Dave and I are off and running as the fall semester starts on August 25 for Fresno State.

One exciting new development in our ministry is the fact that Dave is now working on the campus of Fresno City College! Yesterday was the first day of classes at City College, and Dave was out on campus doing questionnaires with students. You can be praying for Dave as he begins to meet with students and start a ministry there.

Things are very hectic in the Lowe household! We have many things on our plate as we start the semester. There are many things in our schedule thefirst few weeks of school: meeting with students, doing surveys on campus and setting up bible studies.

Our Awesome Summer

Dave and I had an AWESOME summer in Colorado taking classes! It had been a long time since Dave and I have had the opportunity to take some classes and really dig deep into God’s Word.

We took four classes: Christian Worldview, Church History, Man/Christ/Salvation, and Effectively Communicating Biblical Truth. I think our favorite class was Christian Worldview because we were able to learn more about other worldviews, and what the Christian worldview is. This class will really help us as we relate to students and share Christ with them.

I also learned a lot about how to give a talk on biblical principles. In our class “Effectively Communicating Biblical Truth”, we had to come up with two outlines for talks and share them with the class. I had a lot of fun developing some talks on biblical truths.

National Conference News

After our classes were over in Colorado we had our National Conference for 10 days at Colorado State (where we had our classes).

The National Conference is such a great time for staff to get together and hear about what is going on in other parts of the world. This year was particularly exciting because there were many international staff at the Conference. The first night of the National Conference they had a parade of flags. The national staff came in carrying a flag from their country. There were 172 flags countries that were represented. It really brought tears to my eyes to see all of the countries where Christ is being proclaimed.

The speakers at the National Conference were very challenging. They encouraged Dave and I to press on in our ministry and remember our calling to share Christ with all who will listen.

Thank you for your partnership with us in ministry. We are grateful for you!

Prayer Requests

2. Pray that our students will see the importance of doing evangelism.

3. Pray that Dave and I will stay focused and not get burned out.
