HULLAH TIMES
Dragged to Him

Praises and Prayer Requests

Praise God for drawing Sam and Cedric
into a relationship with Himself and for
allowing us to be a part of it.
Pray for these two young men to continue
to grow in faith and wisdom in their new
relationship with God.
Pray for students to attend our separate
mens and womens overnights next
weekend to grow in deeper relationships
with their peers and the Lord.

Jesus speaking says, No one can

come to me unless the Father who
sent me draws him. And I will raise
him up on the last day. John 6:44
The Greek word that is translated
draw in this passage is helkuo
which means to drag (literally or
figuratively). Obviously God is the
one responsible for bringing us into
relationship with Himself, but
amazingly He chooses to allow us
to be a part of that process and
experience when we step out in
faith to share the gospel with those
around us. In the last month, two
such students have been drawn to
God because they have heard
the life-changing news of the gospel. Sam, a sophomore, recognized that his life was empty and
he needed
God, so in
a prayer of
desperation
he
asked that
God
would do
something
in His life.

The

day
Sam
met some Cru students and staff
that were doing spiritual interest
surveys in the University Center
(the student union). After completing the survey, Sam was met with
that same day and after hearing

the gospel, invited Jesus into his

life. How encouraging to see God
draw Sam to Himself. A few days
after Sam had invited Jesus into
his life another sophomore was
having a
similar
conversation
with
God.
Cedric

vices in his
life were not good for him or fulfilling his life. He knew he needed
a change, and like Sam, had filled
out a spiritual interest survey.
When a student leader named
Ben ended up meeting with
Cedric, he knew that the gospel
and this new community of people were the change he needed.
Cedric invited Jesus into his life
and has been excitedly growing
spiritually ever since. Both Sam
and Cedric have been consistently connecting with Cru students
and staff and have been attending a local church, so we are very
excited to see their faith in the
Lord grow as they learn more
about Him through His word and
the community of believers in Cru.

Thank you for letting us join in Gods work

of helkuo-dragging us to Himself. We
couldnt do it without you.
