toilet bowl tour!

So I figured I should write about this, even though I don't have pics up. Tonight we did a toilet tour in one of the dorms on campus. I am a part of the community service team(with American students), and we have been thinking of ways that students can do some community service, and so when I was a student at MSU, one of the things our bible study would do once a semester is a toilet tour. you get supplies, and each group of three or four goes around and cleans the bathrooms for people that have their doors open. While two people clean the toilet, sink and mirror and take out the trash, one person explains that we are doing this to practically show God's love to them in a tangible way!

It was so good tonight! a couple students were able to share their faith for the first time, and many of the students that went with us came back and said they had expected this to be awkward going out, but it really wasn't, and it was easy to talk to people about Jesus when you were doing something that is their least favorite chore!

So hopefully this will help get the word out about our group on campus and more people will come to the weekly meeting the American students have. this week and the next two weeks we are doing a big outreach about hard questions people ask. This week is "did Jesus really rise form the dead?" next week is "how can Christians claim Jesus is the only way" and the week after is "is the bible really trustworthy?

so be praying that many new students will come to the meetings and get their hard questions answered!
