If you think back over your life, there are probably some key people who influenced your journey. This quarter, our student leaders are learning how God wants to use them to influence the students in their small groups. They are learning that some of their greatest joy comes in seeing others fulfill the vision that God has for their lives. These leaders serve, sacrifice, and invest with the hope that the students they are influencing would be moved to pursue God's vision for their lives.
Aaron (above) is a great example of this. As a first year small group leader, Aaron is passionate about helping the people in his small group pursue Jesus through community, prayer, and Bible study. He tries many different things to help his Bible study engage, like last week when he wrote the whole passage on butcher paper on the wall so they could study and discuss it differently. I love his creativity!
Aaron has been influencing Zach, a Christian who has grown a ton in the last few years in IV. As Zach is growing under Aaron's influence, he invited his non-Christian roommate Alex to come to Bible study. Alex agreed and has been a regular this year at Bible study and just recently started coming to our Guy's Prayer Group that meets weekly. He's asking great questions and is discovering that God has incredible things for his life. Please pray for Alex!
Aaron influences Zach who influences Alex. I love it! I'm praying that more students understand how God wants to use them to influence their peers and help them see Jesus!
