Peace be with you. We pray that you are walking with God, that you are healthy spiritually and physically, and that you experience great fruit this year.
“Freedom!” was the theme at Bridges International Winter Conference. We brought in the new year in Baltimore with about 1,000 foreign students from Asia, the Middle East, India, and Africa who all attended the winter conference. Many of these students come from countries where they can’t hear the Gospel freely. Our campus staff and believing foreign students brought the non-believing students with them to the conference. Amazingly, this year half of the attendees were non-believers! We had specific track meetings for everyone depending on their nation and/or belief status so that we could most effectively and strategically build into each student.
We met one student during the conference who had shared the gospel with his friend one week before the winter conference. His friend put his faith in Jesus and came to the conference with his friend to continue growing in his faith. Another student we met, who is leaving the States headed back to her home country this month, brought her non-believing friend to the conference. She asked us to pray for her friend.
Please pray with us that all the students who attended the winter conference get connected with Cru movements and/or churches that help them grow in their faith and walks with Christ.
1. STINT Midyear Conference (Jan 23rd ~ 30th): We served the short term missionaries who are serving in Africa, Europe, and the Middle East for 1~2 years. About 300 short term missionaries attended this conference. Pray that God used the time to refresh them spiritually and physically as they head back to the field.
2. Winter New Staff Training (January~ February): About 100 new missionaries are being trained to be sent all over the world right now. Our team is running this training. Pray that God prepares them well as full-time missionaries through the training.
