New guys

Yesterday we had over 40 students at our CineCenter lunch Bible Studies. They were divided into seven small groups of men and women, all studying the last part of Philippians chapter 1. It was great to see everyone thinking through what it would mean to put other people's needs ahead of our own!

I was with a group of three first year students from the Modern Language Department at the state university: Adalid, Jhon, and Emiterio. This Christian stuff is pretty new to them all. Last week Adalid prayed and received Christ and this week he told the other guys about it. Different needy folks often wander through asking for money and we shared a piece of pizza with a young deaf boy yesterday.

Today I went back to the food court for lunch alone. The lady who served me my lunch works at one of the small fast food places close to the tables where our students always gather. She took a look at me and asked, "What do you do with all of those students every week?" I guess we're pretty noticable. I got to share briefly with her how we study the Bible together.

Please keep praying for our pizza lunches!
