I continue to be a Fac
ulty Fellow at Purdue and am assigned to a floor in Tarkington Residence Hall. This enables me to build relationships with the men on that floor. We generally have 10 to 15 men who come weekly on Wednesday evenings for floor dinner at one of the dining halls. They are such a great group of guys to be around and a very close-knit group with great camaraderie. It is so refreshing to see this! An example is every Tuesday evening, they go to the gym and sit in the hot tub and play water basketball and volleyball!
During a floor dinner, one of the men said he went to a religious high school, but that he was not very religious. I asked him to explain what he meant. We had a great conversation about what it means to have a personal relationship with Christ.
Recently, I had about thirteen of the guys over at my house for a Super Bowl party as well as a dinner last semester. They love coming over for a home cooked meal and are such an enjoyable group to be around.
I befriended one of the Tark guys three years ago and have been sharing Christ with him. He is not a Christian yet but God is working in his life. Please continue to pray for these men, that I will have opportunities to encourage them and share Christ with them.
