Every year there are exceptional people who cross our path… people who God brings into our lives and ministry that we really get close to and who you can see God working in and through in a special way. Sometimes, there are whole groups of people who come through who together and there is a special synergy that is very hard to manufacture. One might say that it can only be conceived by the creative mind of God. I would have to say we had one such group in our UTA Friday Night fellowship this semester.

Pictures here is a group that bonded and gelled like few others. This group of Latin Americans, Asians, Middle Easterners and Africans (which continent did we miss) were extremely tight and truly loved each others. You could see it in their faces and in their constant being together. It was our privilege too to be close to many of them too and God gave us the opportunity to really love on them and speak into their lives. This semester reminded me much of the heady days when Lisa and I first got involved with international students. The precious fellowship and the obvious work of the Spirit was truly intoxicating then and is still so today. Thanks all for praying for this ministry. I really believe what God built here this semester was the result of all your precious prayers and love for us. Please pray for more semesters like this one.
