* Please pray for student from Nepal to connect with believers and get plugged into Bible studies and churches. This had a Christian friend back home and he was interested in going to a church in the US some time.
*Over the summer we began an international potluck and Bible study every few weeks using the Alpha course, a video series which introduces Christianity. Please pray for the students who came, all of them were interested and would like to continue meeting. 
*We have an Amish friend, Verton, who does an excellent job sharing the gospel each year at the farm tour. Please pray that these outreach events would be well attended, that Verton would clearly layout the gospel, and that these events would be a venue to open up spiritual conversations and begin relationships. 

Prayer Requests for this Weekend:

- Saturday we help host an outreach event at Lake MacBride. Pray for the 125 students who will attend to form friendships with Christians. We are looking for students who are interested in studying the Bible with us throughout the semester. 

- Sunday is the kick off event for the Chinese fellowship. We expect more than a hundred people to attend this picnic. Pray for relationships to be formed and Eric to meet many who will hear him preach throughout the semester. 

- Prayer for the other staff in the Iowa Nebraska region that are launching and continuing ministries this week
