So the engaged life is treating me well and I am having a great time being back from China for over a month now and back in the swing of things at Wesley. We have had some great happenings in the past couple weeks, and I am very priviledged to be a part of it all.
On October 30th Last week we had an amazing worship gathering on Campus at UCF called Prayer Knight (not what I would have named it but, whatever). It was hosted by All the Christian campus ministries at UCF and I helped put it together as the Wesley representitive at all the meetings. The event was a set up in the big ballroom on campus and the whole room was divided into stations, where students could interact and experiance prayer and worship in differen’t ways. Wesley hosted the World Map station and the Self-guided prayer corner. At the map station we played this video I created to guide students in prayer for the world:
I spent the beginning part of the night praying for the Holy Spirit to come and reveal himself to all the students. However as I continued to pray, I found the Lord correcting me. I wanted him to come and just wreck all of us, reveal himself and have us fall on our faces. Then I felt him saying ‘how much greater is it when I don’t force myself, when people apart from my direct presence come and worship me.’ I spent the majority of the rest of the night just watching others participate in the stations and in prayer, and It was really encouraging, and it did bring him Glory. overall the night was great and talking to people afterwords I know it was very well recieved.
Another great event happend this last weekend and that was the Homecoming Tailgate at UCF. Wesley had free chicken and we gave it away all day that day to students on campus. We also had the amazing “UCF College Gameday” at out tent, hosted by another intern and some students. We posted the auido from the program online at Wesley’s main page. It was very funny actually once they got warmed up, so check that out.
I also got some more pictures back from China this week, here is a couple for your viewing pleasure:
This is a Nosu women whom we were able to chat with for a little bit while she was out in the field. The women all wear really cool traditional clothing. Very Brightly colored, and often times very large hats.
Getting passed as we head up the mountain.
This guy followed us up the trail for a bit, he was very nice, but he did have a gun, so we were weary. Anyways, turns out we were going up the trail towards his house so he was just following us cause he had to.
Here is some more, including one of the chicken I ate.

- Beautiful valley, unfortunately we were headed up those mountains in the distance.
