"God spoke to me." "The Spirit spoke to my heart." "God revealed the idea to me."

Would you take a minute and pray with us for

SKEPTICS WEEK
an entire week of outreaches at UMASS starting today designed to ask and answer tough questions about faith. Several Christian groups have teamed up to reach out with 3 events a day and outreach in between.

Below are pics of students worshipping/interceding for the week at a worship/prayer event last night. Also is a a couple pics of us tabling last week, handing out free coffee from our Freedom Cafe. Also is a picture of the individual talks going on.

Pray that many will come with open hearts and minds. Pray for the speakers from RZIM, the tabling, a Veritas forum on Friday, and for God conversation’s to happen throughout the week.

Blessings on all of you that pray and support our work here.

This week marks the first week of classes at UMass. Would you take a moment and pray for our staff and students? Pray for divine appointments as we seek to show the love of Christ and expand the kingdom of God through acts of kindness, social justice, and proclamation. Our worship gathering meets Wednesdays at the new Freedom Cafe. We are believing that God is going to captivate the campus! Thanks to all who pray and invest in this effort!

After a year of negotiations/renovations, we opened our Freedom Cafe this morning!!! Here's a pic of the space!
