Engage Leadership Conference Reflection

The leaders of the BSU attended a conference in St. Louis, MO the weekend of February 25-27. At the conference the leaders attended 5 main sessions and a few breakout sessions. The main sessions included an excellent speaker and worship songs performed by the Jon Meyer band and for the breakout sessions the students selected a session that sparked their interest. They had sessions ranging from knowing God's will for your life to how to use money in a God-honoring way.

The conference was more than anything a reminder to the leaders that we need to step up. As leaders we need to be more relational with others. The leaders came to the realization that improvement can be made in many areas of the BSU. As Christian leaders we need to recognize the needs of others. God spoke to the leaders of the BSU in many ways this past weekend. The trip to St. Louis was very rewarding for everyone. It will be exciting to see everyone assume their leadersip roles after getting fired up from the conference!

24/7 Prayer Recap!

24/7 Prayer is an amazing week filled with continuous prayer for a full week. The students of the BSU sign up for one hour time slots in which they go to the Prayer Room located on the top floor of the BSU. It is here that students can engage in a quiet time, reflection time, or worship time with our Creator.

The prayer room has walls covered in paper for the students to express their prayers and praises. Along with the prayer walls, the prayer room also contains a cross which enables the students to lay their struggles at the cross. There is also a prayer journal that contains prayers from the past few years. It's amazing to see what God is doing in everyone's lives.

After the week of praying 24/7 the BSU comes together for a testimony night. At testimony night the students reflect on their prayer time and share their experience with others. Taking the time to show how God is working in your life is very important because God can use one person's situation to be a light to others. God desires a relationship with his children and 24/7 is a perfect time to reconnect with Him.
