Week 4

Cooler mornings, pumpkins outside homes, and candy corn for sale at the grocery store can mean only one thing...FALL is here! I love fall. It is my favorite season- bar none. I love the changing colors of the leaves and the crisp "light jacket" temperatures outside.



As the seasons change, our schedule here at KSU becomes a little more solidified. Bible Studies and Bible Discussions begin to become permanent in our schedule and we have developed more of a rhythm in both life and ministry. Below is a picture of some of the guys in Bob's Upperclassman Bible Study. These men have been involved with our ministry for a handful of years now and we just LOVE them!

We are so thankful for all of the prayers- God continues to move in great and mighty ways.

"And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You many ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it." -Jesus quoted in the gospel of John

Please join us in praying for:

• Freshman Connection Bible Study. (Alissa leads a study for AZD and PiPhi sorority women.) Pray that the women involved would be committed to attending and completing their studies.
• Bob's Upperclassman Bible Study. That the men would grow in their godliness and their desire to share the good news of Christ with their friends.
• AZD Investigative Bible Discussion. Pray that the girls in the study would see who Christ is in a real way and would desire to have Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
• LXA Investigative Bible Discussions. Pray that the men would see who Christ is and desire to put their faith in Him.
• Men's/Women's Fall Outreach Retreat. (October 9-10) Please pray that we would see over 150 attend these retreats in KC.

We love you all! Bob and Alissa

End of Week 3

Above: A picture of ALL the student leaders at our retreat in Kansas City.

Bob and I recently returned from Kansas City for our Student Leader Retreat. What an encouraging time with our students. God continues to do amazing things at K-State. We have been able to see over 20 students come to faith in Christ, tons of enthusiasm at our weekly meeting, and our student leaders really taking their walk with God and the gospel seriously!!

Here are some things to pray for this week:

1. Bob speaking to the pledges at Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity

2. Alissa begins an investigative Bible discussion with freshman in Alpha Xi Delta Sorority

3. Bob speaking with the Tau Kappa Epsilon President and open doors to share the gospel

4. Alissa begins an investigative Bible discussion with KSU cheerleaders

Thanks for praying as we seek to penetrate KSU with the good news of Jesus Christ!

The First Few Weeks

WOW! The first 2 weeks are almost complete here at K-State. Crazy to think that the first KSU football game is this weekend!!! Go CATS!

Bob and I, along with our staff team, returned from our retreat geared up and ready to go on campus. It has been fun, fast, and a little crazy! We have enjoyed meeting students, developing relationships, and inviting students to walk with JESUS.

Here is a quick run-down of what the first few weeks have looked like:

Aug. 22- Students moved in!

Aug. 24/25- We hosted three booths on our college campus that invited students to meet us, become familiar with STUMO and think about their own spirituality.

Aug.27- Our FIRST STUMO NIGHT! This is our large group meeting that includes a worship band, relevant and Biblical message, and FUN! We had over 700 students attend.

Aug. 28- STUMO hosted a "Back to Campus" barbecue.

Sep. 2- Bob and I celebrated his 30th Birthday! :)

Sep. 3- Bob speaks at STUMO NIGHT.

As always, thanks for your prayers and support! We couldn't be here without you!
