Bi-monthly Prayer Walk

We had a wonderful prayer walk at the campus in July, with several small groups of campus staff and volunteers praying at the OSU campus. 

 

 

Some of the areas we prayed over were dormitories, engineering buildings, and locations that international students frequently gather.

May the Lord continue to “soften” the spiritual ground before the students’ arrival for the fall.

We invite you to join us each month. We meet every 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month at 11 am – 1 pm.

Bible Discussion Groups

This summer, we have about a dozen groups meeting together, in person or online. Many groups want to continue to meet in homes or small settings, so we have decided to continue the decentralized meetings throughout the summer and the fall.  

One student G., who received Christ last winter and is now back in China..., continues to meet with our campus minister online for Bible discussion so that he continues to grow in his faith. His new bride also joined the meeting. May the Lord continue to build a good foundation of faith in them!
