You know it is God at work when you walk into the athletic department at UAlbany one day and leave with 4 appointments set up for the same day the following week (tomorrow). As you know, we have been praying for God to open doors in this specific part of campus. Its very clear He has been doing this for a while. Jen and I are praying that I will have a chance to speak with each team and invite them to be a part of Athletes in Action (the athletic ministry of the larger UA campus ministry, Real Life/Cru).
So, what is happening tomorrow? To start off the day, I'll have an appointment with the Athletic Director. I'll have the chance to introduce myself, let him know why we are there and ask how we can specifically serve the athletic department. Following that, I'll have a meeting with two head coaches (track and field hockey) before I head to the basketball court around 2:30. For a while now, we have had a great relationship with the women's basketball team. God has done great things through this team and coaching staff. The head coach will introduce me to the men's basketball head coach. I am hoping to set up a time to meet with him. After this, I will get a chance to talk with the entire women's basketball team again and invite them to be a part of the larger athletic movement.
So, needless to say, tomorrow is a big day. This is so exciting! Please pray. Pray that God would open some new doors, great relationships would start/continue/build and steps would be taken to give every athlete an opportunity to know Jesus and have their life changed for eternity!
