I’m so very grateful for each of you!
Until next month,
Alyssa
