unity

The theme verse at Trinity Western University this year is Ephesians 4:1-6:

I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3 eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

The theme TWU chose from this verse is "Called to Unity, Committed to Community." 

I don't have much to write about this week; things have been going well. Mostly we just need prayer. Derived from this verse, we need: 


Unity

- prayer that people would be eager to join the ministries on campus, whether discipleship groups, coming to chapel, or participating in dorm activities
- prayer that students would want to pray together 
- prayer for Christ-centered, self-sacrificing unity among my team, the Intercultural Programs team, beginning with myself 



Community

- prayer that we at TWU would be true, genuine followers of Jesus who love each other genuinely 
- prayer for the members of our community who are struggling or have given up on their faith
- prayer that people would be welcomed in the Globe (the public apartment-style lounge that I'm a host in); that we would be the hands and feet of Jesus 




Most of all, we pray that we will know the Father. He is what truly unites us.
