Interesting day...

Today, I went on campus at Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) to try to find some students to talk to. The goal was to try and scope out where students spent a lot of time, what kind of things and events are available, and just generally finding out good information that would be helpful in starting a new ministry targeted for the students at IIT. We didn't find many students, but I did have one conversation. The conversation didn't go very far, but it wasn't an unpleasant one.

For the rest of the afternoon, I spent time with my mentor/discipler. We got lunch and talked about some things one-on-one. The conversation we had was pretty cool. It was refreshing to be reminded about the essence of our heart as human, and how our sinful hearts need to be changed and refocused by God in order to affect change in our sinful behaviors. Just focusing on the fact that our hearts are the single root of our desires and actions really spoke to me during that conversation.

I got an email from Doug today. He replied saying that he enjoyed our conversation on Sunday, and that he is open to more conversation about the Gospel. I am praying that God really works in his heart and that he uses me to be able to share with Doug. Keep Doug and the condition of his heart in your prayers also.
