Beth Roselius, our arts and evangelism coordinator with IV, came up with 2 new proxe stations. Before we can send them out as a working model they must be tested on a campus. Since Beth is here in WV we decided to test these new proxes at WVU.
Last week was a difficult test run for the 1st new proxe. People didn't really want to talk with us and Beth was in a particularly difficult conversation. We left tired and a little beat up.
Yesterday was the 2nd proxe's turn to be tested. It was a station about scars, physical, emotional, and scars we put on others and how they are connected spiritually. we set the booth up around 10:30am in Towers and by 11AM I found myself praying with a Jr. in Intelligence to receive Jesus for the first time. Not too long after Karla also had the privilege to lead a student to Christ!
All day was one conversation after another. People were willing to share their favorite scar stories, and most would talk with us further. Not only did we encounter these two now new believers, but all three of us had great pastoral conversations throughout the day. One student told Karla that he **Jessica (IV Frosh on left) in a conversation at the Proxe**
had prayed the day before that God would show him He still cared. Isn't it amazing how God works?!
We also had a freshman student in IV join us to try her hand for the first time at having spiritual conversations through a proxe. she got into a couple very good conversations, and she is ready to do more. She told me before we packed up that that she wants to do more of these next semester. It is so great to see our youngest members so excited to share Jesus with their peers.
Please Keep Mark and Brittany (new believers) in your prayers as they embark on a new journey in Christ.
