The 2024 Spring Semester has come to an end. But before we say goodbye to our graduating seniors and our students transferring from community college, we have a few highlights to share.
Two of our amazing students at Gwynedd Mercy University. Both Mark and James are studying Occupational Therapy.
We were able to procure some cool Free T-shirts for our Montco ministry.
Our last large group and evangelism-focused event at Del Val University broke an occupancy code. We had forty-seven students, and the maximum is forty-six (sorry-not-sorry, haha).
It was a great night saying goodbye to graduating students and praying for the next class of freshmen that God is going to bring us.
Our student leader Rafael Torres brought a great message with 3 points:
Freedom is Free
Healing is Here
Salvation is at Hand
A lot of gospel conversations and prayers for students happened at the end of the night. Special thanks to NAMB for the Evangelism Grant Monies.
And I am sure of this, that he who began good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. -Philippians 1:6
Our Chestnut Hill Men’s Lacrosse team has made it to playoffs for the fourth year in a row. Our first game is a home game against Georgian Court University.
We are thrilled that our BCM Semester Missionary intern at Del Val U has been accepted into the University of Tennessee's College of Veterinary Medicine for the doctorate program. She shared with us that her highlight of this year of ministry was “watching students grow in their love for Jesus, developing faith in Him.”
Her next goal is to “work with large animals in rural communities, giving them access to treatment as well as the Gospel.”
Thank you, Maria, for your service and heart for Del Val University. We will miss you and are praying God uses you now at the University of Tennessee.
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. -Numbers 6:24-26
First and foremost – thanks for your continual generous support and partnership. We appreciate your prayers for our students and campuses.
Pray for our students as they tackle the last week of classes and final papers and exams.
Pray for safe travels – my PA/NJ collegiate ministers’ cohort is traveling to Memphis, Tennessee. Over 600 campus leaders are getting together for the National Collegiate Summit.
Pray for our students that are graduating and/or transferring, that God uses them in mighty ways, wherever they go.
Pray for our student leaders, both current and for the new Fall 2024 Semester.
Pray for God’s favor and discernment as we continue to expand our Greater Philadelphia Local College Network, reaching new campuses and new students. As we grow, we have more budget, event, and support needs. If your church has any opportunities for us to share the vision of reaching the “Mission Field/ College Campus” in our backyard – let us know.
For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you. -Ephesians 1:15-18a
Ways to Connect and Support
Facebook page: NAMB Greater Philadelphia - Campus Ministries
This is a way you can keep up to date with college events and pray for them, as they happen.
This will give you access to the blog and picture archives.
Giving and seeing the great things God is doing on the college campus is a blessing.
If you are a current partner, thanks so much!
If you are not, please pray about supporting us monthly (anywhere from $25-$100 a month).
Invite your small group or Sunday school class at church to adopt a campus ministry (Delaware Valley University, Gwynedd Mercy University, Chestnut Hill College, or Montgomery County Community College). We can set up a time to prayer walk a campus, meet students, host a dinner, or support an upcoming outreach event. Just let us know where you want to direct your focus.
