This week we are starting up again at Wilmington U. We have tried multiple times to meet with the overarching boss of student activities. We know that they don’t allow any Christian clubs on campus, and we have been operating a bit under the radar with the blessing of the international student office, but we would love to be able to have opportunities to post things and announce that we are there to meet the needs of the students. We met the woman briefly but, no response to requests to talk

For following USAFA international cadets: (1) Shuban to know Christ as his Savior. (2) For Avery's and Jong-Su's next steps after graduation this May, that they will fully embrace Your calling for them. (3) For ex-cadet Jonathan's Christian witness and his success & safety in flight training at Fort Rucker, Alabama. (4) For ex-cadet Grace's wedding this February and her Christian witness.

Praise God, we have a few young adults from our church interested and joining our bi-weekly student home dinners. Please pray God will continue to grow a thriving partnership with volunteers in our and other local churches to reach the international students in Brooklyn.

We have met several Christian Indian students this semester, but they have not been interested to meet for Christian activities: prayer, Bible study, etc. We would love to go deeper with them and we ask for prayer for them to be willing to meet regularly for intentional mentorship and discipleship.

Please pray for two of our students who seem especially hungry for God. Pray for M, who has been studying the Bible with us for over a year now. He said he is ready to follow Jesus if he could experience God in some way! We are praying that God will make Himself known! Also, H had an experience of God at the first of the semester and has expressed interested in reading the Bible. She seems to be experiencing spiritual attack. Pray for protection and for her to fully surrender to Jesus.

Please pray for our family as we look for a new apartment. We found out that we can not re-sign our lease in August and are discerning God's will for next steps. We felt strongly that God led us to our neighborhood in Brooklyn, NY as there are many students around us. We also want to host gatherings in our home and our apartment is large enough to do so. Please pray God will provide something similar for us and to help us to trust and not be anxious in the waiting.

I'm having ankle surgery Tuesday Jan 13 (morning). Please pray for no infection, effective repair of the tendon/s and a smooth recovery (low pain), so I can hopefully get back to campus soon (with my cast/boot).

Let’s pray for more favorable perspective from the public regarding international people residing in the US. With ICE and the crack down on immigrants, I feel people look even at international students with sceptisism. I sense suspicion from Christians as well. May our international students experiences be more welcoming than negative as we all reach out and make meaningful connections with them.

Please pray that seekers would consistently come to our Friday fellowship this semester and that more Christian students would take responsibility.

The space our Friday night fellowship meets is convenient but doesn't meet our space needs well. I will be meeting with the director of the Mott House (owned by Christian Union) next week about possibly using their very suitable space. Pray that it might be possible .

going in for open heart surgery on January 21 with surgery scheduled for the 22nd. Pray for God to guide the surgical team so that the surgery is successful. Pray also for God to provide the necessary finances to cover the cost of the surgery and rehab. Lastly, pray that this event would be used to shows my international friends that God is involved in the lives of his created humans. Thanks!
