This is an invitation to pray, a call to pray, and a plea to pray…would you be willing to Pause & Pray every Thursday for Texas campuses, students, and BSM staff?
Focus HOPE Weekend: TAMU, Kingsville
Mike Cervantes, director at Texas A&M Kingsville recalls how God worked during this last weekends Focus HOPE project.
“This weekend was amazing! Our ministry project was planned for Saturday. We were prepared to have numerous spots to BBQ and share with the community of Palacios, Texas. However, Saturday morning it began to rain and never stopped. So, God changed our plans; instead of having people come to us, we went to them.
We decided to go door to door passing our hot dogs and sharing the message of Jesus. It was totally insane and wild. Before we knew it, we had kids praying through the neighborhoods and sharing the message of the Cross.
One student, Diana, a freshman, noticed that every home they went to had people that were critically ill in some way. Students quickly began to realize it was not a coincidence, but they were all divine appointments!”
Ways to Pray:
- Praise the LORD that students responded immediately when their plans were changed thus divine appointments were made!
- Pray that the Gospel being proclaimed all around Texas through Texas HOPE would take root.
- Pray for Focus HOPE weekends coming up in the weeks to follow – ask the Lord to give boldness, divine appointments, that HIS name would be proclaimed, and lives would be changed FOREVER.
- God is at Work:
- Pray for Bethany, to know the HOPE found in following Jesus Christ.
Ways to Pray for Margaret Myers:
- That Jerry and I would find a church that we love.
- God’s clear direction for the near future (change continues, regardless of age)
- That the influence I have on others will always be positive and Christ-like
- That I will find boldness to take steps to expand my territory of service/ministry
