Busy, busy, busy!


Happy October! Things have been really busy for the International Student Ministry, per usual. Over the past month, we've had a girl's night with some of our international girls, carved pumpkins and dressed up for Halloween, had wonderful Friday night Bible studies, and gone on a scavenger hunt around downtown Athens- not to mention the fact that ISM is about to take a trip to Helen, Ana Ruby Falls, and the North Georgia Corn maze! Cue pictures:

Our Pumpkin Carving Snack n Chat


On average, each of our events has served over 100 students! I am really pleased by how well our Snack n Chats are going this year, but I am even more excited by what has been going on in our Friday night International student Bible study. Several students have started following the Lord, and others are seriously studying the Bible and considering Christianity as more than an "American" faith. Still others are coming back week after week, which is especially impressive as finals and research due dates creep closer. I can't wait to see what the Lord does through this Bible study!

That's all for this update - thank you for your continued support, both prayerful and financial. Without your support, I would not be able to pay my rent, bills, or the gas to get me to Wesley each day to continue running this critical branch of ministry at UGA.
