I can hardly believe it, but it's time to start planning for how to train potential new leaders for SFA Chi Alpha's next school year! The Lord has been so good to us this year. We started the year with 1 student leader and about 2-3 additional students. We have consistently seen 30+ students at events. We have seen 2 students saved and many more are asking good questions and really seeking Truth. What a beautiful thing God is doing at SFA! The practical side of this story sounds very much like a conversation Jesus had with His disciples once: "Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.
36When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
37Then he said to his disciples, 'The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.
38Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.'" (Mt. 9:35-38)
WE NEED WORKERS! When the interns graduate at the end of the school year, we will have only one small group leader left. It would be negligent of us to not make preparations for continuing to disciple the people God has connected us with this year.
Would you please pray with us that the Lord would call a group of 5-10 students to lead small groups next year and for their development as leaders?
