We have about 5 students at SDSU who are making some relationships in one of the dorms on campus and will be starting a study group looking at the life of Jesus. Who He is and what he's done.
Please pray that we would see a number of freshmen who would be a part of the group.

Transform
Recently on campus at SDSU, our students have done a great job of talking to their friends, classmates and even strangers about faith.
Trying to hear where people are at with eternity, the unknown, or with their particular spiritual journeys. I know our students have been scared, but they have stepped out with love and concern to meet people right where they are at.
I have been thinking of the word 'transform' lately. Seeing how the students involved in our spiritual community are being transformed as they help to see others transform. Trans...to move through, to change, across or beyond. And form...appearance, shape or condition.
Our community is shifting from being exclusionary to inclusionary. From being preoccupied with self and appearance, to being broken, humble and open.
People on campus are also being transformed as they see that not all 'Christians' are rigid, cold and hateful. We are seeing people take just one step closer to Christ, wherever they are.
They are being transformed or moving beyond where they have been stuck...to a new place. A new perspective. At times to new life.
I see that as my job these days. Helping nudge people towards Christ. If they say they are Christians, I help nudge them towards greater surrender. If they don't identify with Christ, I help nudge them in ways that they see Jesus a person who is loving, compelling and worth trusting with their lives.
Please pray for us as we pray for you...that we would all be transformed.
