As I spend more time on campus, it's evident in their glassy eyes. Most students spend a whole lot of time doing a lot of nothing. But if you ask them to do something, they are always busy... unless you ask them to be a part of something earth shattering.  They aren't into getting into things half-way. "Either we change the world, or I'll just go smoke a joint thank you." Though I haven't heard that exact quote, this line of thinking has been evident in a thousand ways.

At the beginning of the year, when we spoke of getting a group together, Christian students were somewhat excited. They liked the idea, but it was clear that they were also a little stand-off-ish. What would it be like? Can I actually invite my friends here?  Will this just simply be a Christian club or do we want to turn our Cégep upside down? Do we want to mess around or change the world?

You can see it in their eyes. They flash more, fire and life are more and more evident.

Yesterday we prayed together. No, I mean we PRAYED together, for about 20 minutes. "God, please change this Cégep! Transform hearts! Open eyes! Start a movement of young people who are passionate about you!" I don't even have to lead. We bow our heads and the prayers fly up, accompanied by a passion rarely seen at normal prayer meetings.

Right after we (us Christians) said amen, 3 non-Christians (all invites of the Christians present) walked through the door. 

Would you pray for us? Yes, you there, reading these pixels. Would you pray for us RIGHT NOW? We are on the front lines of the battle. We will be ridiculed. We will be mocked. But we know it is worth it. Jesus bought this privilege with His blood. 

How can you pray? Here is our schedule for the rest of the session. Could you put the themes on your calendar?
