This morning I spent a couple hours walking around campus, exploring and praying. Most of the students on campus right now are international students. These are the same students we are focusing on reaching and interacting with over the next year.
As I sat on a bench next to the living learning center, an area dedicated to helping international students succeed in their time at the University of Oregon. I prayed for them, dreamed of ways to interact with them. While sitting there I realized something about myself that I hope you will join me in praying for.
I need a heart for the international students on this campus. A heart that reflects God's heart for them. His unconditional, total and complete love. International students are not something I have been very involved in, but I know it is something God has planned for me.
I have know I have a heart for native Alaskans for a while now. That heart is something I truly believe God gave me, but I know to say that is the only people He can burden my heart for is limiting my God. Pray for me as I start this journey that every student, international or American I interact with I see through God's eyes.
