We’ve been doing this to answer the question: What does it mean to be “Overflowing with Sacrificial Love?” It means choosing to leave your comfort zone so you’re not just overflowing all over your Christian buddies. So we’re learning to be a fellowship on the move. It also means risk, as you leave your comfort zone, love, and sacrifice. But students are choosing to risk so they can be a part of what God is up to on campus.
At NSO Training and our first Large Group Outreach, we headed out to ask students if we could pray for them. God definitely went before us. One pair of pray-ers encountered a student who was desperately lonely and homesick, doing laundry in her dorm. My partner, Brandy, and I got to pray with a student whose mother had passed away 3 years ago to the day. Many students were worried about classes or tests. We got to sacrifice our time and energy to love them through listening ears, comforting words, and prayer.
