Rejoice!
Today we began some orientation and went through the contacts of new students from the summer. It was a lot to go through but was so exciting to see the students we will be meeting very soon! The majority part of our day was spent with the new people on our team and our team leader Dave talking to us about his heart for working here. It was such a great reminder! He first read from Luke 10. After Jesus sent out the 72 and they came back and reported all they'd seen they were so excited. Jesus reminds them that they should "rejoice that their names are written in the book of life." We were encouraged to be people who always remember that, that whatever the circumstances, whether we find ourselves wanting or lacking nothing we have so much and need nothing more when we're found in Jesus. What a great reminder and mindset to strive for while working here, sharing the gospel with Muslim students! Praise God for a leader who desires our relationships with the Lord to be the priority and from there our ministry can stem through the work of the Holy Spirit.
