Praise God!! This year I was able to attend and have a role in ICSV Secondary Spiritual Emphasis Week. This past week has been an awesome outpouring of God's grace and love towards the staff and students of ICSV. Testimonies by our remarkable staff of God's miracles, guidance, kindness, redemption, and faithfulness were used to move at least 4 students to accept Christ as Savior and Lord, dozens to repent and commit to a closer walk with Him, and many others to begin asking who Jesus and God really are and what He wants with them!!
Please pray for these new believers in Christ! One student came from a Muslim background and now faces hardship and persecution as a result of accepting Jesus. Others are coming from difficult situations or from an intellectual disbelief into the real and loving arms of Christ. Pray that we can help disciple these students well, and give them the scriptural foundations they need to withstand the Evil One's attacks. The last few weeks have been increasingly difficult in the realm of spiritual warfare. Pray for protection around the entire family of ICSV as Satan's forces continue to battle hard against us.
