Sometimes great things happen on the floor. ⠀ ⠀ Between folding chairs, shoved slightly to the side, telling God that He can have your life. Your education. Your everything.⠀ ⠀ Kneeling with elbows on the fold down chairs in lecture halls crying out God's justice in our broken world.⠀ ⠀ Bowed low on woodchips in the glow of summer camp stars, overwhelmed once again by "God loves me."⠀ ⠀ Or sitting cross-legged on a dining hall floor, mind-boggled by application of the Bible passages sprawled on the bench beside you.⠀ ⠀ Have you been there?⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #prayer #respondtojesus #jesus #campministry #campusministry #worship #interceed #joy #prayerministry #campfire

People around us at school and in the workplace ar People around us at school and in the workplace are longing for connection, community, and deep down, for a relationship with God. ⠀ ⠀ In a recent blog, Monica Lai shares her longing to initiate authentic friendships and for her friends to experience the transformative and liberating work of God in their lives, just like she has experienced in her own. ⠀ ⠀ Monica explains that she realized genuine connection and relationships are desperately needed in our culture which values independence over interdependence, and self-sufficiency over humility and reliance. ⠀ ⠀ This is a powerful reminder for us all to keep our eyes and hearts open to how God can bless people through our connections with them. Who can journey with this week?⠀ ⠀ #friendship #connection #notalone #community #Jesus #studentministry #church #tenthchurch #gospel #christiancommunity #everyonewelcome #ubc #intervarsitycanada #workplaceministry #campusministry #oncampus
