Now Jesus' mother and brothers came to see him, but they were not able to get near him because of the crowd. Someone told him, "Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you."  He replied, "My mother and brothers are those who hear God's word and put it into practice." -- Luke 8:19-21 NIV

What a joy to begin another term of identifying, encouraging, and equipping brothers and sisters in Christ to be redeeming influcences on campuses across the Mid-Atlantic Region (DC, DE, MD, PA).  Last semester, while serving a gathering of Faculty at Penn State Harrisburg, I had the opportunity to speak into and provide some support to the beginning of an undergraduate fellowship group on campus.  Just before Thanksgiving, I visited the undergraduate ministry's Bible study where I participated in manuscript study of Luke 8:19-21 NIV, led by Bret (an InterVarsity undergraduate campus staff member). 

During the walk through observation, interpretation, and application of the passage, I sat silently giving praise to God for assembling His people for encouragement and equipping.  Today I ask you to join me in prayer not only for the multiplication of this ministry, but also the influence of followers of Christ at Penn State Harrisburg.  In specific, join me in prayer to Father for the Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday Bible studies to be blessed with godly leaders incarnating the Word and filled with the Spirit as they teach and send forth others to ministry/witness/culture-making on campus (and beyond).
