After walking around campus and praying many times throughout the summer we have almost gotten used to the campus being bare. Tonight while Jeff and I were praying around the six pack (the six dorms he and I are focusing on this fall) there were students everywhere.
After praying for awhile Jeff mentioned the passage in Matthew 9 about sheep without a shepherd. Essentially the thousands of students in the dorms are sheep without a shepherd. They are all trying to fit in and impress those around them with the way they dress, talk, act, live, etc. All of these students are looking for something to follow. As Jesus said, without a shepherd, these sheep really are harassed and helpless. It stirs up compassion in us to watch them search, longing for someone to follow. Will you pray with us that they will decide to follow Christ?
