Prayer Requests
*Eric will preach every other week this summer through Ecclesiastes for the Chinese fellowship (God willing). Students are seeing the vanity of life under the curse (under the sun) and how ultimate satisfaction in all areas of life are found in Christ who breaks the curse and gives the promise of eternal life where all is not in vain. Eric will also meet with some Chinese young men for discipleship: pray for Evan, Zech, Jaynou, and Isaac in particular.
*Pray for Kaiqi and his wife, Osei, and Binit - all unbelieving students who have been very open and are meeting with us to explore the claims of Christ.
*Pray for international college students who Eric is discipling to grow in every grace.
*Pray for the potluck and Bible discussion that we will host in our home throughout the summer. That we would have a consistent group who is interested not only in food but in finding life in Christ.
*Pray for wisdom as Eric guides staff in the region. Our staff are ministering to hundreds of international students through various Bible studies, discipleship meetings, and outreach opportunities. I think many are seeing a fresh openness to the gospel among students that we haven't seen in years.
*We completed our first year of Coram Deo this year with 16 students. We are considering adding a five day per week school option and have been meeting with an accreditation agency to assess next steps. Please pray for wisdom and that this might serve well the international and American churches.
