Update from King's College


Swot Vac…Australian for, “We get a whole week off to study for our final exams which are spread over the following two weeks.” Sounds like an idea we need to adopt in the States. This week has been nothing but a study week for most of the men at King’s. Thus, most of our visits have found Kingsmen either studying diligently or procrastinating hastily. Thankfully, we have been able to get dinner each night this week with a Kingsman, and God has blessed our conversations with these men greatly. Please pray for continued opportunity for Gospel conversations with these men as we finish up our time here in the next couple weeks. The retreat last weekend was a great time of fellowship with our brothers and sisters here, and it was great to hear God’s Word going out before all of the Australian students. Sunday night we had a Mexican Fiesta at our place for any of the students from the colleges that we have been ministering at, and it turned out great! We had over fifty people present before the night was over! This coming Sunday night we are having an ice cream party at our place after the last Impact meeting of the semester. Please pray that God would bring all of our friends we have made here, so that we can all say farewell to one another, as many of the students will be taking exams during our last week here and may not have time for us to visit. Also this Sunday, a friend from Kings is taking us to see some Australian sights and culture. Please pray that God would use the great relationship He has given us with him to be able to share Christ with him. Lastly, please pray for our time tonight with one of our friends from Kings who we are going to a rugby game with. We have not had much time to get to know him yet, but we are praying that tonight will be a giant leap in our relationship.

  1. Sounds like a good idea to me too. Great to hear that the retreat and fiesta went so well. Ice Cream party sounds good also. It really seems like God is using you in great ways to bring his word to the students there. Keep up the hard work.

  2. Well first off I can not wait to see you Tech peoples again. I am excited on getting to learn how your trip went, and on what you learned about God and yourselves through the trip. Please be ready to meet with me and tell me all about. Make Christ known. Be strong and courageous!
    Love your brother, Sean
