After a game of Would you Rather... fight Goliath or a lion or be in the ark with the animals for seven months or in the wilderness for 40 years, Jayda, who had started meeting with some of her fellow peers when she came to , kicked off our first small group last night at the Impact House. The topic: The cost of Discipleship!
It was good stuff!! Good job Jayda!!

The competition is over, but the need still remains.
A huge thank you to all who have given so far to support the ministries of FSU Wesley and Gator Wesley.
1. FSU raised more this year than they ever have in a Sharedown.
2. The trophy remains in Gainesville for another year.
3. As we approach the game on the football field, we need to remember that we are in ministry together, sharing the love of Christ on our campuses. Our donors, ministry partners, and faithful supports are a vital part of our team.
Thank you for all you do to support campus ministry in Florida.
Go Gators!! Go Noles!! We love you all.

**LONG TESTIMONY POST, but worth the READ!**

It's been said more than once that the porch draws people and today, it happened again. A few students were answering for me why they still follow Jesus and we shared about the importance of sharing our testimony. Being a witness. A mail carrier, who I only know as Tea, came to deliver a piece of mail that was not ours. She asked a few questions about the ministry, the student housing next door (she didn't know it belonged to us). Asked if we had positions available for students to work, because she knew students on campus, some of whom are related to her, who could benefit from being at Impact.
She then proceeded to tell me a little of her story and how Jesus saved her, prevented her from taking her life.

Then it happened: she delivered the mail she had really come to drop off. This postal worker, who is typically not on our route, unleashed a message about me and what God was about to do at Impact, that I knew could only be from God!
She said "You are the seed planter and I am a waterer and I am watering you today. The students are coming," she kept proclaiming from the top of the porch. "Multiplication is about to happen. You might have six today, but then it will be 12 and then 24, and so on, because students here need what God has planted in you." She said so much more, comparing herself to the Samaritan woman who had come to the well.
"You don't even know how you have watered me today," she said.

She spoke to things I had prayed about and no one knew and she confirmed things I had heard the spirit speak. I recognized her voice as the voice of God.
From the top of the steps she preached and proclaimed what God was going to do concerning FAMU Wesley and I could only cry, and shout and clap and stand in awe.

This is not the first time God has sent someone to prophesy and proclaim from these steps. And it's not the first time students have witnessed someone delivering a God-ordained message just when I needed it. Afterward, they said, "Pastor J, we were just talking about testimonies and you had just asked why I still believe. It's because I see things like that."
God is up to something here, even when the light is dim and I can not fully see, especially through tear-stained eyes, but like Abraham, "when everything was hopeless, believed anyway, deciding to live not on the basis of what he saw he couldn't do, but on what God said he would do." (Romans 4:18).
So I choose to believe what only God can do and as we move in the season of Advent, I wait with expectation to see it happen. Grateful God sent Tea who let me know, I had mail!
