The Prayer Cell within college campus- the beginning of great things to come!!

This post is probably a little late, but better late than never!! J We had our FIRST prayer cell within the college campus last Wednesday. We’ve been having prayer groups held outside the campus and within the hostels but this is the first of its kind, having it in a class room. I think of it even now and I am like, “wow... Jesus... wow...” God’s been gracious in giving us a place within the campus to worship him and learn more about His love for us and more importantly spread the Good News to one and all.

I would like to give a gist of what we did that day..

A small prayer to begin with by thanking God for all His goodness and for the time that He’d given us to worship Him.

We started by singing the beautiful song, ‘God will make a way(by Don Moen)’ which ministered to me personally in a different way and it was so apt for us to sing it that day ‘cos God had indeed made a way for us to spread about His love in college. We next sang ‘We fall down (by Chris Tomlin)’ as an act of surrender to God followed by a wonderful testimony from Jasmine(my classmate) on how God had saved her from her sickbed and how every doctor said just one thing, ”this has been possible only because God was with you!!” Glory to Jesus indeed!!

We followed it up with a small game and learnt this lesson: “We need to live in this world and yet not be of the world. It is difficult, yes, but hey, not impossible!!” And we definitely had some nice time in the process of learning it.

And then we had a message from His Word. We dealt with a delicate topic of ‘sin’, but probably the most important topic for us today in this world where ‘sin’ is termed as either ‘cool’ or ‘not that bad’.

Finally, we all spent a few moments in silence repenting of our sins and sang the song, ’Create in me a clean heart (psalm 51)’. Elizabeth finished it up with the closing prayer.

What a day. This day will be etched in my memory for long for the breakthrough that God gave us in college. When I leave this college two years from now, I will definitely look back on this day and thank my Jesus for His faithfulness and for His promises that are so very true.

So many souls to be won for Christ. Praying that He showers His grace and favour upon my college (Madras Institute of Technology, Chennai). Many should come, taste and see that He is indeed good. One life to live and I’ll live it running for my Jesus!!
