Prayer Update: October

October has been a month of growing friendships and strengthening connections! We’ve continued to add new people to our ministry. Around 15 students are now regularly involved, some of whom are exploring the Christian faith for the very first time.
 
Here’s a quick rundown of what we did in October:

• Each Sunday we continued our study of Mark, discussing topics ranging from sharing faith to spiritual growth.
• October 6-8 we attended a Fall Retreat with more than 150 students from campus ministries across the state. Seeing these other ministries in action gave our students a great picture of what Pulse could one day become. Visit our website for a full recap of the weekend!
• Back in August we applied to be a registered student organization at UCA, and on October 10 the university officially approved our application! This means we can use university facilities, advertise on campus, and participate in recruitment days, all of which will be indispensable to Pulse in the coming years.
• October 28 was Homecoming at UCA. To celebrate we partnered with one of the Small Groups from University Church to host a tailgate party.

 
As October comes to a close, here are some ways you can pray for Pulse:

• Connection: despite all our technology, word of mouth remains the best way for new movements to spread. Pray that our students would have the motivation and courage to invite their friends to Pulse. Pray also for the handful of new students who have gotten involved with Pulse over the last few weeks, that they would connect well, and that we would be a blessing to them.
• Growth: as important as connection is, we realize that it is God who changes hearts. Pray that our students would grow in their love for God, commitment to Jesus, and reliance on the Spirit. And pray that those students with no relationship with Jesus would be inspired and convicted by the love of God revealed through Pulse.
• Continue praying also for our weekly gatherings. We meet every Sunday at 9:00 a.m. and every Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. Both of these are vital times of connection and growth for our students.
