October Update

God has been moving in some exciting ways in these past couple of weeks and I wanted to rejoice in them with you. None of the ways that God is moving is possible without your prayers, encouragement and support of Amy & I.

1. Beach Getaway was a great time for building community for students from UNCC. Amy & I were not able to make it though, Amy was sick the entire week before and we thought it best to rest and recover. But there were about 70 students in total who had a blast and heard the gospel!

2. I was able to speak at UNC-Greensboro's weekly gathering, called "8:05". I spoke to about 130 students on what is the treasure of their lives and then challenged them to make Jesus their treasures. Here is the link for a video that I played that illustrated the challenge that I gave to the students:
During our time in Greensboro Amy was able to connect with about ten girls that she had been investing in during her time at Elon (see attached pictures of girls that Amy discipled at Elon). It is amazing to see how God works in the lives of people even when aren't the ones investing anymore, it's a reminder that God is committed to what He has started.


3. I have started a bible study with four men, three of which play on the baseball team. This is really exciting for me personally as I have a desire to reach the baseball team since so much of my life was spent playing growing up. Pray that these men have an increased desire for the Word of God and follow Jesus.

4. Last week, UNCC had our weekly gathering, called the "U". Honestly, it was the best "U" that we have had in the two school years that I have been at UNCC. God just seems to continue to bring more men and women every week to hear His Word. Last night, there was about 70 students who heard a call from one of our staff to "drop their nets and follow Jesus" (Matt 4).

There really is so much to share. I hope to be able to get together with each of you to be able to personally share more stories about God's faithfulness to His people and to His glory on our campuses here in NC. Thank you for your prayers!

-Zach & Amy
