To have a first person view of being a teenager in the middle of the mission field we're trying to reach we've included some reports from students we've received. Some students are absolutely thriving, and others need some encouragement! You can see a first hand glimpse at the victories and the struggles of doing this Jesus thing for real!
"this month, a girl in my french class would always look upset... and me being a guy, was kind of uncomfortable talking to her. while this was happening our choir class was selling chocolate and everyday i would buy one of my own bars and would eat it during french. and one day while i was eating it, i just felt led to give her a piece of chocolate, so i did. i did it for three days. not even a week later i got a message over facebook saying thank you. she explained she has been having the toughest time, and it really ment a lot to her. i realized how easy it is to go out of our own ways and make someone's day, and when we start doing that we can make impacts on their lives. even if it is as somthing as small as a piece of chocolate, it means somthing to someone... even if we dont have much God has given us things to bless other people with, and my eyes have been opened. i need to start living it more, praying more, giving, living, and tell! its time to take a stand... who knows whose life you can impact with a simple thing as chocolate. PTL!"
"Yay!! I finally have my cm profile back! This month I think was a time for me to learn. See You at the Pole and Pike Central was for the first time in a good long time not so great. I think the biggest problem was that we didn't prepare like we should have. However, mistake made, and lesson learned. The mistake we made inspired our FCA though, and we are now planning a youth rally for our school in the spring. :)"
"well.. first i will start off with informing you that my friend that was in an accident is now back to school, healed, and doing well. PRAISE THE LORD!! And now for my six period class. the sophomore that sits behind me and i got into a convo one day. i jokingly asked if he knew where liars went. he replied "yeah, i happen to have a hotel there." "well, wouldn't you much rather have a mansion in heaven? " "if i even make it" then a few days later, him, myself, and Wade got on the subject of good and bad. i told them i believed they were good kids that made bad choices and that they could do good if they wanted. they said they'd been on both sides and it was just more fun to do the bad things. i then looked at weston and asked if he still went to to church.. kinda knowing he didn't. he just looked at me. i said "you dont do you?" and he asked how i know that cause i'd only known him a few weeks. i said idk.. God. then about a week later, i passed him a note that was written as if it was Jesus wrote. it quoted bible verses and gave the message that no matter what he did, God ALWAYS forgave me, ALWAYS loved him, and would never forget him because he always thought about him. he later thanked me. seeds are being planted but i want more!!!! :)"
There ya have it folk! The ups and downs of being a Campus Missionary! I love these kids and love how they're rocking out for Jesus!
