October is drawing to a close and we all know what that means… FALL Conference! Our region hosts an annual conference for all of our collegiate students in Arizona, Utah, Hawaii, and California. Normally, the student conference is held in February in our winter quarter, however this year we decided to move it to October. Having it this month is huge in building momentum for ministry at the beginning of the year, getting students serious and encouraged about walking wholeheartedly with Jesus in college.
This year’s theme for the conference is “VISION: Fix Your Eyes…” It is all about allowing God to create vision in our lives as followers of Him and living with a purpose. Tess and I personally are praying that this would be a time for all of our students to sacrifice the weekend to seek God and develop Vision for their life. Our hope is that as students become more excited about Jesus and the Gospel, wanting to live a life filled with vision, they would want to really grow and develop into devoted disciples of Christ. The goal is to come along side this spiritual growth and fervor with Joshua Team, our 8 week training time in the area of evangelism and discipleship, which will likely be happening next quarter.
As the student conference is coming up this weekend, will you pray with us for these things?
* We would see the majority of our students, if not all of them, come to our conference
* It would be a sweet time of corporate worship with hundreds of other students from across four states
* God would shape the lives and hearts of all attendees, impressing upon them a life of vision and purpose
* Our UCSD students would go deeper in relationship and community with each other
* Safety for the weekend as we drive an hour to and from the conference, and as students take place paintballing and other physical activities
* Against all spiritual warfare, as Satan wants to unravel any plans made and entrusted to the Lord
We are so excited about the potential growth for our students this weekend and how this weekend may be a turning point in their relationship with Jesus.
Thank you for your constant support and prayers for this ministry at UCSD. We are honored to stand with you and represent Christ to the next generation in San Diego. We couldn’t do it without you!
In Him,
Stephen & Tess
