Yesterday we had our first day with students on campus. We joined together to pray over the time we were going to be gathered as a team with students. Our team conducted surveys and we were able to connect with a smaller demographic of students the day before classes started. We asked people to fill out surveys that give us an idea of spiritual interest. Then they enter their surveys into a drawing. This year we are giving away ten $20 gift cards to Starbucks!
It was great to see students showing an interest in what we are doing on campus and of course they were interested in the coffee! But, what was so encouraging was realizing that God is already connecting hearts. Visually, I remember seeing 8 students crowding around our table, not just filling out surveys, but actively engaging with members of our team. What a difference from last year. The surveys were great conversation starters and really gave us a platform to get to know people better.
The rest of this week we are going to continue to conduct surveys and follow-up with students. It is exciting because God is definitely relevant and moving on this campus, but I ask you to pray for boldness during this time of follow-up and inviting people to be a part of bible discussions.

yey for a blog!!! I am excited to read about what is going on with your ministry. Keep on following up with those surveys. I remember when you and Brianne left a mote on my white board as a freshman. I was so excited that you wanted to meet me. Hope to talk to you soon! Alycia
Hey Erin,
I know I'm one of your favorite supporters, but naming the Cliff House after me was just, just... beyond the call of duty! I'm blushing!

Clip, now you're going to have to come out and see it. We have a gold star out front and everything. Seriously, this comment just made me laugh out loud. And Alycia, thank you for that reminder. What an encouragement to hear from you. It is so intimidating sometimes!
Love you both!
