Gathering Greeks at Winter Conference!

Over the next few posts, I'll attempt to do some catch-up on what has been going on in the past month or so.  One of the most exciting things is something that happened at Winter Conference in San Diego.  This was a time when nearly 800 college students from California, Arizona, Hawaii and Las Vegas gathered in between Christmas and New Years to worship, fellowship, serve, share their faith and learn more about our God through speakers, seminars and discussions. 

During this time, my friend Arijaan (who is on staff at Cal working with Greeks) and I were able to organize a gathering for any Greek students or students who were interested in Greek ministry on their campuses.  We were expecting a maximum of about 15-20 students, so we were SHOCKED when more and more students kept pouring in so that we ended up having almost 50 students in the room!  Each of the students were passionate about seeing Greeks on their campus get to experience a personal relationship with God, whether they are Greek themselves or not.  In fact, almost half of the students there were non-Greeks who saw a need on their campus for Greeks to hear the Gospel!  We got to cast some vision about hopes for the future with a possible Greek Conference in the Pacific Southwest in spring 2011 and also the possibility for Greek students to attend Greek Summit, a 2-week summer project in Breckenridge, CO that is focused on equipping Greek students in how to do ministry within their houses.

What evidence that there is a need!  Students are seeing it on all different campuses!  Let's keep the campuses in the Pacific Southwest in our prayers.  That God would raise up students to begin and lead Greek movements on the campuses and that these students would have the chance to hear the Gospel!
