U of I UBF together with our student club (Deeper Roots in Christ -DrChrist) had Christmas worship services on Dec 12th at the Student Union, University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign. We thank God that our students came in the middle of taking finals. Several guests from Chicago came and prayed for us.
We thank God that we could meditate on one word -Immanuel -God with us based on Matt 1:23. The student leaders prepared the programs under the leadership of Mike Rora, Jeremiah Park and Abe Song.
We had two Christmas worship services. One at 11:15 am. The morning messenger was Sam Lee, assistant pastor. He shared the good news of God, Immanuel based on Matt 1:23. 63 people participated. The afternoon service's messenger was mighty warrior Gideon Shin. His message was based on Luke 2:11. His message made us marvel at Jesus' coming. 9 people participated.
Several non believers came to know Immanuel Jesus through the Christmas worship services. Many commented that they could put their trust in Immanuel Jesus and could have joy in the finals week.
Mike Rora, secretary of our student club (Deeper Roots in Christ or DrChrist) encouraged us to outreach to the students during the finals. In this week we are reaching out to students with Coffee and Christ under the leadership of Joe Jung and Christian Leonard.
Our women coworkers served the students with prayer and care packages and lunch afterward.
Continue to pray for us. We prayed that we could do LESS so that Christ may do More among us.
LESS stands for
- Listen to the word of God
- Empowered by the Spirit
- Serve Christ and his people
- Share the good news of God.
Immanuel. God with us.
