We are 3 days into the semester! On Sunday at UAlbany, the university put on a Freshman Block Party for new students with a bunch of different organizations lined up around the Indian Quad (freshman dorms). We (Real Life at UAlbany) had one of those tables. 5 of our students passed out water bottles and freeze pops and asked students to take a really quick questionnaire. The three questions were:
1. Have you come to understand and know your purpose in life?
2. Do you think its possible to have a relationship with God?
3. Would you like to know how these two go together?
They provided their contact information at the bottom. If they answered yes (54% of the surveys filled out) to the third question, we contacted them to set up a time to meet with them and have a spiritual discussion.
The past two nights, a new freshman (named Dan) and I (Joe) have been visiting students at their room. So far, no one has had the time to sit down with us. However, many are interested. Dan and I are scheduled two meet up with two guys on Tuesday night at the student center. Would you please pray for this conversation? Pray that both guys would show up, that their hearts would be open and that we would communicate clearly and listen well.
It has been a great start to the semester throughout the region!
