Hey everyone,

Just wanted to ask for prayer. We’re in the process of planting a college church at a local university. The main pop. of the students are commuters w/ the large portion of them being unreached by any campus ministry. We’re located in the Bible belt, but the feeling toward “church” here by much of the students is hostility, but they’re open to talk about spiritual things.
We’re getting ready to (prayerfully) start the first Bible study ("seeker-friendly") and I’ll be meeting with some members from the sponsor church soon about being a part of the core group. God is really opening doors for this and to be honest, parts of it are as scary as heck! smile I’d really appreciate your prayers and I’ll try to keep you updated with what God is doing. Thank you very much!

Hey Noelle,

Welcome to the message board!

I’m praying for the church plant. I think it’s VERY exciting because college students really do fall through the cracks--and a lot fall away--once they’re out of their parents’ influence.  I’m wringing my hands and praying my heart out for a couple students I know who are getting into stuff that I wish they wouldn’t mess with and at school, God does not see very relevant to them.

Please keep us updated on how things go!

Hey, I haven’t updated, have I? Sorry about that. We’re just started up 3 home-churches (aka LifeGroups). Please pray for the students that are coming. If you’d like more info. you can go toPortico’s website. Thanks for all the prayers! Also, a praise! Vincent, a student from France, accepted Christ last week. He just told me today.
