One Question

If you could ask God [ ONE QUESTION ] what would it be?
That's the outreach that we're doing on campus at La Trobe Bundoora this week. Bryant & I are in charge of this event. Boy has it been an up & down experience. God has definitely revealed to me that this event is according to His will & not my own. Some things that I have had in my mind regarding this event have been totally changed by God - but in a good way I've found! We were planning to have our event in a classroom but we didnt end up getting one. A challenge at first but then turned into a blessing. We changed the event to a more personal setting. Now we're having 3 different speakers from our team in a coffee shop on campus that will be having small conversations answering their question about God! It should be an intimate way to share the Gospel and really get to the heart of the people asking the questions. Little challenges have been coming up. And the rainy weather sure doesn't help! However this whole experience is reminding me of why I am here. Not to go sightseeing, not to hangout with friends but to spread the Gospel to the lost souls on this campus! As we were figuring out the most popular question & trying to answer it we actually found ourselves straying away from the Gospel and clinging to apologetics. Apologetics are definitely useful and amazing things to know but we had to bring it back to the heart and souls of the people we are talking to. We all talked and figured out how we are going about it but it's going to be a very Spirit filled conversation. The speakers are going to try and answer their most popular question and going to answer it with the Gospel!
So basically this event requires a lot of prayer. Please be in prayer for the speakers that they will be filled with God's words & not their own strength. Please be in prayer for our strength today as we fast for the One Question outreach. Please be in prayer for students to come!! This event could be very powerful but only by God's Spirit will it be done!

Please continue to be in prayer! I love you all!
