• Start of Jesus Week

  Tonight, Jesus Week started .

  For those that don't know, it's a week at my campus where Christians come together to make known the presence of God on campus. By doing so, we want to share the amazing love of Christ through our words, our actions, and our prayers. Plus, it's also for Christians. A lot of us here are too focused on school and the future, money and time, and our desires and dreams, that we often forget the sole reason that we're here - God. We hope to remind Christians that our life is about Christ. We don't want it to be just a week of Christ-centered loving, we want it to be the start of a life-long love.

  Tonight's opening Campus-wide prayer was amazing. We were all excited because tonight, we were finally going to see the start of God's work for Jesus Week. There were only a few of us, but the prayer was real and sincere. I missed that . Oftentimes, I feel like fellowships and churches can seem institutionalized and directed to fit our needs. We aim to end meetings at exactly Xpm or repeat the same prayers every week that it has become merely a jumble of words that have been engraved in our brains. We sometimes lose focus and everything becomes routine. We don't realize why we're here, why we have fellowship, why the fellowship is connected to the church, and what God has called us to do.

  But tonight, with the small group of really passionate people, I saw and felt the sincerity. We really want this God . Start with us first and work throughout our campus. Help us all to love you and love strangers. Let our hands and eyes be your hands and eyes. That is my prayer.

  Please pray for Jesus week and the upcoming 24/7 Prayer tent. It's going to be an amazing two weeks.
