Common Prayer & Scripture

Bible Study at the Community House

Scripture and Prayer are key foundations to our Christian Faith, but if you see the reality of how we do church and fellowship, often prayer is the thing that is the first to go or we don't do enough of it.  

This semester, we did something quite different and risky.  Instead of having the traditional bible studies that are only full of Christians, we decided to let prayer shape our community.  

After days at a prayer retreat, we all felt that we needed to pray more.  So we decided to not formally offer bible studies at the beginning and lead multiple prayer meetings instead.  The result was that our students are spending more time in their classmates and friends lives.  It's bringing up more questions about faith and Jesus while creating a deeper longing and desire to be changed and transformed by Jesus for themselves.  It is from this that 2 investigatory bible studies have been started with students.  One is from a Muslim background and another who is Agnostic.  With the potential of a 3rd one for a PhD Engineering student.

Please continue to join us and pray that we as IVCF SFU will have all things in common.  Pray the common prayer meetings and pray for the common scripture that we would all be able to have "things in common" to be a witness to the SFU Campus.
