Dear Praying Friends,

On February 11th, we hosted a virtual evangelistic outreach called "Story of the Soul" ( a virtual or in-person coffeehouse event where the gospel is shared after considering stories the soul tells through film, music, classic literature, poetry and art).

80 students and staff attended from 12 campuses and seven cities. Four students indicated that they placed their trust in Christ. Another 12 want to talk further about Jesus and their spiritual journey.

Here is what some of the students said immediately after the event:

"I have never experienced an event that moved me as much as this one in a time of need.”
“I am trying to get god.”
“This was a comfortable, safe space to be vulnerable in community.”
“…it really made me think about my feelings & relationship with God.”
“I love feeling all of the connection that comes from studying art and stories like this.”
“I never would have thought to look at various examples of popular culture and find the elements of the desire for Christ in each example.”
“This was not at all what I was expecting to do tonight but I really enjoyed the conversation!”
“The visuals were very thought provoking and the small groups made it very easy to discuss hard topics and open up to people you are meeting for the first time.”
