Greek Mega Bible Study

On a Tuesday night, a group of about 25 students involved in greek life at UNO came to the "Mega Bible Study" hosted by my teammate Adam and I. It was co ed, which offered a different dynamic than the traditional studies that are held each week. The topic of discussion for the night is something that I think everyone can relate to: Relationship, Identity, and Mission.

Caleb, Jill and I before the study began!
Caleb and Jill are both on the FOCUS Greek Exec committee and are helping to plan events like this in the future! Each of them are learning ways in which they can reach out to their sorority and fraternity members now, and eventually how to lead a life of evangelization in the workplace after college.

Study on Relationship, Identity, and Mission
It was crowded, but not a problem for these college students. We just pulled up couches, and chair and this room transformed from a formal meeting space into a comfortable lounge, where the students (and myself included) could listen to God's word, learn from each other, and eat snacks! 


Pulling up couches and chairs, there
was just enough seating for everyone!

This mega bible study went very smoothly! Opinions and questions were brought up by the students and it was so great to hear them discussing and explaining to each other the importance of things like prayer, and going to church. The importance of having a personal relationship for Christ, and how they also need to invite their friends into that relationship. It seems like the students I am working with are really understanding the importance of their actions and how they can both make a positive or negative influence on those around them...and they are choosing to make sacrifices so that they can lead their friends and others to Christ! I am so blessed to be living here to witness this and help them along the way. Please continue to pray for me and the students I encounter. Thank you!
