So it's pretty late, but I really wanted to share this with those of you that are keeping up with me through my blog. We had our first Thursday Night Worship (TNW) tonight at 8pm. After talking with many students over the week, we had nearly 40 students (not counting 4 staff members) at TNW tonight. We had a great time of worship and our campus pastor shared with us, beginning a theme for this semester, "Love God, Love People". He shared from Mark 2:1-12 and talked about the three types of people he saw in the story. At the end, Gil shared his testimony and how he came to know and accept Christ as his Savior during his freshman year at Longwood. He also prayed and with everyone's heads bowed and eyes closed, he asked if there was anyone in the room that wanted to accept Christ. We had one student raise her hand and accept Christ. I knew by listening to Gil's reaction there was a student there who raised his/her hand and later, as some of the students were helping us unload the equipment, Gil told me who the student was. I believe she's a freshman and this was her first night at Chi Alpha's TNW. I find this so amazing: that God is definatly working on this campus and through our students and staff.
Thank you guys so much for your support and prayers. Please continue to pray for our campus and students as we continue to reach out to them this year.
