Beginning of Semester Update!

Team,

As we have just finished the first four weeks of the semester, we have much to fill you in on!

First, we have been meeting regularly on Sunday nights with our students for prayer, and we have been greatly encouraged by the commitment of our students to meet with us weekly to pray for the lost on our campus.  It has been refreshing for us to hear different stories about God providing open doors for some of these new believers to share the Gospel; Kyle and I have enjoyed this time as we have seen new believers come faithfully.

Kyle has been holding a bible study every week for some men who have professed Christ last semester, along with a couple of guys who were believers when they came to college.  It has been awesome to see these guys grow.  Christian is growing, Joel has been sharing his testimony with many people,  and Ethan, Tucker, and David all being faithful to the study.  The guys seem to be enjoying it as well as benefiting from it for their own personal growth in their relationship with God.

Finally, we have an exciting opportunity coming up this weekend.  Donald Whitney, who wrote Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life, is coming up to Terre Haute to speak to our students, along with some students from the University of Southern Indiana, on developing spiritual disciplines to deepen our intimacy with Christ. We are calling this the "First Love Retreat", which is fitting since it's Valentine's Day Weekend!  We are excited for this opportunity, so please pray with us that it will help the Body of Christ at ISU to grow in our walks with the Lord.  

Please pray for Marci; she seems close to putting her trust in Christ.  Pray with us that God would draw her to Himself.

With Love,
Kyle and Tiffany
