The Walls of USC!

In the narrative of the "Fall of Jericho" in Joshua 6, it talks about how Joshua and the people marched around the city of Jericho everyday for six days until the seventh day when they walked around seven times and then shouted causing the walls to collapse, giving the city over to the people. What must they have thought doing this and thinking that the hard, stone walls of this city would fall simply from such things as walking as shouting. It was all beautiful faith...

So last week (Jan. 20th-26th), Cy, Gina, Alex R. and I walked around USC everyday at 6:30 and prayed. (It takes 40 minutes to walk around the campus). It was a great time of bonding, of getting close to God, of sacrifice (who needs sleep), and putting our faith into action- praying for those on campus who are open and seeking God.

Here are some of the things we prayed about on our walks:

• What we are grateful for
• The people we've met who are learning about the Bible and God
• Overcoming our distractions
• What we are tempted with
• What we need to work on and confess
• Our relationships with one another
• Our whole ministry family (yeah everyone!)
• Those who give us direction and guidance in our walks with God
• Each other
• And our visions for the ministry at USC!

It was an awesome experience, and though we forgot to SHOUT after the seventh walk (Ahhhhhhh!... There we go...), God is still working and doing amazing things at USC.

Amen and Fight On!
