God Walks the Hallways

Genesis 3:8-9 says "the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord among the trees of the garden. But the LORD God called to the man, "Where are you?" And this is what I feel is happening on the campuses of Newark, NJ. Students have entered on the campus from all walks of life and experiences. Some are walking on faster paces, some on slower paces. But, God is asking all "where are you?". The student leaders and I have a sense that God is walking, looking for his creation and beckoning them to receive his love.















IVCF NJIT Students engaging freshmen.



As we've been meeting with freshman this week, we have found many who are in need of authentic Christian community, in need of the Truth of Jesus and in need of love and emotional support. And as we invite them to come to and participate they are not hestitating. Jesus is drawing people to be transformed, the renew the campus and to change the world. Praise be to God!

Please keep us in prayer as we continue to meet more and more freshman, but also work in teams to personally spend time with each one of them. Even today, as we met with freshmen one young woman asked "Can I invite some of my friends to come too? I know they'd be interested in this." And of course, we welcome them with God's loves.
