Hi Family!
I know this is cliche, but, Aslan is on the move.
Fall Retreat was last weekend, and so many good things happened. Students were saved, healed, and delivered. A few weeks ago at InterVarsity here on campus, six backs were healed. Last night at Chi Alpha, one of our students who is a cross country runner had her foot/ankle/knee/hip healed.
It was, and is, amazing! We have been talking about how every time Jesus spoke, he followed up with demonstrating the love and power of God. He told us to go do the same, so, after the message, we asked if anyone needed prayer, and this runner raised her hand. We gathered around, and asked God what He was doing. Another student, a new believer who has been getting rocked with emotional healing, said, "He wants to strengthen you in every way." So we released strength to her leg.
After about five minutes, we asked her how she felt. "Amazing," she said. Could she try something she couldn't do before? She got up, stretched her leg, and did some tentative jogging around the room, all the while saying "oh my gosh, oh my goodness." Then, "Holy Toledo!!" as she disappeared from the room. We all waited, and suddenly she comes SPRINTING into the room. Whoops and shouts erupt from our students, and she runs into Phil and hugs him, crying. The room was in chaos, laughing :) We told her to bring the team next week, and we'd pray for them all.
woooohooooo!!!
Fall Retreat with UMD was wonderful, not only for our students, but for us personally. We had more confirmations that we can count, telling us we're doing exactly what we were created to do- from almost the whole student body showing up at our break-out session, to Chuck directly from the pulpit encourage us as ones who have gone through the fire and come out changed. And many more in-between. We are energized and blessed.
Thank you thank you thank you for helping us do this! WE LOVE IT!!
LOVE YOU TOO!!
Us Thoofts
