Hello,
Thank you for your prayers and support. I hope you're all
keeping well; here is an update on the last newsletter.
Since coming back to college after my time away in Uganda I have
been busy with essays and my weekly placement at the international
students' cafe. During my time at the café I have had some amazing
conversations with a number of the students and a few of them have
asked for a bible and some have become Christians. Praise God!
Last week I did a group seminar on the Muslim veil to the rest of
the year group. Our presentation went well and we got a good
response from the
other students, which ended up turning into a good class discussion
on the subject.
On the 19th - 27th May I am going to an evangelical church in
Dorchester with my tutor group for our mission week. We went to
visit the church last
week to meet the people and introduce ourselves to them. I am
staying on my own with a young couple who seem really nice. They
have a young
Springer spaniel so I will feel at home with a dog about! As well as
leading the Sunday services in church we will be doing various
things with the church in the community. In the mornings we will be
holding a café and bookstall in the church for people to just pop in
for a coffee and a chat.
One afternoon we will be going into the town centre to speak to
people while filling out questionnaires about what they think about
the church and Christianity. We will also be going to a skate park
to do the same thing with the young people there. One morning we are
helping out at a breakfast for the homeless with a few people from
the church. We are also holding an Italian themed night in the
church with a meal and a small evangelistic talk. I am really
looking forward to going and spending time working with my tutor
group.
Once our mission has finished I get a few days off for half term
before starting my final few weeks to complete my degree. My last
day is 30th June when I have my commissioning service - Praise the
Lord!
Praise Points:
Since last term I have felt more at home in college and have
continued to settle into the year group well. Although feeling very
tired my health is continuing to recover and my strength is
improving. Since Christmas I have been going out with a guy in the
second year called Mike. He is really lovely and things are going
well.
Prayer Points:
Please pray for the international students who have started a new
journey with God. Pray that they will persevere with their newfound
belief and continue to grow in faith.
Please pray that the mission in Dorchester with my tutor group goes
well and that we work well as a team. Also pray that God will use us
effectively so that more people may come to know the love of Jesus.
As I go back to college to do my final few weeks please pray that I
will be able to finish the course well.
I still need to find enough money to cover my fees for the last
term. I am not allowed to graduate until they are paid.
Please pray that God will speak to me about my future and guide me
to what I am meant to be doing next year.
God bless,
Hannah
