I love when God invites me to see the ways that he is at work in building our community on campus. I see ministry and community happen, but I love it when God gives me a glimpse into the ways that he is building faith in people. Tonight was one of those nights for me.
On Monday nights, we draw students together in community over a meal, community games (you’d be surprised at how charades does wonders in building community), and we provide a short devotional teaching. Our numbers have been somewhat steady between 12 and 18, and tonight was no different. However, what was a God-moment for me was seeing how people in the community were participating in building the community.
One of the students, a believer and very mission-minded, led us in sweet worship, while another student who is new to our community and to faith communities in general, provided the food for our gathering. As I delivered the word (on Matthew 5.13-16), God seemed to be affirming his joy on me and our community. The God-moment for me was seeing the community do community. Praise be to God!
