What a whirlwind! Two campus conferences in two weekends!
On February 22nd, we took 107 Philadelphia area students and leaders representing twelve(!) local colleges and universities to our annual Every Nation Campus Conference in Chantilly, VA. It was an incredible weekend!
Fourteen students from our group were baptized, and many more were deeply impacted by the worship, the messages, the workshops, and the deep-dive into community. I even had the opportunity to play an unexpected role when the speaker for the Saturday afternoon main session couldn’t make it because of weather! I’m not sure if the early church held ENC Conferences, but Paul did tell Timothy, “Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season.”
I spent the following weekend in Austin, TX where I spoke and ministered during the Saturday night session of our Texas ENC Conference, and then at three services on Sunday. (Everything really is bigger in Texas, including the number of church services.) It was a jam-packed 24-hour stretch, but I am thankful to have had an opportunity to serve students from all across Texas.
Regarding our own in-house student ministry, we are getting closer to having two college students in the Bouch family. Please pray for provision and wisdom as we prepare to make decisions about Hayley’s college education. Hayley is still very interested in nursing and international missions work. (She’ll be traveling to Cuba in May for her third mission trip!)
Thank you for partnering with us to see students reached with the Gospel. God is at work in lives across the nation.
With joy,
Gabe Bouch
