It has been a joy to continue in serving with Credo, a Christian youth organization committed to encouraging students in their faith and to reach out with the Gospel on university campuses. The weekend of September 11-12 Credo hosted a Fall Kick off at a local church in Stockholm. In the planning stages we were uncertain how many would join and were thrilled that 50 students participated in the retreat. The theme for the weekend was “Listen” and focused on scriptures from Matthew 17, and Deuteronomy 6:4 where God’s people are encouraged to cultivate a listening and responsive heart towards God. In small groups students shared openly about how they seek to listen to God and the challenges they face in today’s culture.
It was amazing to see the students lead the worship, cook and serve all the meals and the way they created such a welcoming, joyful and prayerful atmosphere throughout the weekend.
Pray for:
Student leaders who are living out their faith in Jesus on campuses across Sweden, for God’s encouragement in their lives as they balance many commitments and the pressure of their studies.
Pray for a prayer and bible study group that is forming for the first time on a campus in the southern part of Stockholm. They had their first meeting in September and are praying for more students to join.
