Jersey Metro students pray for the state

This was our planning retreat back in January. Without this retreat, I'm not sure half the things happening on campus would be possible today. Students are currently so overwhelmed with work and classes, that planning for ministry stuff would be impossible at this point.

Thank God that that's not really an issue for most of our students. One thing we planned for ahead of time at this retreat, was as a state to have an event called "Quest Week". This is a week where our students from all 33 campuses around the state take the initiative in the power of the Holy Spirit to step out on campus and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with students, faculty and staff at their schools. From 5-question spiritual surveys called "Quest" to picture surveys called "Soularium" and outreaches called "Pizza and God", students have been trained in a variety of tools to strategically bring up "Jesus" in their conversations! This week has been covered in prayer and hundreds of conversations have already been had and it's only Wednesday! God is doing great things here and I'm so happy to have you as part of it.

To the right is a picture of some of the students leaders at Kean University, my alma mater. These students worked diligently to come up with their own mission statement, vision, and goals they want to see accomplished specifically at Kean! They have been meeting weekly to discuss the details of these plans, pray, and see God move. Thursday night is their typical weekly meeting, but these students are working everyday to see God be glorified at Kean! This Quest week, they have shared their faith in the University center through Soularium (pictured below) and even tonight through "Chill & Chat", their version of "Pizza & God", which is an open conversation where pizza is given for free and conversations about God and spiritual things are promoted.
