Burden
University of Missouri—St. Louis (UMSL)
With so many local students, there is a strong burden to gain typical Missourians at UMSL. The church has been faithful to labor at UMSL through tabling, weekly Bible studies, and one-on-one appointments with open students. The testimony is that the students are open and warm to the gospel and fellowship. Our burden this year will be to continue to labor to bring the students into the one-on-one appointments and small groups of the church. We continue to pray for a campus-recognized club and a full-time campus team in 2023.
Washington University in Saint Louis (WashU)
There are many graduate students currently meeting with the Church in St. Louis. We hope these students will be seeds of the gospel to gain their friends and colleagues and connect them to the local small groups.
