Sli and Zethu!

Last week we had our first bible study with some girls on campus. It was so great to sit down with these women and get to know them. The week before we met Zethu and Sli at the Crusade weekly meeting. These two women are serving on leadership and are currently the only women involved with the ministry at UKZN. Everything is so new on this campus, so it's exciting to have two women who are committed to meeting with us and learning about Jesus together.

Sli, Zethu, Ali my teammate, and myself spent our time together just getting to know each other. It was so encouraging to watch these two women open up their hearts and share their desires for the Lord with us. We had a couple questions for them to think about during our time, to help cast some vision for our year together in bible study. I was so encouraged by their responses, that I have to share them with all of you. 

One of the questions we asked was, how do you want to be known on campus, and what do you want your identity to be? With no hesitation Sli responded with,“ I want to be known as a true child of God!” She told us that she wants people to know that she knows Jesus by the way she lives out her faith in her daily life. How awesome is that? Another question we asked was, what do you expect from this bible study? Zethu's answers excited me and motivated me. With a huge smile on her face she said, “I want to share my faith with other students on this campus, and I want 1/3 of the campus to know about Jesus by the end of the year”. Isn't that awesome? These two women are so excited to live out their faith and love others like Jesus has loved them. The Lord has truly blessed both Ali and me with these two amazing women. It is such a privilege to study the Word with them, and be a part of what Jesus is doing on their campus alongside them.

These two women are stoked to learn about the Lord and grow in their relationship with Him! Please join me in praying for our little bible study. We know the Lord is going to use Sli and Zethu in great ways this year. They have already blessed us deeply with their excitement for the gospel and deep love for our Savior! Pray that these women would continue to draw closer to Jesus and deepen their faith in Him. We plan to meet with Sli and Zethu every week. Please pray that our times together would be encouraging and motivating. It is exciting to be a part of what God is doing in their lives! Thanks for thinking of them and praying for our times together.
