Discipleship Resources Project!
There are many students who are mentoring/discipling others one-on-one or in small groups to help Christians take their next step towards Jesus. But for a while, our ministry hasn't had a central, updated and organized place where students could go for great resources that point them to biblical passages and truths on various topics. As you know, not everything you find online is profitable or helpful. So in the past year, Trevor has led a team to complete this much needed Discipleship Resources Project that is now live on our website! It is a compilation of different articles, podcasts, videos and books that we think will be helpful in students growing to be like Jesus. Go to p2c.sh/discipleship or click the button below to take a look and use it yourself, if you find it helpful.
All our large events at UW are outdoors this term with a capacity of 100 people.
First year students stayed in the drizzling rain for 90 minutes to meet each other!
586 Days
Students are desperate for community. It was 586 days between the last time we met as a community in person mid March 2020, to the first time this September. 586 days of trying to get to know people through a screen and a microphone (oops, you're on mute!)We knew that students were wanting to meet others in person again, but we under estimated the desperation and the lengths they are willing to go to make that happen.
76 first year students came out to our First Year Connect event in the beginning of September. It rained the whole time, but the students stayed.They were choosing community over comfort and God was flexing His ability to bring people together.
Each Friday our weekly meeting is outside in a green space in between buildings. It's a great chance for people who are walking by to see and hear a glimpse of Christian community.Even when it's been 5 degrees, dark by the time we started, and midterm season, we have had 85 students come. Students have been hurting without in person community, and it's been a blessing to be able to meet together again (safely).
Pray for the many students who are desperate for community with others and they would bring each other closer to Jesus as they do so.
Our annual fall retreat looked a little different this year. But God provided wonderful weather for 120 students from University of Waterloo, Wilfred Laurier, University of Guelph and Conestoga College to gather. Community was built and they were inspired to help others take steps towards Jesus.
Family Fun!

God is doing amazing things through these students.
Please continue to pray that
God would give these students
humility, love, hope and courage
to bring Jesus to people around them.
Thank you for all your support in helping students discover Jesus
