For this update we borrowed an update from Jason, who serves on the 2-year STINT team. He writes:
" So, yesterday (Monday) was our first day in the dorms. Many of us had difficult mornings, and most of us were full of anxiety. Our hope was to talk to about 150 students during the day and then invite them to an event that evening.
In the past this amount of advertisement would only attract a couple students (probably female), but this time was a little different. We went door to door in the dorms and handed out welcome bags, did surveys, and gave personal invitations to this weeks events.
I like the simple survey, it only has 4 questions: What do you study? and Why did you choose it?, What is the one thing you would like to do in your life?,. Have you ever experienced God?, and Rate your desire to know God personally considering that is possible?. We had amazing conversations with the opportunity to share personal testimonies and the Gospel. We invited everyone to an evening of silly games and hanging out, but it got rained out which turned out to be a blessing from God. Why? Well, the average group of students that have come to Agape events in the past were maybe 5 to 6 with all but maybe 1 being girls (not a bad thing), but the guys on the team really want to engage and challenge Lithuanian guys.
Last night we had 16 students come and all of them were guys, it was great. We hung out and played pool and extended our invitations to tonights event. Please continue to pray for the hearts of students in Kaunas and that God will bring revival to this small country. Also that God will provide lasting relationships with students both guys and girls through this weeks events and that either Bible Studies or Alfa courses could start up in the dorms. Thank you and Thank God for all He has done already. God Bless, Jason
