Laborers



Before Christmas a group of sixteen students from Texas A&M joined us for ten days. They helped us make new Greek friends on campus. We introduced them to some of our friends at a party. We took prayer walks on campus, asking God to move mightily to draw students to Himself.

Their trip blessed us in incredible ways! We were so encouraged, as a team, to have them work alongside us. Their growing compassion for Greek students strengthened us and raised our hope for what the Lord will do here.

More than anything, they provided our most tangible need for laborers on campus. Our ministry depends on relationships with students. With only six of us working on campus full-time, our ability to connect with many students is limited. We loved the opportunity to make more friends!

These students will go back to College Station as our ambassadors. They'll lead the charge in praying for our ministry here. They'll tell other students about God's work with students in Greece. They're considering returning for a summer or a year to join us in direct ministry.

This is the time of year when students are making decisions about their summers and their next school years. Would you pray that the Lord would call many to join us to labor here-- both this summer and next year?
