I am happy to say that Bible studies are going well! Nine students started leading a Bible study for the first time this semester and I couldn't be more happy or proud of them. I'm leading 4 myself and mentoring 12 women 1 on 1 this semester! Praise God.
When I first started leading a Bible study as a student, I was so nervous, but God blessed me in many ways by doing it. Leading my own study confirmed that God wanted me to be a missionary, my women brought so much joy to my week, and one even became a Sister (Elizabeth Cotter is now Sister Gabriella)! I had never studied scripture in such an intense way than when I first started leading a study. I think I learned more in that one year than I had my whole life growing up in the Catholic faith. It was beautiful and opened me up to much more than I even knew at the time.
I am still touched and pushed by the women in my studies. They are all such unique gifts to me and help me draw closer to our Lord. I pray everyday that the women leading their studies receive the grace and understanding of what it means to be a disciple that I have. To do the Will of God can be scary!
Here's an update of what's happening at ASU:
God has been keeping me pretty busy doing His work, but I'm so happy to do it. I am so fortunate to have a great team, awesome students to work with, and such a supportive family. Please pray for two of our upcoming events: FOCUS Missions Night on October 2nd and for when Curtis comes on October 16th. We'd really like to pack the Newman center for both amazing events, so please pray for students' hearts to be open! Peace and grace, Anna
