The past two weeks, we've been spending time after our summer Bible study praying for the upcoming semester. Two Tuesdays ago, we read 2 Corinthians 5:17–20:
If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
​
Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
We prayed that God would give us hearts to be His ambassadors, and that He would prepare specific new people who are "weary and heavy-laden" and seeking rest for their souls (Matthew 11:28).

​Last night we read 1 Peter 2:9–10:
You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
We thanked God for His excellent mercy in calling us out of darkness into His marvelous light. We then asked for God to stir our hearts to serve in particular ways in ministry with CNCF. Students signed up to pray, to plan Welcome Week activities, to plans fellowship events during the year, to plan our Fall Retreat, to greet students at Tuesday-night gatherings on campus, and much more!

All of these ways of participating in ministry are practical ways that we live out our calling as "priests" to IU and Bloomington, because we do these things so that people might be reconciled to God.

We're excited to welcome new students!
