Hello Everyone! It's been a little while since I've updated you on the ministry and happenings at Iowa State. Classes resumed mid-January, and I cannot believe it is almost March already! We had a Women's Retreat Event to kick off the semester. We spent the night in Grand Ave. Baptist's youth room, played games, did some crafts, and then attended the E Free Church's Simply Saturday Retreat for women. The main speaker was Elaine Cox who spoke biblically on the topic of Contentment, a good reminder to all of us to be content in whatever situation God has placed us. I was reminded of Phil. 4:11-13: "Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through Him who strengthens me."
In lieu of Valentine's Day, we had an event called Java Love. Al & Elaine Cox spoke about their relationship, having standards in dating, and seeking God and His will above all else. It was a good reminder in this world what a Godly and Biblical relationship should look like. The men decorated, did most of the food and escorted us all in. What a treat! Everyone dressed up, and we had a dance afterwards.
Please continue to be in prayer for...
1. Laborer's Conference this weekend in Maryville, MO: What does it look like to labor and live for Christ for a lifetime?
2. Bible Study: Alicia, Amber, Lindsay & Katie to continue to want to grow in their relationships with each other and Christ
3. Ethiopia: Amanda, Samantha, Hunter, Ben & I will be traveling to minister in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in June. Pray for the existing ministry, us to unify as a team and preparations.
4. Iowa State Campus, Staff & Students: To Know Christ and Make Him Known
May God richly bless each and every one of you! Grace and peace to you in the Lord Jesus Christ.
In Him,
Sarah Ann
