Praying for Ryma

Mark recently responded to a request for Bible studies from Ryma.  He went to the address and found the house surrounded by a fence with a sign on the gate saying Do Not Enter.  Dogs were barking inside the house, including a pit bull who did not seem happy to see him.  He decided to leave but returned the next week to find a woman in the yard.  He asked her if she knew Ryma, and she said yes, that Ryma was in the house, and she went to get her.   When Mark offered to study with her, she noted that it was not a good place to study due to the presence of dogs indoors and mosquitoes outdoors.  He suggested that they could meet at the nearby library park.  He texted her on InterestTracker, setting up a meeting for the following Sabbath.  She, being from the Philippines, knows about Adventists.  Coincidentally, Mark’s pastor’s wife is from the Philippines, and so is the choir director at the church.  Please pray for Ryma and Mark as he studi...

Campus Evangelism.

During the Week of Prayer at the Southern Adventist university , students were invited to make a personal public commitment to their faith, and by the grace of God, 56 students made the following decisions:      Baptism requests:  4  Bible study requests:  22  Recommitment to Jesus:  29  Volunteer for Mission:  19  I have questions:  7  Prayer Requests:  37    Our office partnered with one of the Collegiate Pastors to follow up with the students who made these commitments. I’m delighted to share that two of the students were baptized during the Merge Worship Service in December at the Collegedale Church. I’ve attached pictures from the service. ------------- Joseph Khabbaz, M.Div. VP for Spiritual Life and Chaplain
