The Face of Student Ministry

This month we wanted to focus a bit more on some of the students that we meet up with 1-to-1. To that end, we got them to write a little bit about themselves and what we have been doing together. Also included are some ways that you can pray for them under PRAYER and a re-vamped FINANCES page.

This year I have been reading through the book “Humility: True Greatness” by C.J. Mahaney with Matt. This has helped to change my understanding of what greatness is and reminded me of how great God is.

Kyra, 1st year Exercise Science writes:

This session Steph and I have been looking at Judges and also Titus. I have been challenged to look to older women for guidance on everyday life, also to continue to look back to the Bible to truly understand how God wants me to do things and fulfil His will. hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh  hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Dan, 2nd Year Electrical Engineering writes:

Matt and I have been reading 2 Corinthians. As we’ve read 2 Corinthians I’ve been challenged to keep my mind on the important things in life. During the difficulties of life the words of 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 have been a timely reminder. I’ve also been encouraged to share the gospel with others. God has chosen to use us to share the gospel with other people – what an enormous privilege that is!

“We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.” 2 Corinthians 5:20. See also 2 Corinthians 2:14-15 and 2 Corinthians 4:7.

Karina, 3rd Year Creative Writing writes:

This session I’ve been meeting up with Steph and Amy to work through a booklet called ‘The Blueprint’. This booklet contains short studies looking at the doctrine of Christ. It has been really useful to me as it has helped to clarify the important truths of the Bible, and has revealed to me how sometimes people can just be so wrong in their understanding of God and His teachings when they make it fit their beliefs, instead of conforming their beliefs to what God says. I have been challenged to continually ensure I do not do this, but am allowing myself to be transformed by the Spirit for God’s purposes.

Amy,  3rd Year Creative Writing/Media & Cultural Studies writes:

This session Steph, Karina and I have been going through studies based around the AFES doctrinal statements- which I’ve personally found incredibly helpful. I’ve found it particularly helpful looking at redemption and the importance of Jesus’ death (and what can happen when you don’t cling to this truth).

Sam, 3rd Year Mechanical Engineering writes:

Doing 3 subjects gives me a fair bit of time for bible studies and the like, which is why I meet up with Matt every Tuesday, to read the bible and pray. We have also been looking at ‘Disciplines of a Godly Man’ by Kent Hughes. From this, I have been particularly considering the chapter on integrity, and how I should be fighting to keep mine in a society that does not really expect it from you. hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Naomi, 2nd Year Nursing writes:

Steph and I have been reading through the book of Galatians. I have been challenged to remember the power of the gospel. Not to treat it like a ‘story’ that I have heard so many times. Something else I have been challenged with and reminded of each week, is that my relationship with Christ is based on faith. This response is further attested to by trusting in God. Not depending on myself. I often forget to commit the hard (and good) times to the Lord, for His help.
