Church Family,
This past Sunday we looked at Psalm 33. This psalm clearly establishes that the Lord alone is our rescue. The laws and structures of even the greatest nations cannot be our rescue; they are subject to the will of God which alone stands forever. The might of armies cannot be our rescue; they all pale in comparison to the might of our Lord. We are called, then, to be glad in the Lord and to sing songs of praise to him who alone is enthroned over all. Let us rejoice in the fact that our hope is not in the fading things of this world but in the sure and steadfast love of the Lord.
Christian Challenge
Starting in the Fall semester, Light in the Desert will be leading the Christian Challenge ministry on ASU’s Polytech campus. Christian Challenge is a ministry organization focused on bringing the Gospel to Arizona’s college campuses and connecting students to local churches for discipleship and service. We plan to establish a consistent on-campus presence at Polytech by tabling to spark Gospel conversations and having regular Bible studies on campus. We also plan to connect the students we reach back to Light in the Desert so they would reap the benefits of the church gathering and of discipling relationships. Even as someone who was a believer long before college, being part of a college ministry that was closely tied to a local church played a vital role in keeping me grounded in a church and in the Gospel both while I was in college and afterwards, so I have no doubt that this is a valuable ministry. As we approach the start of the semester we ask that you would be praying regularly for this new ministry effort, not only that it would be fruitful but also for guidance in how you might come alongside us in reaching the students at Polytech.
Grace be with you,
Logan Murphy
