Though Paul was from a religious home, he did not have a personal relationship with Christ. After sharing the gospel with Paul, he decided to place his faith in Christ and begin a relationship with God.

I began meeting with Paul for some follow-up Bible Studies to help him grow in his faith. After a while, Paul joined a small group Bible study I was leading with some other freshman men.

Later in his freshman year, Paul started coming to our weekly meetings and getting to know other Christians in our group.

As a sophomore, Paul continued his growth and development as a believer and I challenged him to be discipled. Essentially, I was asking Paul to make a deeper commitment to Christ and to learn how to multiply his life into others on campus.

Paul accepted the challenge and began learning to share his faith. At our Christmas Conference in San Diego, Paul decided to end his relationship with his non-Christian girlfriend. He also decided to invest his summer on a summer missions project with Campus Crusade.

This summer Paul had the opportunity to share Christ with over 200 people, of which 20 accepted Christ.

Now Paul is leading a freshman Bible Study in one of the dorms on campus.

Paul is a great example of just one of our students who is making an eternal difference in the lives of other students. Please continue to pray for Paul and the rest of the students in our ministry.

It’s amazing to think that we are now into our fourth year at UC Davis. This year has been incredibly exciting so far.

Here is a taste of what’s been happening on campus:

• We had 200 students at our first meeting
• We over 200 freshman at a BBQ during Welcome Week
• We had over 30 students helping during Welcome Week activities
• We have over 20 students leading Bible studies on campus
• We’ve been placing weekly ads in our campus newspaper
• We passed out 1000 Freshman Survival Kits on campus

On Wednesday (Oct 17), I met with Scott, a student who filled out a questionnaire to receive a Freshman Survival Kit. Scott had been to church as a kid but it was obvious from our conversation that he was not a believer.

I had the opportunity to share Christ with Scott and when I asked him if he wanted to begin a relationship with Christ, he said yes.

Scott is now a believer and we are praying that he will continue to grow and get involved in this ministry.

Please continue to pray for Scott and for us.

Please continue to pray for our ministry. To make it easy for you to pray for us, we’ve come up with an easy set of numbers for you to remember our ministry in prayer:

10 the number of students we are praying will go on International summer projects next year.

40 the total number of students we are praying to go on summer missions projects this summer. Also, the number of students we pray will go through our Evangelism Training this year. Also, the number of freshman men and the number of freshman women we pray will get involved this year.
