Today is the day. The first Crusade meeting. Because of the number of contacts collected, we're going to have a room that is filled to overflowing. The regular upperclassmen attending may not even be able to fit inside because of all the new freshmen. I hope that God brings in a net full of such fish, overflowing with them.
Pray this with me please, for the sake of us being used to spread Christ's kingdom:
Dad, we've got a lot of new people here, people with traumas and issues and strengths and weaknesses. They're not just souls, they're beings with stories. Tonight they're coming to Crusade not really knowing what to expect. God, we want so bad to reflect Your blazing glory to them so that they come back wanting more. Season our conversation with salt (grace) so that they come back thirsty, thirsty for the living Water of your Word. I pray that no matter which ministry they settle down in, if at all, that you work in their hearts. Your kingdom is invincible, and the war has already been won. The winner is predetermined, and it's You. So help us to remember we work for the Victor and we live and breathe heavenly success. I want these men to know that there is more out there for them than a stinking paycheck and a beautiful woman. And I want the women to know that they don't have to spend their college years trying to find acceptance and beauty in temporary things. Turn the rusty gears of spiritual development here and teach us to voluntarily oil them every day. Send a sturdy and confident band of angels to free these freshmens' minds up so they're not being distracted by the glitz of Satan... for one hour tonight. We believe in Your power, and our faith helps us know your angels exist and are fighting for us in real life tonight. We're all working together and all honored to be Your children. Thank you for being who You are. Bless your Crusade you've called together, and please, my Lord and Savior, make our behavior beautiful so they only see the truth about You.
AMEN.
P.S.: Steve from Discovery calls God "Dad" and I kinda liked that. -G
