HANDS HEADLINES

In our February edition of Hands Headlines (E-Letter), we told you about Student 2 Student – a strategy in which students involved in Campus Crusade commit to be intentional about praying for friends who don’t know Christ and sharing the gospel with them.

Our students around the country have been praying for the Lord to bring 50,000 of their peers to Christ through this strategy. This is quite a goal of faith! Yet, it has been fun to see reports of how the Lord has been using it. Very recently we received word that a milestone has been reached: 100 students have now trusted Christ!

We’ve posted a downloadable pdf file (you’ll need Adobe Acrobat Reader (free software) to view this file) with the stories of the first 25 people who have come to Christ. You’ve got to read these stories. But don’t just read them – praise God together with us for what He is doing. And we can expect God to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine (Eph 3:20)!

So let’s begin asking for 200!

And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved. [Acts 2:47]

Please continue to lift us up over the next few weeks and months. There’s no doubt we need it!

There are a few specific requests below, but we always enjoy praying through Scripture, so we’ve given you a few passages you can pray for us. We always know we pray according to God’s will when we pray His Word!

Thanks!

I pray that David & Shannon will delight themselves in You, Lord, knowing that You will give
them the desires of their heart.
–Psalm 37:4

O Lord, remind David & Shannon continually that You alone are their strength, and that it is
You who allows them to accomplish any high and lofty goals.
–Habakkuk 3:19

O Lord, grant that David & Shannon remember often Your deep and abiding love for them,
knowing that they will ultimately be victorious spiritually because You died for them.
–Romans 8:37

Lord, I ask You to help David & Shannon to confess their sins before You, remembering that
You are faithful and just and will cleanse them from sin and forgive them for all
unrighteousness.
–I John 1:9

O God, let David & Shannon always be confident in approaching You, remembering that You
hear their prayers when they ask in accord with Your will. May they always pray this way,
with confidence.
— I John 5:14-15

• As always, pray for our time alone with the Lord. We yearn for and are challenged to find extended quiet time.
• Pray for Shannon as she homeschools Avery while caring for Addison and Toby, too.
• Ask God to support us with encouraging relationships and that He would use us to reach our neighbors.
• Pray for David as he responds to emails from www.EveryStudent.com It’s obvious that many of the students who submit a question to the site have very limited knowledge of the gospel or have been misinformed. There seems to be a real openess with many of them.
