This is the second year that I've attended an Ash Wednesday Mass at a local Catholic church. Just like last year I was struck by the words that the priest spoke as he marked my forehead with a smudge of ash: turn from sin and be faithful to the Gospel.
Being faithful to the Gospel is taking on new meaning for me as I devote more of my schedule to evangelism on campus. Today I had lunch with a non-Christian student and we talked about his spiritual background and some of the questions he has about the Bible. I asked if he would like to meet with me over lunch for four weeks after Spring Break to look at some passages in Mark and talk about what we see the text saying about Jesus. He agreed. Please pray that his eyes would be opened to the hope that we have through Jesus as we study small sections of Mark's Gospel together.
On Friday afternoon I will be striking up conversations with strangers on campus. Three of my student leaders will be joining me and we're excited about the chance to practice some of what we learned during an evangelism training last weekend. Please pray that Jesus would give us boldness as we share his story and that we would encounter people who are truly seeking.
