| God is really working something in the Hispanic Community at the Ohio State University. I met 2 people who are interested in Destino at retreat, both of them being Hispanic. One of them has a solid Christian background as well! Praise be to God! At retreat I was suckered into representing my team in the dance off. I placed in the top 5 which is nuts.

| God is awesome in the way he answers prayer. Lately one of my recent prayers has been for more Hispanic women being raised up. This past week one of the guys in Destino invited a women out to our dinner that we have every week. Then I randomly met another Hispanic women and had the opportunity to talk to her and get to know her. Then today Holly tells me about a Hispanic girl they met on campus just this week who is even going to be going to retreat tomorrow! It is awesome to see how God is going to answer this prayer!

| Today's Bible study was really interesting, first started off with me waiting outside the dorm for a half hour with 2 pizzas in my hand waiting to get in. Everyone ended up running late for Bible Study. At first I was a little frustrated because I knew Alex was depending on me to pick him up from the airport. When Juan arrived he brought his Hispanic roommate Chris to the Bible Study! When this happened I became really excited about it! I was originally going to do a Bible Study on evangelism in how to share your faith, but I then I decided at the spur of the moment to do something completely different, so I kinda winged a Bible study together as I went. I decided with in a moments notice to do the Bible Study on Romans 8. After the Bible Study I get a call from Alex Costa saying that he didn't need a ride that he already had one. At the end of the Bible Study I got to talk with Chris, and shared the 4 laws with him. When I asked him if he were to die today how sure he was that he would go to Heaven, he said he was pretty sure he would go to hell. He is a non-believer from a Catholic background, but he is hungering to be in a relationship with God, though somethings holding him back is that he believes that it is necessary to confess to a priest regularly for forgiveness of sins. I told him that there is no one that can forgive our sin but God, and that Christ paid the price for us on the cross. I also made it clear that I am not trying force him to convert or anything of that sort because I am unable to do that, just to make sure he didn't get offended by anything that I said. I said if there was going to be a change in his life it will be between him and Christ. He is planning to continue to come to the Bible Studies. Pray for Chris that he may make a decision to genuinely accept Christ as his Lord and Savior of his life. It is awesome how God provided this time for me to share the Gospel with Chris. Probably the more awesome thing is Juan is taking part in ministry mode evangelism and he probably doesn't even know it yet! To God be all the Glory and all the Praise!!!

| Acts 4 32 All the believers were
one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was
his own, but they shared everything they had. 33 With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them all. 34 There
were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned
lands or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales 35 and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need.
Wonder how this would have looked like.
