And there were 4

This year, we have had the privilege of having six student leaders:  Don, Dan, Lida, Anika, Tyler, and Carrie.  Each week we met up to do a Leaders Small Group where we studied scripture and continued to build community together.  However, their involvement did not start and end with the Leaders Small Group.  They were also doing a lot of other things to bring God's Kingdom to the Campus of SFU.



Tyler - Was one of the leaders heading up the Community Dinners and also started a study group.
Anika - Was another leader heading up the Community Dinners and starting to build connections with the Nigerian Community on campus.
Lida - Overseeing the Community dinners with Tyler & Anika and leading a small group with me.  Lida is coming on VUP.
Don - Co-lead a small group with Carrie & Barron and was very heavily involved in his church community discipling and mentoring students to be leaders.
Dan - Attended mine and Lida's small group and was very heavily involved in his church community discipling and mentoring students to be leaders.  Dan is coming on VUP.
Carrie - Co-lead a small group with Don & Barron and had a really good peer to peer mentorship relationship with each other.

All of our student were actively involved and constantly seeking for opportunities to witness to their peers.

Towards the end of the year, we as a team sat down and discussed numbers in our fellowship.  When we went through the list of those involved in our fellowship we were completely shocked and surprised.  Last year, we had a total of 13 students in our fellowship.  This year, we found out that 40 students were now involved!!  What makes it even better is that 2/3 of that number were not Christians!  It is amazing to see how God added to our numbers when were faithful in our invitations and our responsibilities, but most of all, faithful in our own personal relationship with Him.

One of the realities of this type of work though is that we have to see some incredible student go.  Whether they are transferring Campuses or simply just graduating, it is really sad to see these students leave us.  Please pray for the following students who will be leaving us.

Tyler will be going to UBC to pursue a degree in nursing.  Please pray that his transition into this field will go smoothly and that he will find a place in the community on the UBC Campus.

Carrie is now graduating so she will be looking for work and continuing to serve in her church community.  Please pray that God will continue to guide her in her career choices.

So now, we have four students:  Lida, Don, Dan, and Anika.  Barron and I are really excited to be heading into this next year with 4 student executives.
